'Photos' and 'Videos' tabs are launching soon

Cuttie in Your Face is evolving (hopefully for the best)!

Over the next few months I'll be phasing out the tabs (and labels) called:
- Online photos
- Reader photos
- Online clips
- Reader clips.
You can already see these in the orange bar across the top of this blog.

These will be substituted for the tabs (and labels):
- Photos
- Videos.
You can also already see these in the orange bar across the top of this blog.

I feel a consolidation of these tabs will make the blog easier to read and follow as, where possible, I'm a fan of simplicity.

Why will this take a few months? Unfortunately there is a fair bit of work to be done behind the scenes. I will have to go through the archives and re-label all 380 posts or so. Just to name one task in this process...

Thanks for your patience and support.

Surf trip starting off pear-shaped

Well, my trip to Yorkes with my dad is looking to turn out like my last one - the worst ever!

South westerly winds look like they are going to buffet us for the four days we'll be here.

We've just rocked up and there's nothing for me to surf.

I've attached a photo of Spits - the only place that can handle this wind. Don't be fooled by the photo though - I had to wait a while to take it. In reality it was a long time between sets and the waves were pretty fat after the takeoff.

Booooo.

Here's hoping

I'm heading off on a surf trip today.

To share with you my dreams, hopes and expectations for the trip, I thought picture would be the best medium.

So here's what I'm going to score:

Your Ed pig-dogging

Tomorrow, I'm heading off to Innes National Park with Dad for a short, four day holiday.

It's the venue of many special surf trips for me.

So before heading off on this short trip, I thought I'd share with you a kooky clip of me trying to pig-dog myself into a small left hand barrel there just under 12 months ago.

I had many similar waves at this spot on this day, but unfortunately I couldn't get deep enough into many of them. So, no tubes for me...

Special and worth sharing

Finally, I score visiting home

I'm typically used to getting very unlucky when I go home to visit with on-shore winds or small swell.

Finally, on a visit back home, I got some pretty good waves at South Australia's Waitpinga Beach.

Me and my friend Gav found a fun sand bank with a medium sized swell.

Good times.

Julian Wilson ripping up Trestles

Ladies' favourite, Julian Wilson, is certainly a dynamic surfer. With his technical bag of tricks, he kind of reminds me of, in snowboarding terms, a 'jib kid'.

A definition of 'jib'

Anyway, back to surfing:

I found a clip of Julian ripping up California's famous Trestles.

I think the clip's impressive and well worth a watch.

Get amongst it!
