Day 12 of self isolation and I can’t wait to get back in the big blue...! • I don’t know whether I’m lucky to be in Oz or if the Aussie government is just reacting super slow to everything and making things worse (I’m presuming it’s the second!) but what I do know is on Thursday I’ll have finished my 14 days of mandatory self isolation! 🙌 • To quote @kellyslater “please give me a rational explanation of why people can’t surf if they keep their distance. I’m open to it if there’s a good argument” • The waves are just a 100m walk from my doorstep at the mo • What do you guys reckon? Would you be getting in the water right now if you could? •
Self isolation... • What crazy days we live in hey? • Day dreaming about the next time I can get into the big blue, REALLY hoping I get out of mandatory self isolation in Oz before they go into a full on lockdown like a lot of the world is doing! • Fingers crossed I get one more dose of vitamin sea before being confined to the house again! • Where’s everyone else in lockdown right now? •
Even when things don’t go quite to plan - smile and try to enjoy the ride! • Everyones lives are going awol at the moment and things have escalated further and quicker than we could all have imagined • But rest assured you can stop by my feed for a dose of ocean, calm, humour and sometimes a little chaos! • Because with all the doom and gloom filling news and social media sometime we just need a break, a smile, a chuckle and an escape • Keep safe! •
Instant karma 🤣 • Firing down the line at Marshmallows on the recent Sri Lankan swell and this logger decides not to look and totally burn me • I was pretty p*ssed about it until I saw this footage and how the wave decided to even the score for me with a savage kook slam! • A brutal lesson in why you should always look towards the peak before committing to a wave! • 📷 by @i_am_pof
The world is in chaos at the moment...so here’s a nice tranquil sunrise to help you chill out for a second, take a deep breath and relax 🙏 • The whole planet is adjusting to what’s going on at the moment and things are changing super fast • From a personal perspective, I’m currently in Sri Lanka (which is imposing heaps of travel restrictions) and now no longer heading to the Maldives or Mentawais • After much discussion with my parents in the UK (my Dad’s a medical professional), I’ve decided to avoid Europe and head to Australia to wait this thing out with my brother by the beach • So at 48 hours noticed I’m packed and about to jump on a flight, with a 14 day mandatory self-isolation period upon landing • Fun times ahead so let me know some awesome movies and tv series I can get stuck into! • Stay safe, look after each other, and take all the necessary precautions ✌️ •
Dodging surfboards is worth it when you nail the shot! • ...and having full faith in the surfing ability of the person flying past a few foot in front of you 🤣 •
Can you pee at your desk? I can 🤣 • I’ve got mixed feelings on being a blogger and creating videos - because as much as I’m fine with being in front of the camera, I also really enjoy being behind it creating too • I think that’s why I’ve enjoyed getting into the surf with my new underwater housing so much, it’s put me firmly back in the creator seat and is putting my photography skills and surf skills to good use! • It’s turned out to be a pretty solid side-hustle too and it makes me happy when people are super stoked with the shots I’ve taken of their surf session! • Thanks for the shot @dirtyjeansandsurfwaxphotos •
My bubbles, my bubbles! 🤣 • ...hoping everyone gets the finding nemo reference! •
Watching, waiting, wishing...🌊 • The ocean is such a good place to disconnect, relax and just soak up some good vibes - whether that’s a swim, surf or scuba dive • And mornings like this in between sets are the perfect moments to just ponder life and a good sunrise 😊 • Agreed? •
