Day 96. – Hike-cycle
Yea, okay so maybe Karloo pools wasn’t ‘just 400m this way’ instead it ended up being an 8km round trip. But that only made the maccas trip after so much more rewarding. Also, if you’re after a great cheesy date idea, Try bike rides during sunset. Results this way ->

Day 93. – 38 Patrol
It’s 38 degrees, the tide is flowing out. But we’re highly trained and overstaffed. Which means we get to surf and roam the beach finding rescues. I bought the new drone along with a darker filter on my lens. Pretty happy with how the photos came out.

Day 92. Good Monday
Start the week off sky-high with a few early morning aerials. Today will be one of those no clouds no wind kind of days. Great for the beach.
-
Day 90. – Loud and Lamborghini
It’s Thursday, Bin Day. The loudest morning of them all. The only morning I’m forced away. Luckily today on the beach we had clouds, waves, and an unreleased Lamborghini photoshoot. A little about this Lambo, it’s called the Urus and it’s not Lambo’s first SUV attempt (which was called the LM002 and resembled a very…

Day 89. – Camp Coastal
$80 – Tent. $20 – Air Mattress. $0 – Camping Pass SOLD OUT. Okay, lets just find a secret beach spot and hope the tide doesn’t come up too much further. Remembering to rise early because the South has too much to see and do!

