Jimmy Lewis – Stand Up Paddle Demo Day Cronulla
I love demo days – you get to try out a whole bunch of boards from one brand. Boards you’d never probably even consider, but take out just for the hell of it, and sometimes those are the boards that you end up liking the best. To me every board has a certain way you [...]

A few More
A few more shots of yesterday’s early session at Maroubra. I loved the Nikon AW100 camera. I was only taking photos for less than 5 minutes and it out performed my expectations. I didn’t even have time to play with the settings. I simply changed it to underwater mode and out I went. These [...]

Early Morning Bliss
I’ve got to hand it to surf photographers. I don’t know how they can stand there and take photos when the waves are pumping. The plan for this morning was to catch a few waves before work, then grab the camera and shoot from the water with my new Nikon AW100, but the waves [...]

Scored
Scored some filth waves today down the coast. Every time I paddled out I would watch the backlit lips freight train toward me wishing I had a camera out in the lineup. They’ll just have to be mind snaps and memories. Got some insane barrels and the vibe in the water was funny to say [...]

Should Shark “Cage Diving” be Banned?
The practice of “chumming” the water to attract sharks so we humans can go cage diving and see the predators in their own domain might actually be putting our lives at risk closer to shore. Chumming is the practice of luring animals, usually fish or sharks, by throwing a mix of blended fish parts and [...]

Mind Surf Point
This clip is as annoying as it is entertaining, proving that mind surfing and actually surfing the wave are 2 vastly different beasts. Mind surf these waves and you will get 20 seconds pits running down the point, but these boys just can’t seem to get into them or make the drop. The last wave [...]

Tow in Surfing – Sessions and memories
I’d always thought that Tow in surfing would be fun, but I really wasn’t prepared for just how many waves you get when you have the place to yourself. Now this session happened back in 2007 down the coast at a spot we nicknamed “Towers”. Again my partner in crime was Tone (Doggy) who lives [...]

Get your surfing photographed
All surfers should have their surfing professionally photographed at least once.

That’s why it is great that you can hire [...]
