Hello Friends,

I’ve been out and about with my trusty Nikon D70s. In this post, I’ll share a few snaps I got at The Kick, Brownwater and Manly. I’ve also created separate posts for some shots I grabbed at the Bower and early on at south Narrabeen.

Rare moment of coverage at the aptly named Brownwater (1350)

Brownwater moment (1350)

sketchy decision on a less than wonderful Kick wave (1350)

One of the great things about being a Dad...

Sizable ones if you could get out to them between North Steyne and Queenscliff. (1320)

Kinda sectiony and the wind into it as well at North Steyne. (1320)

Wandered down to the point for a closer look. One guy was in the water, but it looked like an awful lot of work for big, lumpy and weird waves. Biggest sets were into the double overhead range, but the point really wasn’t working terribly well. And the air was bitterly cold!

Went up to have a look at Brownwater, the Kick and Collaroy. Conditions at all three were pretty fat and slow. Brownwater just looked like a hoax for the chaps out there. Lots of offshore lines coming in, but not one decent section that I saw. The Kick was the pick with offshore sets into the head high plus range. You needed something pretty bouyant to work the relatively slow, spilling waves though. Collaroy wasn’t really doing it. Most waves were sectioning and very fat. An old school mal might be the go… something with a bit of momentum potential…
