2025 - Issue 1 - Summer
Welcome to the 'somewhat' delayed Summer Issue, even though the last few weeks feels like we have skipped Autumn and have landed in Winter.
Maybe I over exaggerated, there definately been a few warmer days and it not quite at beanie weather just yet. Casting my mind back there were some excellent mornings in the water, the momentum at the end of last year carried through to January. Recently though it's been a case of velcro pillow on the days when I have had an opportunity in my work schedule.
I'm hopeful that I'll be floating around again soon
A beautiful start to the morning, in the first week of February 2025. Monique enjoying the sunrise between sets.

A little trip to Manly's south corner, Freshie was un-surfable. There was a solid crew enjoying the swell wrapping into Manly.

I've been really enjoying the B&W photo's recently. Stripping out all of the colour and just paying attention to the composition and contrasting shapes.

Postcards from Freshwaters take on Curl Curl, just something different and away from the bubble
There were also some postcard days from Manly, the ever-so photogenic 'The Espy" didn't disappoint.
Another escapade outside of the Freshie bubble.
