road dog diaries

2011-08-21T18:23:00.000+10:00

Ash Grunwald, The Grains and Beau Young lifted the roof off the Hoey Moey pub last night with some high energy stomping beats. The boys have been on tour for the last month coming up the coast after starting the “Road dog diaries” tour in South Australia. Last night the Coffs crew were packed into the Hoey and showed a ton of support for these fine lads. Our video’s got shown on the big screen......CLICK HERE to see and read the whole post

On Friday night (19th august) The Hoey Moey will be screening some of our short surfing films. It’s part of the Ash Grunwald tour called “road dog diaries”. In between sets, local Coffs surfers will be up on the big screen to hoot at. We have full clips of Johnny Craig, Harley Ingleby and Brett Caller (in todays main pic) as well as cameo appearances from Jayke Sharp, Mat Wyborn, Shaun Cansdell and some local surf dogs like Steve “Simmo” Simpson, his brother Greg, Andrew Lindsay, Max Lindsay, Rees Duncan, War....

Tops day to be in the ocean!! clean, crisp waves were glistening in the morning sunlight as the cool start gave way to another warm winters day. Open beaches and northern corners were pulling just enough of this dropping south-east swell to be in the super fun range…. great day for some quality coast time.....click here to see all the pics

The swell from below is back on the pump this morning, after some small east swells over the weekend the energy is now coming straight out of the south and pushing some well over head waves into the south facing beachies. An overcast sky made for a pretty sunrise start to the day but it was a curse for my action shots later on in the morning, still its nice to see some more strong winter lines pushing into the east coast…. yeww!! click here to see the action pics

July had some damn fine waves indeed. A few massive swells from the south, plenty of offshore winds and even a healthy dose of sunshine made for an above average month of surfing. We have rolled a few of our favourite moments into this post to give you a reminder of what went down and to distract you from this current flat spell we are experiencing at the start of August.....click here to see the selection

johnny on innersection!!

2011-08-02T15:59:00.000+10:00

The third round of the worldwide Innersection competition kicked off last night and we have another entry into the mix, this time of Woolgoolga local Johnny Craig. For those who don’t know John he is a surf stoked shack master who has grown up surfing the beaches north of Coffs Harbour. He is hands down one of the best tube riders on the coast and this clip is an absolute barrel fest that shows exactly that. John works 5 days a week tying steel, so our filming was limited to the weekends and the odd day off. He’s going up against kids with $100K sponsorship deals and all the time in the world to surf, and I reckon his section stacks up pretty well against them. Please, please help us by going to the website and joining (its free) and supporting the underdogs by giving it a solid star rating (10 stars would be good) Local lad Harley has already made the cut, lets see if we can get another local into this killer video!!

There’s a fair amount of anticipation surrounding yet another winter south swell that is due to hit later this week, but at the moment we have waves that look more like the fun waves we get around spring and summer time. Just some playful chest high, rippable walls that have the grommies frothing, but still good enough the older dudes to dust off in after a hard days work in the arvo’s.

2011-07-11T09:44:00.000+10:00

The south swell hit big time on Saturday afternoon. A pumping groundswell from way down south made it up to the north coast and lit up some of our beaches and reefs. Clear blue skies and light offshore winds have accompanied this swell for the most part and have left a few smiles on the faces of surfers right the way up the east coast.

There’s a whole lot of anticipation on the east coast this weekend, it’s all hinging on a powerful low pressure system that is spinning off the bottom of Australia. Forecasters are calling it one of the most intense of the year so far. But so far we aren’t receiving too much of it up this way. A wobbly south swell moved in on us yesterday and there were some fun chunks to ride, but that swell faded overnight and we were left with clean.....CLICK HERE to see the post n pics

innersection winners

2011-07-04T11:14:00.002+10:00

So stoked to annonce that our surf clip of Harley Ingleby won a spot in a Taylor Steele film that will be released later this year. This is a massive boost for Harley’s exposure as a free-surfer who rides all sorts of equipment, and it’s a damn good way to kick off our career in surf film making (still working out how far I want to take that) Taking still pics consumes a lot of me already. Either way it’s a dream come true winning such a part!!

Thanks so much to all of you who helped out by getting on the innersection website and showing your support. They also did a short interview with Harley and myself following the announcement of our win…. Click here to read Harley’s interview and Click here to read the short interview they did with me.

You can pretty much bank on the month of May to produce amazing surf on the mid north coast. Consistent offshore winds, clear skies and swells from the east and south all came together nicely in 2011 to live up to its high expectations. We were working heavily on a couple of video projects but still managed to keep our stills camera’s rolling to capture some of the best moments of a month I will remember for a while yet….CLICK HERE to see the best shots from the month

Peeling waist to shoulder high waves improved all day providing a perfect canvas for these longboard shredders to draw some tracks all over this surfing icon. It was a smiles and sunshine for the 3-day event and possibly the most ideal waves they have had for the comp in many years. Below are some of the leftover images that....

