Finally got a couple of good sized south swells roll in this month but you had to have your s#%! together to make use of them! 
Variable winds meant you had to be Johnny on the spot when it went offshore, which involved a lot of waiting and watching! 
But those who waited were truly rewarded with some sizable hollow waves.

Another active month for the local wildlife in the south which sent us packing to the beach about 1 in 2 sessions .  A visit from a lost and angry Leopard seal put the boys on edge for a couple of days but he found his way back to the water and hopefully far far away from the southern coast.

Daylight savings is here and am looking forward to heaps more water time and of course the wedding season! Going to be a hectic one for sure but im looking forward to thrashing the new Sony's and seeing what they can do!
Will spot yas out there!

​Shit tons of ne swell the last few weeks and just down front produced some of the better waves of the winter , a usually shapeless and sleepy beachie transformed into overhead peaky skate park! 
How good is it to surf at home , from the  countless hours as a kid getting beating after beating on a second hand  body board to you're the first green water ride on a glass board  you're mate found under his granddads house, its just fuckin gold eh!

Invested in a higher quality Drone this month so i can make big aerial prints!
I promptly crashed it on its second outing so its having a trip to china to get put back together. Fuck
Managed to snag a couple of  images that i am  stoked on so looking forward to its return .

So here is the pick of them for the month , and roll on daylight savings yewww!
​Later.

Really stoked on this image , i had tried and failed to take this countless times!
​Feels so good when a plan comes together!