Day 88. – Is That Rain?
Those storm clouds are getting closer. I’m sure it will be fine… It wasn’t fine.
-
Day 87. – Sunrise And A Skate
Summer is on the way out. The sun is now in a completely different position and extending dusk an extra 30mins. But that didn’t stop the skaters putting in a session for Bowl-A-Rama is this weekend – all the kids are down getting in the last few sessions before the competition kicks off.
-
Day 86. – How To Start A Birthday
Kickoff the morning off right with a surf and a very quick training session. Is that a twinge in my shoulder? can’t be.. Not allowed to get injured on my birthday. Now go to work and have a long lunch – finish the day off with close friends and family for din dins.
-
Day 85. – Mac Pass
Get up early, stay quiet to not wake the housemates. Pack the camera, laptop and snacks. We’re heading on a day trip south.
-
Day 84. – Hi, From Bondi Beach
Hi from Bondi, With no clouds, a perfect water temperature and more tourists than locals. The beach has always got your back.
-
Day 83. – Solo Sunrise
It was like any other Tuesday. Expecting the waves to break nicely and clear Bondi water. Which is exactly what happened. For Christmas, my sister picked me up a new GoPro mount and today was a pretty good day to trial it (more to come).
-
Day. 82 – Still-ness
It’s early.. and the sunrise won’t stop beaming through my window. Maybe I’ll get up and catch up with the paddle training group, then come back and nap? Maybe I’ll just sleep in…
-
Day 80. – New Year Same Beach
With somewhere between 20 to 25 thousand beachgoers coming through, the patrol today racked up 64 Rescues and 350 First Aids (mostly from the bluebottle swam) Plus a heli-rescue on the south cliffs. Today was a monster effort on the beach – Got a few good photos on sundown of the (exhausted) patrol members.
-
Day 78. – Burnt Retinas
If you’ve missed the morning swim it’s too late – Stay indoors now, It’s 7.34am, 28 degrees humid and glary outside. I did manage to snap these few overexposed shots before cutting a quick lap swim on the beach.
-
Day 77. – Someday Somewhere
Someday I’ll leave Sydney – buy a van and travel a coastline for a year or two. Until then, I’ll stay shooting these NSW beaches. Today Jonny and Ed say goodbye to a good friend of theirs, sending him off with a final surf (.. on the flattest day i’ve seen)
-
Day 76. – Flying High
Getting those high angles on the drone! something new in is the works – stay tuned. Also lightening storm to finish off the day put on a great show.
-
Day 74. – The Race Is On
Squeeze in a training session after work, the day before – Because being prepared is half the battle. Get up and get on a rescue board because it’s time to race. “Do whatever you can to get across the bay before anyone else”. *no photos of the race. v difficult to shoot and paddle.
-
Day 72. – The Morning Off
I tried, I really did. I’ve got the morning off – and going to bed I told myself, sleep-in tomorrow because I’ll need it. But it’s too hard to sleep with the waves crashing on my window at 6am. Surf was pumping and here are a few photos of the morning.
-
Day 70. – The Pretty Beach
Pack the tent and the inflatables swans, meet the crew and don’t forget the speakers. Spending the weekend down at the south coast with kangaroos, possums, mates, swans, stars, sunsets, and sunrises had all. The pool toy swans worked great but the inflatable mattress had issues with holes. No problem, jump in the hammock and watch…
-
Day 69. – Shark Buoy
Heres how my mornings usually go. Sleep -> Sleep. But this morning it was a paddle to the shark buoy. Bringing the GoPro along to see what was waiting for me (spoiler: it was just deep water but the photo’s looked good!).
-
Day 68. – Figure 8 Pools
It was the best day of 2017′ yesterday and Figure 8 Pools was the place to spend it. Packing camera’s, speakers and snorkels – we headed for the spot located along the coastline of the Royal National Park.
-
Day 67. – Bronze on Boards
The first morning in a long time the waves and temperature have been reasonable. Managing to somehow take a few photos riding to/from the club – It’s a big day and this is a good start.
-
Day 65. – A. Monday
I used to think after a wave spilt onto the sand the water would sink down and go underground. It doesn’t FYI, there are no secret underground beaches where crustaceans get pitted in surfing comps.. It simply flows back into the sea.
-
Day 64. – Splash On Sunday
Woke up at stupid AM today – decided instead of rolling back to bed i’d do a sunrise walk around Bondi/Bronte. I’m thinking of upgrading the camera equipment soon – Possibly a drone or underwater housing!?
-
Day 63. – It’s A Secret Spot
..it’s not really. It’s just a great bushwalk into a quiet and secluded beach. With silent sailboats and ripples on the shore, this weekend was a well-needed beach house get away from reality.
-
Day 62. – 32nd Of Sept
It’s going to be 32 degrees today. No wind & no clouds. Kicking the morning off with a surf to the shark nets and back. It’s a big day with big decisions coming up! Can’t wait for this weekend to start.
-
Day 60. – Sky High
Oh shit, I forgot. I left the oven on… I have around 7mins to shoot this and get back to make my enchiladas. Bondi Kite Festival is freaking unreal as thousands make their way to the beach to watch the hundreds of kites.
-
Day 59. – Pools
Back in the country and back to business – Karloo Pools to dodge these cold winds coming through. The pool was too cold for a dip but it’s good to know this place exists – will visit again soon, with an inflatable and several beers.
-
Day 56 – Bondi Bowl
The bowl didn’t stand a chance. This thing is huge, and these kids killed it. story time: finished up my day surfing the rescue board when I see some crazy foreigner has decided to swim to the shark nets at dusk. After paddling the 1km out to this fearless guy and hearing his justification on…
-
Day 55. – Trippin’
I’m coming to pick you up. Just booked a last minute AirBnb down at Jervis Bay and we’re leaving in 10mins. Stopping via Kelly Falls and Cave Beach – this weekend was a cold but good one. 👍🏼
-
Day 54. – Turrets
It’s warm.. too warm.. something isn’t right. This winter is shaping up to be better than Summer. Not a cloud in the sky today – perfect day for a surf and to check out a few old military turrets.
-
Day 49. – Shark Spotted
It’s 13℃. I’m dripping wet. My wetsuit is shotgunned with holes and I cant feel toes. And i’ve never felt better. Also, just when my day couldn’t get any better I meet Ruby the Sharkdog.
-
Day 47. – Jervis Bay
I’m not sure if I’m in the ACT or NSW, either way we performed a hit and run on the most peaceful place in Limbo. Sunsets/sunrises, volleyball and beach caves filled the two days of adventures. Also I found a baby beach Scorpion.