I’ve heard that the mid north coast has had some tasty waves while I’ve being away....click here to read and see full post

Another stunning evening draws to a colourful end over Noosa Heads. The setup couldn’t be made better if you drew it yourself. Pointbreak after pointbreak stretching out for kilometers along a tree lined headland which protects the bays from howling southerly and easterly winds. .....click here to see some more shots from yesterday's Noosa sessions

time machine

2011-03-15T11:14:00.000+11:00

Ahhh..another beautiful day in Noosa Heads….. what I would give to be living here 50 years ago. In near darkness this morning I was trotting down the track past in the inner points on the way out to Tea tree bay, through the national park surrounded by paper barks with fresh organic smells it felt like I was in the sixties, that was until the lineup came into site and there were at least 40 surfers sitting off the take off zone. Amazingly you still get a good amount of waves despite the crowds, but every time I come to Noosa I always think how good it would be to have myself a little time machine, so I could surf these waves without the crew.

last night

2011-03-10T10:23:00.000+11:00

The first hour of light each morning is when I spend most of my time behind the lens, but I thought I’d switch it up for today’s post and shoot some crew that get their surfing done at the other end of the day. The after work/school surfer spends the front half of their days going through motions while hoping for an arvo glass off session at their favourite beachie… well last night a few of their daydreams came true… it wasn’t all time but it was a ton of fun, great way to cap off a day at work...CLICK HERE to see all the pics

surprise sess

2011-03-01T09:17:00.000+11:00

Managed to snag a few shots late last night despite how miserable it looked early yesterday. It was a bit of a surprise session really, I wasn’t expecting anything more than ankle biters, as most beaches weren’t even breaking, but this little beachie was turning on some fun knee to waist high peelers for the after work/school brigade. Didn’t fin......CLICK HERE to see all the pics

golden offshores

2011-02-24T10:25:00.000+11:00

Much brighter day on the Coffs coast this morning. The dense cloud gave way to a golden morning of sunshine and waves. The swell size is still in the over-head high range and with that all night offshore breeze the conditions at first light looked pretty tidy. Plenty of crew were crawling through this town beachie and all of em were getting some fun walls, peaks were breaking right up and down this beach. ...click here to see all the pics from today

It’s gonna be a warm one today, it was steaming hot at 7am!! the waves should get better as the day goes on… at the moment the tide is as full as a fat girl’s sock. A 1.9 meter tide is swallowing up any chance of a good looking wave at all but a few beachies, but there is some swell around. I’m tipping some go.....click here to see and read full post

The skies cleared yesterday arvo producing a nice evening and cracking start to today. Waves were fun at places that could handle the big 7.30am high tide. A bright yellow sun backlit the surfers for a good hour before the skies....CLIK HERE to see the rest of todays pics

better days

2011-02-15T10:11:00.000+11:00

Spent the morning organising my favourites from the last few months to update our “hot shots” and “sunrise/sunsets” galleries. I did try and get some photos this morning, I even had my water housing all sealed up and ready to go! but as I faced the ocean, a rain squall coupled with a south-east winds blasted into my face, through the rain and wind I could just make out a stirred up mess with no real defined wave and no one was really surfing anyhow. So it’s not really a surf day folks!….better off getting stuff done, so you can hit it later in the week when the winds and swell quality should improve. While you wait for things to improve check out some days gone by when the conditions are far better than today. click here to get linked up to today's website post

groundwork

2011-02-11T10:28:00.001+11:00

It’s a surf day peeps!! we’ve got a couple of sweet tube shots care of some handy groundwork by John Craig. For most of us, the morning surf check happens at our local beach about 10 minutes after we crawl outta bed, but Johnny’s morning surf check starts the afternoon before. He drives up and down the coast while the arvo onshores are blowing and scopes out all the sandbars and what they are doing on certain tides and makes his call for the next day. He is then up well before light standing on a sand dune seeing if his predictions were right….. I reckon this morning he got it pretty spot on....CLICK HERE to see all the mornings pics

cone of light

2011-02-09T11:48:00.000+11:00

A perfect cone of yellow light shone beneath the increasing cloud this morning and gave me something worth while to point my camera at. The beach I lobbed on to also had a fair bit of talent floating around too. Jayke Sharp, John Craig and Mark Merrikin were all out there shredding the small cleanish waves. The overcast skies have now...click here to see more - read more

southerly kick

2011-02-08T10:03:00.002+11:00

Well that southerly sure kicked things into gear!! from around lunchtime yesterday the Coffs beaches had some overhead high waves hitting the southern corners with a cross/offshore breeze. So nice to see some energy back in the water after our long hot flat spell. All of todays pics were taken late last night as some storm clouds rumbled...CLICK HERE to see all the pics
