PICS BY DON: Sth Narrabeen, Thr evening 29/9
Posted on September 30th, 2011 in Don's surfin' pics, Magic Days, Top stories.
After shooting solid conditions at North Narrabeen, I got on me bike and raced down for a look at the south end of the beach before the light went away. As you’ll see when you watch the highlights gallery on this page, it was extremely photogenic and board-snappingly ferocious. As per usual all pics are available for purchase. Just click on anything of interest and the look top left for the price options.

PICS by Don: Dee Why point 18 May 2011
Posted on May 19th, 2011 in Dee Why, Don's surfin' pics, Magic Days, Top stories.
Wednesday morning saw nearly four metres of 14 sec south swell slam into Sydney. Not too many places were holding the size, so I spent most of the morning waiting for people to take off on waves at Dee Why point. Click the picture below to go to the gallery…
PICS: Mona Vale, Wed arvo pumping
Posted on March 24th, 2011 in Don's surfin' pics, Magic Days, Mona Vale, Top stories.After shooting Manly in the morning, I decided to check out Mona Vale in the afternoon. It was well populated (but so was everywhere with a wave) and the shooting conditions were perfect – front lit, offshore and two metres of 10 sec east swell doing its thing. I found myself a nice spot and started blazing away. In the end I came back with more than 250 shots. If you were in the water and you caught a wave, it’s highly likely you’re in that lot someplace(s)!
If you don’t know the drill, it’s simple as: just click on any pic you want to see at a larger size and then look top left for the link to the choice of sizes/prices.
And here’s another shot from the gallery…
Holiday, In Byron Bay Today.
Posted on August 12th, 2010 in Byron, Local Colour, Magic Days.
Those of you, who’ve been with us since the beginning, and the many joining us along the way, would be aware we’ve been shooting and updating now since the 1st of December 2008 in Byron Bay today. Like good old obsessive Byronians we’ve kept on working, come rain hail or shine, hell or high water. But the time has come, everyone needs a rest occasionally, and we’re no exception. So Yoko is off to visit her mum for a week, and I’m going to laze around the bay, have a few slides, drink too much coffee and make old man noises at the passersby just for entertainment value for the next week and a bit. We’d both like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your amazing support and spreading the news of our site. We’ve had over 16 million hits from 480,000 visitors to this website in the 19 months since we first went live. Yeah we had a hard time believing too. It’s a kind of humbling and rewarding experience to get up and go to work, knowing that our efforts puts smiles on the dials of many folks every day. So we hope that you guys enjoy this special extra large update of in Byron Bay today. These are your favourite photos since we went live. These are the shots that you guys clicked on the most. Now, all things being equal under Huey, we’ll be back shooting and updating live again from Sunday the 22nd August 2010 until then thanks again for being a much valued part of, In Byron Bay Today.
Great Days: 15 April 2009
Posted on January 3rd, 2010 in Magic Days, Top stories.
It was unbelievably consistent and good – all day. Crowd was big before 0900, backed off a little toward lunch, then picked up again for the late. I reckon that at any given point during the day, there were 150-200 people in the water from south of Mactier St to Northy. But the waves were just pouring through, so I don’t think too many went home waveless.
Wednesday 15 April was definitely one of the best days seen on the northern beaches in 2009. Fortunately I was able to get out and about with a camera to document some of the action.
