Dreaming of the Maldives 😍 • I was meant to head back to these stunning island this year but a week before I was due to fly this whole COVID thing scrapped all my plans 😫 • Fingers crossed I can head back there soon for some tropical vibes and waves! • Head over to the blog and check out my full guide to Thulusdhoo Island - one of the best Maldives local islands for surfing! • What cancelled trip are you most gutted about this year?! •
Two of my favourite things combined! • I love surfing and I love sharks, but I have to admit combining the two isn’t a great idea 😂 • After a dead sperm whale washed up on a beach in NSW it attracted a whole heap of sharks - including this beautiful Great White • Spending a morning filming these amazing creatures was pretty epic, they’re pretty mesmerising to watch • As a surfer I’m very aware of the presence of sharks (especially in Oz) and I know whenever I paddle out I’m effectively in their home. • And whilst the risk of being “attacked” is pretty small there are certainly a few things you can do to minimise the risk even more. Avoiding solo sessions, super early morning surfs and being aware of bait balls are all good practices. • And I say “attacked” - because most times the media label it as a shark attack it’s merely a case of mistaken identity. Let’s face it if a shark that big really want to attack and eat you, you’d be lunch. • A shark bite or nibble is their way of figuring out what something is, but unfortunately their teeth are razor sharp and we’re quite squishy, which tends not to end well on our part • People kill more than 11,400 sharks an hour (yes, an hour, that wasn’t a typo!) yet we demonise them as the killer • Sure they can be deadly, but we must learn to respect them and their role in the eco system • There are much better (and more effective) ways to live alongside them safely than shark nets, drumlines and culls. • Let’s hope governments start to listen and leave archaic, useless practices behind so we can live alongside this graceful creatures •
Where are you missing right now? • With travel at a near standstill and everyone having been stuck in one place for quite a while I’m sure you’re all daydreaming of adventures! • Where’s the one place in the world you want to head back to ASAP? • ...maybe The Pass in Byron Bay where I took this shot?! • NOW AVAILABLE AS A PRINT VIA @wearesrf
Goodbye winter, hello spring! • Yup I’ve survived my first full winter in nearly 10 year! • Granted it has been in Australia and things have been far from wintery...although I did end up buying a jumper and some shoes 😱 • Who else is excited for a change of seasons - are you gearing up for sunshine or snow in your part of the world? •
Hands up who needs a holiday! 🙌 • Well how about some sun, sea, sand and surf? • A good slice of salt water therapy is ideal after a tough few months of lockdowns and social distancing - so whether you want to learn to surf or need an epic surf trip nows the time to start planning! 🌏 • Head over to @stokedsurfadventures for heaps of awesome surf camps, trips and instructor courses all over the globe • ...I’ll see you in the lineup! 😜
Are you a sunset or sunrise fan? 🔥 • As much as I love a good sunrise I’m hardly ever up that early (unless the surf is pumping!) so I’m sunsets all the way • And a sunset like this in the ocean is hard to beat! • This shot is now available as a print too - just hit the link in my bio 🤙 •
How have you been escaping from the reality lately?! • Whether it’s waves, a walk or monging out with Netflix a bit of downtime is certainly needed these days hey? • Hope you’re all good wherever you are in the world and soak up this slice of East Coast perfection to take a few minutes out! •
The locals cruising through... • I never get tired of watching dolphins - whether it’s from the beach or when they randomly pop up in the lineup when I’m surfing! • They always look like they’re having heaps of fun, loving life! •
