Noosa Heads sunrise

Posted in News

Ive been lucky enough to hang out in Noosa Heads for the last week and I’ll be here for another week Its almost 35 years since the last time I spent any time here. A lot of things have certainly changed. Sunshine beach … where I saw some of the best beach breaks Ive ever seen in 1978 ! … is now full on suburbia and Hastings street (the main st of Noosa Heads that runs along the beachfront ) is a cool and groovy place to sit and sip Lattes . The beach is...

Graham King foam master

Posted in Legends and Characters, News

Recently on a trip back to my old home town of Cronulla I dropped by the Graham King factory on the Pacific highway, Kirrawee in the Sutherland Shire. Back in my early teenage years in the seventies at the very same address I purchased all the materials to have a go at making my own surfboard from scratch for the first time … and then went back for the second time and third and …. Walking in I wasn’t surprised to see Graham working in the factory …...

When Im travelling I dont just photograph surfing
I also shoot video, landscapes and pretty much whatever presents itself to me on a day to day basis.

Sunset in Candi Dasa, Bali

Posted in Indonesia, News

I noticed these small waves splashing up in the sunset glow as I was walking past
So I rushed and got my water housing and these are a few of the resulting images
Bali was christened long ago “The island of The Gods” and I think the spectacular sunrises and sunsets may have something to do with that

Living on the beach

Diverse Surfboards

I just noticed on Twitter that Feral Dave (Dave Veral) of Diverse surfboards on the Gold Coast Australia is laid up in a hospital in Singapore after test riding one of his custom Flowrider boards. These shots are from a few weeks ago when Dave was building the flowrider boards. Dave produces a wide range of surfcraft that come from his factory at Tweed Heads.

Diverse Surfboards Photo shoot at Fingal Head

Posted in Gold Coast, News

Cruised down to Fingal Head last week with Feral Dave and a few of his riders. We tried Letitia spit near the sand pumping jetty but the peaks were shifting around so much it was no good for shooting from the water. So we decided to look for something else. We found a nice little bank in front of the Surf Club at Fingal, it was pretty small but the water temperature was great and crystal clear. I got a few nice shots of some tiny tubes as well as a few of the boys…...

More Humpback Whale photos from the Gold Coast

Posted in News, WHALES

Its been another beautiful week of weather, here on the Gold Coast. Its a pity I had to spend most of it in front of the computer working. On Monday I managed to get some time out to go out on the ‘Whale Watcher’ a local Charter boat in Tweed Heads. There was plenty of whale action and even a very new calf … that was possibly only a few days old. Here’s a few of the best shots from the day. You can see more of the photos from the day by clicking...

I first heard about Migaloo from Tony and Carol Hunt of Aquatic Blue Charters, a Whale Watching charter boat based in the Tweed Heads / Coolangatta area. they had actually come in contact with this amazing animal when they were working out of Port Macquarie in 2005. Carol gets pretty excited when she sees any...
