It’s always good to head over to the beach (even when it’s overcast) to watch some of the action. There is always something going whether it be on the land or sea. We quite like these, some fun, some falls and a bit of chasie on the waves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A beautiful morning was Saturday. The sun was out (finally after all the rain) and so were the crew. The nice weather and decent waves brought the masses to the beaches up and down the Gold Coast for the weekend. We travelled from Duranbah to Burleigh Saturday morning and collected these shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wonder if we will have a day like yesterday?

It poured down over night, then poured again this morning. All forecasts called for rain for the rest of the week but as it turned out we were suprised by the weather change. Clear blue skies giving welcome relief from the foul weather and brightening up the day for many. Hope you were able to enjoy it, and fingers crossed it stays clear for a little while longer.

Below are some shots of Duranbah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overcast. Rain.

Looks like we have a few more days of this kind of weather (and some wind too). The sun should come out (maybe) by the end of the week to give us a few more days of warm weather before autumn really does start to kick in. Good to see some decent waves though, and if you are out early should be clean.

There is still lots of debris around the waterways, with sticks and logs all over the rocks at Burleigh Point and along the canals and waterways, so be careful when out on the water cause they hurt when you hit them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Tuck in” can mean a few different things, for example:-

– tuck in, to put to bed and make snug

– thrust the loose ends or sides of (something) into a confining space tuck the blankets in

– tuck in to dinner, and others.

Here we have a classic case of ‘tucking in’ to a barrel, the smallest barrel of the day by the looks of it too, but still trying for all money to get a piece of it. In the end it was a good job, he rode the wave until it fizzled out on him and finished off with some nice moves.

There are some other moves below, taken at Duranbah

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Morning Sun, photographed by millions, immortilised in song, admired by all.

The power of the sun gives us life, it gives our planet warmth and provides light and energy for all of us. Here we have the Sun peeking over the light house at Byron Bay.

The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass. Solar energy is created deep within the core of the Sun. It is here that the temperature (15,000,000° C; 27,000,000° F) and pressure (340 billion times Earth’s air pressure at sea level) is so intense that nuclear reactions take place. This reaction causes four protons or hydrogen nuclei to fuse together to form one alpha particle or helium nucleus. The alpha particle is about .7 percent less massive than the four protons. The difference in mass is expelled as energy and is carried to the surface of the Sun, through a process known as convection, where it is released as light and heat. Energy generated in the Sun’s core takes a million years to reach its surface. Every second 700 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium ashes. In the process 5 million tons of pure energy is released;

Wow!…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was nice to see some sunshine around the coast today (sick of the rain now), but look how green the grass has become. Headed to Burleigh around 10 ish and not much in the way of a surf, quite small, but water was inviting and not much wind.

Couple of fellas pulled up for a late breaky consisting of Coco pops on the point, what a way to start the morning!

Looks like some more sunshine coming our way over the next few days (lets hope so).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Gravity, according to the dictionary,  is the force of attraction that moves or tends to move bodies towards the centre of a celestial body, such as the earth or moon. It takes a phenominal amount of power to break this attraction.

Sir Isaac Newton described gravity as the mutual attraction between any two bodies in the universe. He developed an equation describing an instantaneous gravitational effect that any two objects, no matter how far apart or how small, exert on each other. These effects diminish as the distance between the objects gets larger and as the masses of the objects get smaller.

No matter what all that jargon above means, this is one awesome air, pushing gravity to the limits….Snapped at Duranbah early Jan.
