Fashion should be fun and with my photography I love to create those fun moments.

And Another Big South Swell in July 2020
10 days after previous big swell, we are hot with another one. PS. Even though I post this in 2021, these photos are from 2020. At the time, it felt in appropriate to post these during the pandemic
big set rolling in
one of the better smaller ones
big guns are out
Damo out on his gun
lining up
then out the back for the next one
bottom turn
North Av, trying to line up
looking across both Avalon beach and Newport beach at Newport reef bombie
Damo, still waiting
South Wester getting stronger
big waves pushing in
still waiting
Damo on another one

looks like that wind is too strong and blew him off again
the beach is getting a beating as well, lot of sand taken out
waiting again
sets rolling in
lot of lip
one way out the back
the few that are out there, caught out by bomb set

again, that wind getting the better of him
bombs out the back again, and that wind still getting stronger
maybe he'll get this one

waiting again, and jeez, that wind would be bitterly cold by now
here we go, he'll get this
looking good
ready to take off
taking o.....
nope, caught in the lip with that wind again
scraping
here we go
up and riding
woauw, hard to tell, but steep take off
bit of a vertical drop
oh,no , lands, but catches an edge
and falls off, must be that wind froze him too much
oh no, no way, his new board, snapped from that fall
hardest thing, paddling in on half a board, you can see the other half in the left of the photo
check out kiddies corner to see if that wind is a bit calmer here
