nice texture in those first two shots , Chris !
…were they at your local ?
ben
thanks chip.
Na actually i dont have a local per say. Because i live in a waveless craphole lol actually its very nice except for the lack of waves. This besah is about an hour north est so its about as close as local is for me. The only time i get to surf is when itravel atleast an hour in either north, north east or west direstion.
…and , at the OTHER end of the spectrum , a shorebreak …
thanks to a mate , steve , for these latest …
cheers

…and , as a contrast …
small , shallow suburban SUMMER …er…“waves” ??
Tribute to waves, the waves I got a few weeks ago, the waves I hadn’t had for a long time up to then.
Worth the wait…yes.
The wait…too long.
...anyone else got some wave shots to post , please ?
just to remind me what they look like , ELSEWHERE in the world , and in WINTER !
cheers !

We love waves.... Big waves, small waves, long waves short waves.... This thread is a tribute to waves.... No need a surfer on them.... Waves are awesome enough!!! "
...I always LOVED this thread , and Blane's photos !
these are only tiny 'wavelets' , compared to the huuuge stuff HE charges ... but waves ARE beautiful , and we are very VERY fortunate to have them ...what a GIFT ! May we never take them for granted ....
cheers !

today , after the rainy [and onshore squalls] first week of our spring [southern hemisphere here] resembling / making up for the winter we never really had ...
...finally , a sunny , all-day offshore day !
the water temperature is cooler now than it was a month ago , but a 27 degree day [about 80 degrees plus , on the old dinosaur scale] is forecast for sunday ....yeehaa !
photos by brother simon...
the difference the lighting at midday [and no wind] makes , plus the clarity of the HD 'GoPro'...
Of course , "microwaves" are not just found in kitchens !
These ones I prefer , [to look at] ....
...and .... if I was 'TinyTC' , then I could surf them , eh ?!
[ maybe they need to update the 'mad wax' movie , to include a shrinking surfer potion ? ]
cheers !
