To early ? To Late?

2010-10-18T22:10:00.005+11:00

These clips are definitely to late for the film, but are they to early for the next project? Ryan Callinan, Craig Anderson

Ups Downs and Arounds

2010-09-09T17:11:00.004+10:00

There has been a bit of drama in the stable over the last week. A hard drive crash bringing the most tears. But just when the job seemed too big Mitch Coleborn steps in and sticks this crazy varial. We push forward.

Ollie

2010-09-03T12:55:00.004+10:00

Looking over a few old clips I came across this wave of Thom Pringle. After realising he was about to skin good mate Chippa Wilson, he simply pops an ollie right over him and continues on his way to the air bowl down the line.

Raw

2010-09-01T07:57:00.002+10:00

I have been a fan of Matt Wilkinsons surfing for a while. Raw, stylish and tech. Three attributes demonstrated at once in this full rotation air reverse.

Warmer Times

2010-08-24T09:12:00.004+10:00

It's been a quiet few days. Here are a few frames Nick shot of Dion Agius in warmer times.

Undercover

2010-08-20T21:20:00.005+10:00

Dino Adrian. Making it.

Less Than

2010-08-16T13:03:00.003+10:00

Jake Sylvester. The kid knows how to stomp an air reverse. Weekend arvo sesh.

Moose on the Loose

2010-08-13T19:15:00.004+10:00

Para. Kickin' it 'round his old stomping ground.

Empty Rights

2010-08-12T18:07:00.008+10:00

A last minute decision to head south yesterday arvo was a good call by Spencer.

Weekend Fun

2010-08-08T18:03:00.003+10:00

There have been a few waves about this weekend. Sam Page and Luke Cheadle gettin' tricky.

Black Books

2010-08-04T22:09:00.005+10:00

Craig Anderson. Wednesday afternoon. Craig seems to find the bowls and ramps.

Krypton

2010-08-01T07:55:00.003+10:00

Ryan Callinan. Just add a cape.

Inside Out

2010-07-23T20:09:00.002+10:00

From the inside out with Sandy Ryan.

Smile

2010-07-19T18:05:00.004+10:00

Spreading the good vibes in and out of the water. Mitch Colbourne and his happy board spray.

The Morning After

2010-07-18T12:25:00.002+10:00

James doesn't mind the early mornings either. Sweet little air to reverse.

LAGO

2010-07-17T20:09:00.003+10:00

James Hollmer-Cross. Enjoying the late afternoon glass off.

Winter

2010-07-16T15:41:00.003+10:00

Brett Burcher. East coast winter perfection.

Grabs

2010-07-12T07:36:00.002+10:00

I was blown away when Nick showed me these clips of Michael Spencer from Saturday. I couldn't believe how powerful the reverse was; how much spray was thrown yet how smooth it was. Solid grab on it too.

Just Ace

2010-07-10T12:32:00.006+10:00

Hard off the bottom. Hard off the top. Adrian 'Ace' Buchan knows how to use his rails. Indo dream left.

Roll the Dice

2010-07-07T19:44:00.007+10:00

Picking the right wave at any heavy slab is always the difference between pleasure and pain. Marty had a bit of bad luck at the beginning of this day. But, like always, Para finished off with a few solid kegs.

Square

2010-06-30T21:19:00.005+10:00

It has been a quiet week 'round our parts for waves. This frame is from a month ago. East coast slab.

Searching

2010-06-27T17:31:00.002+10:00

Seek and ye shall find.

The Price is Right

2010-06-25T14:15:00.003+10:00

Aaron Price. Higher.

Getting Tricky

2010-06-22T10:19:00.005+10:00

Ryan Callinan has an impressive range of tricks that compliment his superb style and flow. His part in the vid just got stronger after a very fruitful Sunday session filmed by Nick. The kid can punt...

Just Cruising

2010-06-19T12:10:00.009+10:00

Hamish Renwick. Relaxing Saturday morning at his local.

For the Fans

2010-06-15T13:23:00.004+10:00

When Jordy Simth paddled out at this Indo beachie last week the local kids went crazy. Hooting, whooping and giggling as they watched him surf. Jordy didn't let the fans down.

All Boxed Up

2010-06-12T16:32:00.003+10:00

Mick Fanning. Way out west.

Wedge World

2010-06-11T14:56:00.005+10:00

When Thom Pringle paddled out this day I expected him to go and surf the a left up the beach like everyone else. This was not the case. Thom had his eye on a shorey down the beach picking up some side-wash from the left. The result, perfect ramps.

Wizard of Oz

2010-06-09T19:53:00.003+10:00

Ozzie Wright was lovin his time in Indo. He was never hard to spot in the line up with his rainbow board and shirt to match. I've never seen a man surf so well in denim shorts.

Craig Anderson

2010-06-04T22:19:00.006+10:00

While I spent all weekend chasing waves and filming on the South Coast, right at my doorstep was a reeling left hander. Monday morning soul, Craig Anderson. ND

Bagus

2010-05-29T13:57:00.006+10:00

Indo has always been a favourite surf destination for me (and probably every other surfer on the planet). I've got a ticket booked for tomorrow and looks like a solid swell will be arriving soon after! Bagus! Here is a framie of Rizal Tanjung Nick shot last summer.

