Day 45. – The Last Patrol
For me, the final signal that summer is well and truely over is the last Bondi patrol. This morning included a beach race and a ride on the IRB (inflatable ducky). With smiles all round the weather hit 27℃ and great swell conditions followed. The end of seasons is next week but from tomorrow i’ll…

Day 41 – Rain
Sideways rain, messy swell and large rips made for an interesting training session this morning. Add this to a pitch black 6.10am start made for an interesting morning. I’ve been waiting for a good day to shoot black and white. With not much activity on the beach from the storm today was the time to…

Day 40. – Training
Back out on the water today for a crunching training session. Good life choice to finish early and solo paddle out to the shark nets for sunrise [Note To Self: Bring GoPro]. Once again – the Bondi traffic was chaos but luckily the cars are cool. Like these two snapped below:

Day 38. – Mountain Sounds Festival
It’s my birthday month, to celebrate we headed across to the rain soaked Mountain Sounds Festival. Luckily, the show goes on even when surrounded by lightning, buckling wind and sideways rain. I wanted to focus on the festival goers.. Mostly because I couldn’t get close enough to shoot the bands. Below are the moments that a large storm…

Day 35. – Savage
This weekend coming is going to be more savage than a Turnbull v. Shorten rant. With 39℃ and 41℃ expected on Sat/Sun, I figured this Friday morning would be the calmest it could be. Recapping this week we also saw Trumfs travel ban lifted, which is a ray of sunlight on what seems like amateur hour in the…

Day 34. – Rough Seas
Getting out of bed was extra hard this morning only to be rewarded with 20laps in a washing machine. But Bronte was full of big waves, bright characters and seeing the sun came as a surprise – she’s been tucked under a blanket of clouds for the last few days. Reflections Big Splash laps w/lads…

Day 33. – Rescue
Hi team Today was back to back busy. Kicking of at 7am to train the new Bronzie group. Followed up with lunch and a board around the bay. and a Sneaky pub session to finish off the day. I managed to snap a close up of Lifesaver 21 at Bronte after a reasonable size rescue going down…

Day 32. FOMO
Today is Laneway music festival. Instead of going to that I have work from 11am. FOMO Sucks but to escape it I hit the beach at 7am to swim with the fish. Weis bar Ripples Prepped Baitfish Racing Backwards Fenced and bent He’s thinking about going to Laneway

Day 31. – Night pool
Overcast and bland – I had through it would be hard to capture any colour or emotion today. Instead of the AM session I usually shoot, this afternoon became a sunset laps session. A new addition is the Bronte pool night light which means late night swims are now possible. c-old Rats with wings Dancing Colours…

Day 30. – Burning Bliss
It was a sauna last night and one hungry mosquito wasn’t holding back. So guess who didn’t sleep – me (along with most of Sydney). 6am kick off at Bondi – training today involved ~4km of board paddling with the team. It’s a monster hot day, stay shady friends.

Day 29. – Sunset skatepark
Recharging my social batteries at Maroubra. Fired up Kent after work and sped down for a solo skatepark/beach session.

Day 28. – Busy
I need to move fast. Today is already getting out of hand and with a huge day at the agency scheduled, Tuesday is already leaving me behind. Missing the 6am board training at Bondi, I instead jumped in Kent (🚙) and fired off down to the overcrowded pools at Bronte. With slow swimmers and collisions…

Day 27. – Little Nippers
Kicked of induction training for the next set of Bronze medallions.This is a solid 2 month course for these guys and somehow, someone decided it would be a good idea for me to help. This morning was empty. If you discount the bajillions of little nippers running around. Lil’ Nip Queue Lines and Laps 1st…

Day 26. – Thirty One
We can all agree, Summer in Sydney is made better with friends. All week I’ve been holding out for an event. It’s a birthday for Audrey and she knows how to throw a picnic. What makes a secret spot much better? sharing it with close friends like Neens, Tev, Tim and Robin. Thirty One Float Balls…

Day 24. – Bondi training
Board training means a 5.30am wake up and a rush to find wetsuits and car keys. GoPro was still flat so after the session I popped a couple of dollars in for pay parking and cracked out a few snaps. At $7.70 and hour I managed to fire these off in 10mins. Horizons Sydney Best…

Day 23. – Patrol

Day 22. – The Spot
Planning this adventure a week in advance it’s no wonder I’ve been so distracted at work, I couldn’t stop thinking about leaping off this waterfall. Not pictured here but the ocean water was crystal clear today in the Royal Nasho. Highly recommend heading out that way. Words cannot describe ..A picture probably could. Note to self:…

Day 21.
Cloudy and cold morning. Popped out a few laps and snapped a few snaps this morning. I had expected a disaster zone from last night as a huge 100+ member family BBQ fired on into the night – but I only found one smashed bottle. Good job team.
