Saturday At Cathederal Rock

Roh, Tom and myself arrived at Bells Saturday Morning to see a solid 6ft set roll in, with no one at Centre side we decided that it would be worth the trip to Cathederal Rock. When we arrived there, it was about 4ft with some good waves peeling wide and no-one taking them, as most were sitting inside and further out. So out we went my Surf was some what interesting with a few bungled take offs that once again brought me down to earth, but I did manage a few metres at speed, which left me only wanting more!

Pic-Rohan taking it easy.

Tuesday at Point Impossible

Yesterday I looked at the surf forecast for today and thought if I start work at 5.45am I can leave at 2.15pm and be in Torquay by 4pm which would give me about 2hrs of surfing and I would be back in Melbourne between 8 and 10pm depending on whether or not I ate there.

So after making the decision and setting my alarm, I got to bed early. I was still undecided as to where to surf this morning since today was a beautiful winters day with 4ft+ and offshore wind all day and with high tide around 4.30 reducing the choices of breaks that were working well, I was certain that it would be busy.

When a friend suggested Point Impossible, a reef that I haven't surfed for about 8 months I was not sure I wanted to go there since I had always struggled to get waves on my old mini-mal but I decided to try again since I have improved a bit since then, not to mention it is an amazing place being a marine wildlife reserve.

As I paddled out the sky was dancing with the ocean in a way that turned one to the other and back again, a kind of metamorphosis that only happens in certain light and times of day. A dance that was interrupted only by the breaking of waves, rising monolithic walls, translucent in the evening sunlight. I was so glad I made the trip.

Still smiling :-)

Woolamai

I just got back from Woolamai, Philip Island. Today was cold, the water a chilly 11.5C and a strong offshore wind.

Yet we managed to have a lot of fun on the Bank Roh and I surfed, 2-3ft sets coming through with the odd one or two peeling nicely into the beach.

The Weekend

It was a Beautiful weekend with sunshine and offshore winds. Saturday Rohan and I surfed at Guvo's Near Angelsea and then on Sunday Rohan, Tom, Leroy and I Surfed Bells, it was about 3ft and slightly cross shore but we got some great waves.

Ford Design Art Show

Yesterday Ford Design Australia kicked off its annual Junior Diabetes Research Foundation Fund raising Art Auction.

The Exhibition featured an interesting variety of media including 3D collages, Framed Origame, Original photo's, Pottery, Digital Art, Textile Design, prints on Canvas and Original were just some of the pieces for sale.

This event offers the Designers a great opporunity to express their talents and skills outside of the studio environment and provides a forum for creativity that otherwise would not exsist.

Enjoy