Sea Change

2010-05-28T19:10:00.002+10:00

I spent the week just gone interstate. Not really chasing a swell in particular but a weeklong offshore breeze. Knowing it would be good all day there was no rushing around in the mornings. This suited Marti Paradisis just fine. Late arvo oop.

Cold Snap

2010-05-22T18:52:00.005+10:00

Tyler Holmer Cross stands at a whopping 6.5ft. Doesn't stop him throwing the tail but. The maximum temperature at this East Coast beachie was 11 today. Time for the booties and hood!

Road Trip

2010-05-20T10:55:00.002+10:00

Few more framies Nick shot last weekend. The boys hit the road and scored in a big way. Sam Page looking comfortable under and over the lip.

Big O

2010-05-18T20:56:00.006+10:00

Owen Write...looks even smoother in motion

Gambling

2010-05-11T19:56:00.008+10:00

Ryan Call put in a good 4hr session on Sunday. Pressing record was like playing a pokie machine. From the keepers I can say the odds were good...ND

Experimenting

2010-05-08T13:40:00.003+10:00

Nick and I have been experimenting with a few new camera angles of late. After seeing some photographers mount their cameras on poles we decided to try it with the video camera. Hamish Renwick turns.

Exploration

2010-05-05T21:41:00.003+10:00

Who knows how many more gems this coastline holds?

Switch

2010-05-01T18:17:00.002+10:00

A lot was said about Damian 'Dom' Wills when he body-surfed a large southern slab last year. A lot less has been said about the time he showed up and surfed it switch. Wherever he is, whichever way he is standing, the man shreds.

Vision

2010-04-27T19:42:00.002+10:00

The view that has triggered many a mission. Happy mind surfing.

Spooky

2010-04-25T07:56:00.002+10:00

The sky is dim. The first morning rays are just creeping over the horizon. The waves are solid four foot, but there is a long wait between sets. Sitting in the deep water off the edge of the reef, I bob up and down with my housing, waiting patiently for a surfer to see a lump worth riding. My mind starts to wander. I can't help but think of what could be below.

Left Out

2010-04-21T17:56:00.001+10:00

Would you want to be on the end of this leash?

Alone

2010-04-18T20:33:00.001+10:00

Kelly Slater. One man and a lot of ocean.

Shred Sled

2010-03-28T12:45:00.004+11:00

Martin Paradisis snapped the fin out of his 'big' board early this day. Not wanting to miss out on the fun Marty chose to ride his back up 5.8 Shred Sled for the rest of the session. Maybe not the ideal board for the conditions but it didn’t slow him down a bit.

Keeper

2010-03-06T15:45:00.005+11:00

Just one frame from the best sequence on the hard drive so far...

Juggy

2010-03-01T16:12:00.003+11:00

Despite collecting footage of Jughead from three different locations, I am yet to capture him making a wave. This is no stab at the guy, more testimony to the mutant caves he craves. I've never seen a man get so flogged and come up smiling. Go Juggy!

Cross Eyed

Shelly

As the sun peeps over the horizon two early birds make their way into the big blue...a nice way to start a day.

Runamuck

2010-01-31T10:46:00.000+11:00

Wade Goodall. It's surprising how well the guy surfs big, cold waves given his Sunshine Coast background.

Remarkable

2010-01-26T16:03:00.001+11:00

Surfing this spot in the afternoon can be a bit chilly, as the huge cliff behind it casts a shadow over the whole bay. Luckily this day it was also producing some fun little wedges. Hamish Renwick (top) and Ethan Wilson made the most of it.

White Stripes

2010-01-22T17:57:00.000+11:00

Thom Pringle oozes style in and out of the water. On this trip his DIY zebra designed wetty complimented the DIY zebra graphics on his board perfectly. We didn't score any quality waves but that didn't stop Thom flaring - the guy's got an impressive bag of tricks...

Tails Up

2010-01-03T11:20:00.000+11:00

The day before this clip was shot, Chippa Wilson was surfing a peak just up the beach from this. He takes off on a wedgy left, pumps once and launches into the air, spinning in a forward motion. Midway throught the first rotation he grabs both rails, switches the board around and continues to rotate another three hundred and sixty degrees. What do you call that? A 540 varial shuv-it? An ally-oop passion pop? Whatever it's called you will be amazed to view it in motion. As for this air to reverse, tails up!

You Snooze You Lose

2009-12-27T07:45:00.000+11:00

Was worth getting up at 4am this day

First Frames

2009-12-24T13:24:00.000+11:00

Every journey begins with a single step, as every surf movie begins with a single wave. In October this year I pointed my camera out to sea for the first time. Ethan Wilson takes off on a mushy right, milks a little turn as he waits for the wave to hit the inside bank, races down the line and throws up this air to reverse. Nailed. With the first keeper in the bag I know the journey has begun.
