I just recently moved from the high rise Ive been living in to a classic little place opposite the beach. One of the great things about that is when the conditions are right, I can just grab my housing and walk out the front door in my wetsuit and shoot a few … pretty cool These are some of the little beach breaks out the front yesterday 20th June...

You can see Diverse shapes at their showroom at Tugun on the Gold Coast highway or check out Dave’s site...

Carol gets pretty excited when she sees any...

Bali is one of my favourite places in the world… The people are friendly, climate is great, it’s cheap to live and the waves are some of the best in the world. This trip put me up to around 20 visits since 1980. And at 2 weeks the shortest trip Ive ever made there. Bali is one of the most culturally rich experiences for the traveler and a dream for Photographers. As you can tell by this short post I love the place and am already planning my next trip there. The...
