Now I know this was and still is a music blog, sometimes its hard to keep out the other facets of my life so...
With water temps still pushing 23 degrees, an ample supply of waves and a few really good sandbanks, I have'nt had much time for anything else. The last month i've been putting in some serious time in the water. I cant remember the last day off i've had where I did'nt surf, plenty of missions down the coast, 8 hour marathon sessions and lots and lots of just plain good waves. Its funny how Spring/Summer can be so amazingly shit then once that magical season of Autumn hits, everything changes. This week looks like were in for some more juice thanks to a nice Tasman sea low, combined with good winds and a serious drop in air temps. Lets hope that keeps the crowds down. I also have a nice new winter board on order, when that drops, I might do run down of my quiver.
Last Friday the 7th of May was looking like just another day of small clean waves but Tamarama seriously turned on for once, 3-4 feet peaks, NW winds for most of the day. Photog Lee kelly scored probably one of the best waves in the last 5 years out there, then ran and got his housing to shoot a few fisheye shots from the water.
He was only out for a little while and I managed to score this shot, but there were plenty more after he bailed and I surfed until I could paddle no more/the tide was too high.
I do apologise to any of my friends who have not seen or spoken with me over the last month or so, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do. Ha!
ENJOY!
