Surfing Australia in conjuction with Justin Holland put together a 2 day Sup Surf Clinic...
I'm currently on day 1 and it has been a great experience. The knowledge provided by the guys at Surfing Australia and Justin is great! We surfed for nearlly 2 hours and would have every wave on video... the critiquing was great and you walked away with wanting to learn so much more....
Hopefully day 2 will be better surf, as today was onlt 1 -2 feet... but we tried hard with what we had on offer!!

Surf season has begun...with a BANG!
Winter is here!!!! Like most parts of the world....winter brings the best conditions here! Its offshore almost all day and pumping south swells from the Tasman Sea come up the coast with fresh sw/se winds. This year we have already had 2 big low pressure systems creating 10-12ft sets... It was way to big for me!!!
I was lucky to get out between the 2 swells with a few other sup surfers Jackson Close, Geoff Breen, and the Dogman out at the Alley. 2-3ft only a handful of guys out... The waves weren't perfect but they were offshore and peeling 100m+ down the bank...
Once the big swells settled down, the points at Lennox Head were firing. We were so lucky to have a near perfect 3ft surf with less than 5 people out... This was an arvo session I wont forget in a while... Perfect lines at Lennox with no one... After a few hours I was placed on filming duty as you can see!

Hawaii 2012
Ahhhh hawaii!
This pic is of my good friend Suzie Cooney and I taking off on a Maliko run....
I flew into Maui back in May this year to be greeted with epic downwind conditions... 35-40 mph with ocean swell! It was amazing.... long glides and fast!
I had flown to Maui to compete in the 4th Annual Olu Kai race. The week leading up to the race was amazing with some of the best downwind sup conditions I have ever seen!
Race day was hard, no wind and no swell - but I was still happy to place 1st in the 14ft 30-39 division for the 2nd year in a row!
I highly recommend this race to anyone who likes downwind paddling!!! Maui is such a special place to me, and all the Maui crew have made it such a special place for me :)
