One fine winter’s morning – surfing in KZN

KZN Surfing_001

It is always a gamble waking up early and heading down the coast to find some perfect waves but some days you win while others you try to forget.  I spent a few hours the night before trying to decide and eventually made a decision to just go.  I got up at 4:20am(actually woke up at 3:30am but couldn't go back to sleep in case I missed my alarm) sneaked through to the lounge … [Read more...]

The winter waves of KZN

KZN Surfing_001

It's taken ages but the consistent land breezes that blow in the mornings in KZN during winter are finally here.  If I walk out the house in the morning and feel a cool, fresh breeze on my face then my surfing brain automatically kicks in and I can just imagine perfect lines rolling in on the coast, it's not always the case but the mind can play funny tricks.  The toughest … [Read more...]

The Unlimited Dusi 2013

1

When I asked Mike if I could come along to photograph the 2013 Dusi Canoe marathon, I expected a few rapids, an occasional over-turned boat and some tired, sun-beaten faces. However, what I encountered was much more extreme and left me deeply impressed with everybody who even attempts to conquer this race. The Dusi runs from Pietermaritzburg to Durban over the course of three … [Read more...]

Surfing in Durban

Davey Weare taking to the skies, doe she have a pilot license for going so high?

I don't often get around to taking surfing pictures. On those ideal, perfectly-weathered days I prefer being in the water more often than taking photos from the sides! However on Saturday I got the chance to shoot in great conditions and of some awesome candidates. Here are the pics.   … [Read more...]

Irina Comes To Town

One of my favorite shots from the swell!!

Durban has seen some big surf this past week, the biggest being 4,7m waves. Wade and myself took this opportunity to capture the Cyclone from various different spots around Durban's beachfront. I can now say I have satisfied my need to shoot some decent size waves! … [Read more...]

Funso Sunday

An empty nugget rolls through at Wedge

I thank God for days like these. The day dawned with the Queen Mary II steaming in over an hour early under a sultry sky. Then the sky lit up and the waves started pushing in. It's unfortunate that this bliss was interrupted  by a double drowning at North Beach before the lifeguards came on duty. The sea remained unsettled as the tide pushed in but as soon as the tide turned … [Read more...]
