August is swollen…

August is swollen with swells.  Seems like everyday we’ve had waves.  Sure there’s also wind, a marine layer and cold water at times, but it’s still been surf-able.  Here’s a nice sunny session at 54th with Chippa Wilson, Duddy Hien, Little D, Mike Pringle, Kyle Kennelly and even Toby from Cabo felt compelled to launch one. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top:... Read More

It was super fat so we ended up surfing the closeout inside the bay.Tasmania has insects.Chippa gets all grasshopperish.Chippa... Read More

We also had Matthew O’brien shooting photos and his Tasmanian friends, Shaun and Zak showing us around.Trying to see over the... Read More
