Mite be time to drag out the 5/4 steamer for a few months ! No shortage of waves over the month , but certainly not to many visitors down this way riding them. The last weekend of July provided the pick of the waves for the month and there was no shortage of punters , plenty of good barrel rides going down despite being pelted by sleet and rain! The skies have been pretty epic lately to so have been out hammering the landscape buzz. Till nek month! Later Prints and canvas are available just shoot me a message.

Later Where the F$#@ is winter? Has been a record high for the half year and I'm not complaining! But I am weirdly missing the cold south westerly flow that brings snow , sleet and pumping waves to our piece of coast.! Still June produced its fair share of waves and I managed to be on the spot for a few of them , so here's the latest from the southern coast. Later  Rights were the pick this day.  Has been some killer sunrises this month , and the water is still not bad ! Love a good mission! Even when it doesn't go totally to plan!  Raw Some commercial work for The Point Café & Bar in Kaka Point right on the beach, epic spot for a beer , a feed or to watch the footy! Get down there !! Link to there face book page is below.

See You Swell swell swell !! Winter arrived in a hell of hurry this month mind you bout time! The south was flooded with swells one after another but sporadic winds made it hard to be in the right place at the right time. Probably surfed a bit more than I photographed this month which is a constant dilemma . Here's a couple from May , long weekend coming up and looks like a bit of swell to so mite see you out somewhere..... Later  Plenty of water time this month ,so stoked about it!   Dried out long enough to jam with the boys and grab a couple of frames of them Grudge Money a 3 piece cover band , playing a wide variety of beats as long as its loud its good!! Drums - Brendon Jury Guitar and vocals - Quinton Teraki Bass - Myself  Gordy found some cover.  A gem rolls through untainted  Jordan Kudla from the states , him and a few of his mates are studying in dunners but getting plenty of playtime down this way.  Swim  Cold to colder  Morning shape  Jared in Black and white  Colour  Jordan with the last say this month ....Chur
Unseasonably good weather and plenty of swell was the theme of April , and whilst work ended any chance I had of shooting Papas when it roared to life I did manage to snag a bunch of other waves and shots. The end of April marked the end of my wedding season freeing up more time to hunt waves and find light , cheers to all the couples and wedding parties I have meet and hung out with for the day ! Whilst the good weather continues (which I'm grateful for) I am hanging out for the crisp winter swells , screaming southerly's and small crowds ! So here is a selection from the month hope it keeps you stoked! Later Prints and canvas are available  April bomb no fools.  Semi hunting an early morning pit  Peep show  Jono Pascoe in negation's with a long wall Ami and Richard married in Queenstown at Treelawn place  Tom focused  Steph and Geordie married in Balclutha  A few hundread seconds at the lighthouse  The morning view I will never get sick of
The Colac Bay classic was on again so a mission into southland was on! One of the friendliest and well run contests to be involved with , we were greeted with clean couple of foot swell in the morning with the wind wrecking havoc by late arvo. You can find the results here https://www.facebook.com/www.southlandboardridersclub.co.nz/ The end of daylight savings and summer brings mixed emotions , on one hand the cold shorter days can be frustrating but on the other big sw swells and offshore winds help me get over it! Later  Justin on a bomb Colac Bay Classic  Cracker morning for the first heat of the day  Smoothed water at home  Good times.  Bad times  Jared all smiles  Morning blasting  Some killer skys lately  Check  Last light last wave
February was hot! Awesome to see big yellow out in force this month , even the water temp is off its head! Plenty on this month , Farm jam was a killer event to shoot and was enjoyed by a solid crowd. The cyclone fizzed down here but I hear the north coast had a few good days. A couple of solid south swells was our best offering this month so here's the pick of it. Later  Elliot Brown up and out there Can not say enough good things about Farm Jam !!  Chin up mate its pumping!!  Look the other way  Opportunity Corey Clements  Blurred lines Justin Anderson  Elliot Brown Hacking  Set
