Reef Hawaiian Pro: Day 3

Haleiwa did a fair impression of Trestles yesterday during the Reef Hawaiian Pro. As the surf bogged to a measly 2-3 feet, above the lip flair was the only way to score and progress.

The Reef Hawaiian Pro: Day One

Big waves, clutch performances, throw in a Clash of the Legends heat (where one legend didn't even catch a wave!), and there's little this sports writer has to do whilst covering the Reef Hawaiian Pro

HIC Pro Sunset: Finals Day

It's been a wet and mouldy early season out on the North Shore, the rain has been both heavy and persistent. It continued through much of the HIC Pro, turning the water chocolate brown at times.

The Maldives: Best of 2013

The southern Indian Ocean storm track is easing and with it all the waves that depend on its seasonal burst. With the season over it's high time to check on the highlights from the Maldives.

Waitpinga, Master Illusionist

Alex Cleland

I was given the opportunity to take my travels, photography and films to another creative level with my friends in the Banyak Islands on their new surf charter vessel, Pulse, as the on-board photographer. I returned a fortnight ago after eight months straight on the boat. Here is a small showcase highlighting the imagery of the Banyaks.

First stop

Y'seen the photos we posted of Mick and Kelly and Dane tearing up Cloudbreak? They were taken on Wednesday during a burst of long range south swell at the South Pacific reef. Before it travelled north however, that same swell hit the shores of Tasmania.
