November 06 Hawaii

In Hawaii for a few weeks. Average conditions for Hawaii but pretty well pumping for any well else. Lots of good high performance sessions at Rocky Point and Off The Wall.


October 06

Went down the coast to shoot the ASL Board Bible. Over 30 boards tested by Laurie Towner, Chelsea, Kerrzy and Dan Thompson. Amazing how well these guys surf on boards they've never ridden before!


September 06

Over in the Philippines for Surfing World. Really good waves at a few different spots


September 06

Went to Sumatra for the ASL Hot 100 trip. Some good waves but average weather. Shot lots of remote flash stuff.


August 2006

Shot these just off my home beach at Tugun


G Land - July 06

Went to G Land with Lowey for an ASL story. Best Speedies in years they reckon. Shots will be in an upcoming issue.


Mexico - July 06

I was in Mexico for the RipCurl Contest. Some of the best point break waves I've ever seen. Photos will be in the next ASL.


South Africa - June 06

Spent three weeks in South Africa and Mozambique on a trip for the next Surfing World Magazine. Some pretty good waves at some different spots. Should be an interesting spread.


New Caledonia - April 06

Just got back from a few days in New Caledonia with Jarrah Tutton, Ryan Campbell and James Lewis. Scored some really nice waves. Story will be in an upcoming issue of ASL.


Gold Coast Feb/March 06

Been some ok 3 - 4 foot fays at Snapper the last week. Some good barrels behind the rock. Day one of the Quik Pro was held in pretty good 3 foot waves with the occasional barrel


Carolines Feb 06

Didn't get it as hollow as the first time I went. Had a couple of days of good overhead waves and the guys on the trip did some crazy turns. Shots will be in ASL 212


Gallery Showing

Hilton Dawe, myself and a number of varied photographers and artists have a showing of surf related imagery at the MotherArt Gallery in the Arts and Industrial Estate in Byron. It's on until the end of Feb so if you're in the area, have a look.


New Site

Hi There,
Very new to this whole web site business.
Anyone who's been unfortunate enough to be on the Gold Coast for the last month will tell you there hasn't been much surf. A few fun beachies here and there but that's about it. I've been shooting a few small days at Straddie but nothing that's worth posting here.
I'm going to "That Right" in Micronesia in early Feb so the next post should have some good news, fingers crossed.
