So yeah what are we doing working when we’re meant to be on holidays, in Byron Bay today? Well, it’s simple really. We were just trawling through the archives of the site and noticed how many really good sessions there were for barrels in the bay last year. Now I got a thing for shooting barrels, in fact anyone who’s known me long enough would remember that I was once fanatical about hunting down tubes. Of course that was before I got old and crusty with joints that refuse to work, but I digress. I had to make the change from looking at them from the inside. To digging every excruciatingly beautiful moment from the outside, I’m fussy about barrels. I like to see people set them up properly, I like to see good timing, stalls where appropriate, and length of time inside. In fact I dig it so much that it makes me feel like screaming in frustration when I see a good barrel wasted for a lame off the top instead. But hey that’s just me. So I thought I’d share some of the moments that put a big smile on my face while shooting them in the bay. Not all of them were that big or that perfect. But every one of these was well timed and gave me just as much stoke as those getting slotted, because I always pull in mentally with them while shooting, In Byron Bay Today.
