East coast Taj Mahal

The Taj was the best option for a late morning paddle. Once again, beautiful skies, clear blue water and the lack of a crowd made for a fun surf. Dave, Dan and Zef made the most of the swell on a fast bank, Evie and Nicky had a good time on shore and even Sheena found a friend to run round in circles with!

Sparkly Jinshan

Tiny half footers greeted Simon and Dave at Jinshan and soon the Robinson clan joined the fun. What a stellar day, though! It was great to get in some (quite!) refreshing water and feel the sun...restorative. Nicky and Dan show some style. Also check out the slide show here.

Scientists find waves are getting bigger

Sion Milosky dies at Mavericks

Noted big wave professional surfer, Sion Milosky died at Mavericks today after a two wave hold-down where his board tombstoned not allowing him to escape the second wave crashing down. (picture above NOT of this day, but of Sion's most notable achievement, where he caught the biggest ever paddle in wave at Outer Logs last year)
