I witnessed a shark attack
(RTW 09/10) During my 3months on the East Coast I took a Whitsundays sailing trip. I lived on a boat for a couple of days, slept on the deck, back-flipped off the back and swam and snorkeled in warm, beautiful water over stunning reef. This was some of the best snorkeling I’ve ever done. Apart from encounters with Elvis (Maori Wrasse) I swam with heaps of fish and spotted a White Tipped Reef...

thats swell.
I took these photos at the Quik Pro in Coolangatta, Australia in March this year. I put them up in memory of ‘surf’ because we havn’t had any in two weeks. boo! but I’m not going to rant about it too much because I’m taking my board on a (4month) holiday soon. In the meantime i would very much like some surf in Cornwall. please.

The Leap →
indefensible:
It’s no longer unusual to see couples who met while they each lived in countries far apart from one another. International travel, the internet, combined with a growing wanderlust in culture have all made such romances all but inevitable.

I remember this day, a few of us went to Eumundi markets then headed to Noosa national park to surf at tea tree. I only got one wave that day but it was one of the best waves I’ve ever had, a nice long right.
