TUESDAY

It turns out that I know have tuesdays off college. With this, I now have a three in seven chance of scoring waves during the week without skipping college. Last week turned out in my favor for getting waves while not missing too much college.

Little Empty

Unlike the rest of the week I actually got to sleep in on Tuesday morning. We were waiting till the afternoon to get in the water so I did absolutely nothing for the morning. It was awesome. Just about after one Ollie collected me from my house and we got going, first making a few quick stops for boards, extra camera equipment and an extra camera man, then onto rainy grey waves.

Tom on a sick one

We rocked up to find a load of people already on the reef so we didn't waste much time waiting to see a set. When we got down to the wave I quickly threw my camera into the housing and jumped into my wettie. I was running towards the wave when I realized that I had timed my entry horrendously bad, a quick sprint back to safty and one set later I was in the water.

Little heavy one

Hugo pulling in

100 barrels later I had another fun experience trying this time to get out of the water. Getting caught in the rip twice before finally getting out. On land I did a bit of video for a while. Unfortunately towards the end of the session Hugo took a bad fall hurting his leg, keeping him out of the water over the weekend. I also found out the next day after I left that Alec got caught inside by a set and snapped his board. Apparently it also took him three tries to get in.

Stupid rip!!

Grey, cold and awesome

Its been going off for the last few days. Between starting back to college and moving into a new place I managed to get back home and shoot abit, managed to catch a couple of waves too. Will post the photos of the weekend up in the next few days.

Under world

Its awesome underwater, lots of crazy stuff to look at. Normally when I shoot in the water if I sit really deep I just get nailed constantly and run out of energy really quick. But this day about two weeks ago I was having so much fun swimming under waves. Didn't actually get a shot to really sum up how much fun I was having under water but found these two shots I like.

Slow down

Swimming

I was home bored about three weeks ago and decided I would go for a swim before it got dark. I bumped into my mate nick on the way who was also going into the water, then another mate, then another. By the end of it my casual swim turned into a bit of a party in the middle of the bay. It was awesome.

Woody got bored of swimming so started flying. How can you get bored of swimming?

Before nick flipped the kayak over he told me that he wasnt too sure if he could flip it back over with out the paddle so if it seemed like he has been underwater for a while go get the paddle. fast.

The flipping paddle.

Waiting

Ollie and myself waiting for a set.

WIPEOUT-part 1

Surfing magazine do a page every month called , wipeout, and it shows exactly that, the months heaviest wipeout. Last Monday I say I must have taken about fifty photos of guys getting thrown from the lip and couldn't stop thinking of surfing magazines wipeout section so decided to make my own. So for the first issue of Jimbo's wipeout section I am proud to announce:

Pete not exactly making the drop but doing exactly what you should do on this crazy shallow slab, go head first.

Ollie taking off a bit late-he got pounded!! Would have been a sick wave to make do.

No idea who this is but I think its a sick fall. He looked like he was about to stick the drop but the nose seemed to dig and he got thrown. Also pounded.

This was another late drop pretty much less then a minute after Ollies, im guessing he also got pounded!

Been Busy

Been extremely busy shooting the last week the waves and the light has been amazing. Will have the photos up in the next day or two.

Bit too much spray hitting the camera but really like the shot.
