Gift of the Ether


Out of the Ether they come, Rising from the deep. Carry me to the space where I may glide upon the ocean, to rise and love this moment, this gift so brief, so sweet, this metaphor for life.

Dave and I surfed bells, on a day when all roads led to stay in Melbourne. But sometimes a part of you whispers and you listen. They are times when I am glad I do. In a Decade where we have seen fire rage across the land, rain fall in biblical proportions earthquakes and tsunami's, as our brothers and sisters die in the thousands it is sometimes hard to understand this world yet it is so important to appreciate this blink of life.

The Weekend
















well the swell didn't live up to expectaion on Saturday, but it didn't matter the day was so beautiful and we had some fun chest high waves so all was well.
Ro, Benny and I surfed williamsons which is on the way to Wonthaggi, about 20 minutes past Philip Island, as you can see from the pics it was a beautiful day.
Sunday we got some adrenaline pumping after a bit of where do we go? and a phone call from the Island warning of 6ft plus closeouts and a predicted building swell we headed west and surfed some pretty sweet head high sets at Bells Beach. Another beautiful morning, with purple hues at sunrise and beams of light, igniting the fringes of the clouds, God I Love the morning!
There was a big crowd out but pretty friendly.

Monday was the dawn of a new board :-)
