Final Waves and Epic Farewells

My last two days in Byron Bay have been as good as I could have hoped for. For starters the swell has served up some of the tastiest waves I’ve had for months. The last week has been pumping.

Surfing, Unemployment and Planning

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!

Sunset Session, Byron Bay

The above shot is courtesy of Mr Griffiths, a shot of my knee paddling my longboard out during a sunset session at The Pass in Byron Bay. It was towards the end of summer, when you could stay in the water until 9pm in nothing but boardies, definitely living the Australian dream and a nice little wave too :)

A Swell Time

After a few weeks of – quite frankly – p*ss poor surf, Byron has once again come alive with the arrival of a new swell.

The Byron Beach Guide

So I’ve been in Byron for a while now – and I’m getting to know it pretty intimately, so I thought I’d share my knowledge and bosh out this beach guide for you.

Its mainly from a surfer perspective but it also breaks down the various beaches and sub beaches Byron has to offer.

Unknown Surfer, The Pass – Byron Bay.

Shot in the water at The Pass a few weeks ago – low tide and some dredging barrels; I have the scars on my knee to prove it when I got dragged over the rocks!  This little dude was tearing it up – tucking into some mini tubes and owning the place. He loved the camera too, the above is the result of him sending some spray my way!

mmm…swell

So finally the true face of Byron has begun to show and the swell has started to roll in.

This makes me muchos happy as I’d just got back in the swing of surfing everyday on the way up…!

Couple of days break was kind of needed though…I’m well out of practice!

But I wasn’t going to turn down any swell that came through!
