It’s been a while.

I have been absent, I know. What a bloody old mess.
Not sure where to start or what to say.
This is no way of treating you.
The Pinnacle of abandonment.
I do not expect you to still be here.

If you are… l e t  m e  k n o w.

The Happiness Machine

I know it’s been quite on here the last few weeks but I haven’t really felt inspired to get in the water, until today. Tasty waves with good mates all day long… a winter’s day to remember. Johnny Abegg inside the happiness machine.

It’s cold.

But the anticipation of what may lie behind those trees keeps us going.

Waves, at last.

Offshore winds and clean waves have finally returned. I felt nervous this morning… it’s been that long. Main Beach lookout.

Shadow Box Frame

This beauty was ordered by a lady as an anniversary present for her husband to hang in his Byron based design studio. Makes extended desk time a lot more bearable when the surf is pumping. “Mind Surf” print in shadow box frame 1000x667mm.

One Session South

Last weekend, in anticipation of an overdue swell event, we spontaneously decided to leave the safety and somewhat known perimeters of the beaches we call home. Our destination greeted us with tropical and playful conditions. A morning of fun.

Byron Lighting Up

Winterfell

A few months ago, on the 1st of June to be precise, Johnny Abegg, Dustin Hollick and I embarked on a mini mission for White Horses magazine to document the first day of Winter as experienced through our eyes. A gloomy morning away from the crowds that turned into a magical day of fun and laughter.
