Lines for the brave

As nice and tempting at these three soldiers look, I think this is one of those 'approach with care' situations.

I've never been to this spot (I understand it's somewhere in the Galapagos Islands), but something about the raw ocean power of these waves suggests surfing this spot would not be a walk in the park.

Somewhere in Indo

I've been lucky enough to surf this spot before. It was during both of the two boat trips I've been on in Indo in the early 2000s.

Somehow I stumbled upon this photo on line so i thought I'd share it. Memories...

The surf spot is called Yo Yos

Unexpected treasure

Being summer back here at home, I've strangely found myself fascinated with winter surfing - particularly snow surfing (see also my post from Wednesday 23 January 2013).

My mate Michael sent me this link of a cold water spot in Canada.

Make sure you bring your thickest rubber though...

Tucked away out of the neighbours' view

If you hide away well enough, none of your neighbours will know it's pumping...

Paradise in the Pacific

Dreams can become reality - even if only momentarily.

This photo, from a remote island in the Pacific, reaffirms that it is indeed possible to have a high quality and uncrowded break just outside of your front door - even if only for a holiday.

I'm stuck in an office for most of my days, but I'm still dreaming (and saving) to make this dream happen.

Best of luck with your dreams...

Bumper US winter

A San Deigan (USA) friend of Pam's has reportedly been scoring and enjoying some fantastic winter swells hitting California right now.

This photo of Sunset Cliffs was sent to Pam as it broke during, you guessed it, sunset last night.
