Pat, The Wreck

This photo is one of the images I shot late last week at The Wreck in Byron (as blogged here). It’s actually one of the first shots of the session!
Pat dropped in on an early set, grabbed the rail and spent pretty much the whole wave deep In the barrel and heading straight towards me – meaning I got a sick sequence and a new profile pic for his Facebook page!
An awesome session, with awesome friends, in an awesome backdrop :)

Sunset Session at The Wreck

After over 2 weeks of being out of the water I’m finally back surfing. I warmed up in the small swell at the start of this week on my birthday, but nothing too major. Then today a lush swell hit, so I went in all guns blazing and loaded with the GoPro camera. It was international surfing day after all! 6 hours in the water, 3 different beaches and surf breaks and a big smile on my face! This image was shot at The Wreck (where I bust my face up!) just before sunset…big and hollow!

Empty Perfection, The Wreck – Byron Bay

After a morning coffee this week I noticed the swell lines were firing into Byron Bay, so I waxed up my board and got stuck in. As the tide turned it started hollowing out and people were tucking in left right and centre. As soon as I’d had my fill I grabbed the camera and started shooting – there were only about 3 people braving The Wreck – but they were on top form. This is one of the few empty waves which rolled through, it’s the best I’ve seen The Wreck since I arrived. STOKED.

Sunday Sessions

Well today was pretty freaking epic.

After last nights party carnage I started the day with a pretty significant hangover!
A good brew at the Beach Hotel brought that under slight control though!

As I watched the waves at The Wreck roll in I decided to bite the bullet and go for a session…lets face it that first duck dive will either make or break your hangover!
