pyne-o! clean!

Shaun Pyne had a good honest crack at the top spot at this years pumping Shark Island Challenge. He was on fire through both rounds and the final, but lost out by the narrowest of margins in the end to Mitch Rawlins... Here's his wave o the day from the wash through filled day before the comp... Big ups!

out there!

When you check the surf and can't decide whether to paddle out or not...

Then this wave comes through... 

"WE'RE OUT THERE!"

A trip out to Cape Solander during the 2016 Shark Island Challenge waiting period brought back a flood of fond memories recently. Chasing and shooting waves out near Kurnell at Fear and De Niros back in the day... It's a crazy place to watch the ocean when there's a solid swell running... Big ups for a rad day in and out the ocean Jase!

2230 airways...

I spent a lot of my late teens and early twentys hanging out in the 2230, surfing, filming, drinking and partying... Some of the best times and peeps of my life... It's funny how certain places and people align themselves with one another and Cronulla and Margaret River certainly had something going on... 

I always love flying above places I'm familiar with on the ground, but flying south from Sydney is really something special... The coast looks like it's jaggedly cut straight out of the sea, there's the history of Botany Bay, and to see Shark Island breaking from the air never ceases to spark the imagination...

Big love to all my 2230 brethren!
