south

Drove south yesterday to catch up with some mates and shoot some more of this beautiful autumn weather and swell that we been getting. Another sparkling blue day with some head high waves were on offer all day.

good times

The ST Images bus headed south last weekend with the Valla surfboard team. Sage Joske, Brett Caller and Jack Lynch all stashed their weird and wonderful quivers into the back of two vans and off we went down the pacific highway.

Our destination was to be a long pebbly lined point break, as we rounded the bend into the car park a 5 wave set peeled flawlessly for 150 meters, the boys were amped!

The easterly swell from yesterday was still with us and the wind was non-existent.

Brett was straight out there on his finless Alaia, while Sage and Jack opted for their four fin fishes.

Much board swapping and changeovers went on throughout the morning sessions. Sage’s new Vector was a popular choice in the shoulder high waves and when the tide filled in the longer heavier logs were dragged out for some critical sliding along the summery walls.

Spent yesterday morning photographing and watching Sage Joske at work in his Valla factory. He was working on his newly created Vector boards, he had four of these puppies on the go yesterday, this one at the shaping stage while the other 3 were getting glassed with some sweet resin tints.

surf looks better today, wind has gone south and there were some fun two footers punching on to our beachies, get out there before it goes north-east again..... water temp gone cold again.

board dreams

Sage Joske ; flying fish

Sage is better know for the amazing lines he draws on the face of the wave, but this morning he got all flighty and took to the air a couple of times.

Got a chance to ride that board on the right today. Its called the Valla "VECTOR" and it is so much fun. This is one of Sage's newest creations and I reckon its a total winner. It was a brand new feeling of surfing and I will go to sleep tonight dreaming of the few rides I got this arvo.
