We’ve just started putting together our Festival Feature Guide, so I thought I’d start it off with something very topical at the moment;
It’s that time of the year again, where surfers all over the globe are glued to their computer screens, or for those in Australia they head to Snapper Rocks – that’s right, it’s the Quiksilver Pro!
Sunset Cooking, Morocco
This time next month I’ll be packing to head back to the sunkissed coast of Southern Morocco – so naturally I’ve been reminiscing about my previous visit a couple years ago by flicking through my pics! This image was shot at the Errant Surf Camp where I was staying and our local host cooked up an epic meal of BBQ fish under the warmth of an evening sunset…what better way to finish a day of beautiful surf?!
My good friend Jimmy sent me a link from my beloved Byron
Bay today – it contained news that made me slightly sad. Byrons top

So as the snow melts outside my house I takes away the last remainders of crimbo with it – a lush time surrounded by family and festive fun, a far cry from Bondi beach last year – but an epic one all the same :)

After muchos disorganization on my part and some reminding on Kez’s part Photo of The Week has returned!

Looks like Dave has joined the team for a while and will be contributing quite a bit – so I decided he should have a running feature, so welcome to the “Dave Diaries”, ramblings from the Packman himself!
This weeks focus is the gem of the west coast – Margaret River.
The surf world is stunned today by the news that 3 x surf world champion Andy Irons has been found dead in his hotel room in Dallas aged 32.

Todays been rather eventful, exciting, tiring and sad in equal measure – and for a mixture of reasons.
I’ll get the surf update out of the way – mainly because my blog is chock a block full of my surf related ramblings and also because I’m sure my brother only reads the intros to my posts….so I’ll get the jealousy in there before he switches off!
