Feels like the night before christmas, soft tunes and muted surf vids.So many waves around today, saw some crazy snapper, dbah pics online and a few waves down southtoo by the looks of it. Yep south it is, cant imagine how many waves there are gonna be with the offshore winds. Started mucking around with a few old Kirra pics, i was spewin not to get too much exposure for that swell so i thought i would put together "The Untold Story". Hope a few crew find some shots of themselves? All the gear is cleaned up and ready to go, i even have the camera in the housing roaring to get the water at  first light tomorrow, Hope i dont wreck it! keep posted as i am sure there will be plenty more to come.

Way too much time on my hands, not exactly the way i thought it would turn out! All i want is to show everything i have but then where is the standard set, everything becomes medioca. Hard to find the energy really, the tunes are helping and i always have that. Hopefully the tables will turn soon and good things will come. I enjoyed putting this little piece together, very amateur and definitely not what I'm used to doing, so many colours of the coast. Its amazing, it feels like every morning its right there for you if you only look!!!

Just always fells like somethings missing? I guess that's what its all about? Fuck another question, when does it end? Hope you all enjoy the piece, give some feedback it helps for sure. SWELLS COMING

Hey guys, Can you believe i hit the snooze button again and went straight back to sleep, the wind was hectic early so how could i even attempt it. A few crew were going on about how good Snapper was yesterday but if i want to shoot peak hour traffic i will stick with the highway.

Worked all day but cant complain, got to watch the sets roll in for the most of the day and OH YEAH i did some work as well.

Had a much around with a short sequence of Matty from Anzac day, A sick little front side 360 to start of with, actually it was the first wave of the day.

Looking at getting some road trips sorted soon so if anyone is keen drop me a line and lets do it, starting to go a bit stir crazy at home as it seems the dogs vocabulary is extremely limited.

WOKE up for the early at 6am today, the call was shit and dont bother.....Ahhhhhh back to bed, now were talking. Cant stop watching the forecast, the word at one stage was that the swell might not be as big as they first thought. Bullshit, its on the way, I could feel the sets rumbling under my feet in the office around lunch so i went and checked it, cant complain having your office 50 meters from the sand. The swell was up around 3 ft, maybe some 4 footers on the sets but it was that mushy you didnt look twice. It had some power for sure, hopefully if the swell period keeps gaining it will be all time early next week.

Caught up with an old mate Jordan tonight who whipped up a few sick ideas for a new logo, check out what he comes up with in an hour, actually quite a destracting hour at that.

So stoked on the design and looking forward to getting some more work online asap.

Onto it first thing tomorrow for sure, no more snoooooze!!!

Hope everyone scored some waves somewhere today.....YEEEEEEWWWW!!!

WOW, my first blog, ahahahaha i find it hard enough to find words when posting on facebook so god knows why i would think anyone would want to read this, well i quess we will find out.

Pretty stoked today after finally geting some solid exposure for Matty.

Coastalwatch ran a sick shot we got yesterday after the dawn service, not that we went.

Traffic was pretty insane down sth with school holidays and Blues fest on in byron, thought we were chasing some solid waves but ended up with clean small ramps.....cant complain.

Cant believe i survived another road trip with Matty, fuck were gonna die one day i swear. Just kidding buddy.

Some insane waves on the radar for next week so hopefully we can score and get some consistancy for once.

So whats next, do i keep writing or wait for the next chapter? YEH, thats properly the best bet as it usually doesnt take long for shit to happen, lol but really shoot me!!!

Hope you enjoy the pic and i promise there will be plenty more to come, hopefully some video too.
