Too big to only post once...

Last weeks swell was massive for July and hence too good to only post on once. So here's the a few more shots. Unknown lining up and closing out...

A well forecasted big long period swell brings everyone out. Its Circus Time!

The Beast Awakens...

East the beast awakened yesterday with a 20ft swell @ 13 secs. Not bad for July!

Sprung! John of the top.

Good crowd out but still plenty of emptys...

Confessions of a small wave surfer?

Was a heck of a lot bigger than expected

Hooking it up...

Not quite on the same scale as the previous nights surf

Shaun looking on...

Looking at the charts I couldn't get a certain somewhere out of my head yesterday so the Abomb and I jumped in the wagon and go have a look see. Couldn't believe the size of the swell and the amount of guys out when we got got there though. As watched and took a few snaps my excitement turned to unease. Watching those waves and the guys on them I felt completely out of my depth. That the boards on top of the car were just were for effect, that perhaps confessions of a surfer should maybe be confessions of a supposed/small wave/inadequate surfer... Eventually we left feeling dejected and looked for something abit more manageable and fortunately we scored and surfed for another few hours again this morning. It was far from the pictures above but it felt good and brought a smile to our faces and not to sound cliched but is that not what its about...

Whatever the story confessions of a surfer remains and hopefully before too long I'll grow myself a pair and surf some waves I can currently only dream about.

Looking Good...

Early at the causeway

Some big sets rolling through again today

North Coast beach break

Pretty sure it was Stuarty dropping into a few this morn

Keeping warm
Hide and Seek
Up close and in colour

Had to leave a mate round to work at the causeway first thing before getting the car to MOT. Managed to get a few shots on the journey back from town and was stoked to see Stuarty out braving the cold. East looked like a lotta fun today. Definitely felt I was on the wrong side of the lens. The BBC were setting up with a camera just as i was leaving aswell. Not a bad day for a couple of vids!

Congratulations to Pedro. Declared fit enough to suffer another year on the road.

Swell by day. Snow by night...

Some size again today

Race this...

Up close and personal

Pulled back

And as night fell so did the snow

Singlefin Snowboard

Todays been awesome. Had to leave the car into the mechanics first thing was forced to keep her local. Swell was bigger and better than yesterday so I went behind the lends for a couple of hours instead and had a blast capturing the clear skies and offshores. Especially when it was followed by a wee dusting of snow before sitting down to fajitas and a couple of cool beers. Swell doesn't look like dropping much below 20ft over the next few days either. Madness!

A Wet Weekend...

Bit wild this afternoon

Heading into the soup

Waiting for the rewards

Couple of Corners

Hit the road for a wee tour

A few sets were peeling from way out

The bro and his lady. Maybe not such a good day for the causeway...

Heard rumours of a few windows from the weather over the past couple of days. Went for a wee explore this afternoon. Some serious weather and a few serious waves too. Looks like Rosy found a few gems too and while your clicking check out the Mo from Simo post over at Grass is Greener.

Looks like there could be a chance of some epic conditions midweek... Stoked!

Caught off guard...

Big, clean, bright and offshore

Thumping

Sepia toned loving...

Pulling in

Before Dark

.

Kinda got caught out by todays swell. Was back with the folks and family at the weekend and didn't really get looking at the charts. Turned out today was a cracker. Pulled into the local to see waves stacking up half a mile out. Didn't have a board or even the SLR with me so i was forced to spectate with the point and shoot. Tomorrows supposed to be even bigger with better light and howling offshores...yasssss!
