Welcome to my little corner of life on the NSW South Coast of Australia....Surfing, Work and Family, and one beautiful stretch of coastline to share it in!
These two clips were firmed a couple of weeks apart and in between that time we had a massive rain front which finally caused the creek to open at Swan Lake, as you can see in Edge of a Dream!
"either of the two times in the year, the summer solstice and the winter solstice, when the sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky at noon, marked by the longest and shortest days."
Well its winter down under and I was lucky to score one of my favorite reefs to myself on a sunny Sunday afternoon , the wife did not have to work so after a great breakfast I snuck around a few bush tracks and arrived here..... winter solstice from adam williams on Vimeo.
I took both my edge board and mat down and soon found that the mat was the better option to ride the waves that were on hand.
Fast forward a week and the swell was pumping with a offshore wind. I took one look at in the dark , got changed and ran down the track with mat in hand. When I finally got to the keyhole to paddle out it occurred to me that maybe I had the wrong craft to paddle out and with my edge board back at home the mat was the only thing I had to ride, so after a break in the sets , I was able to sneak out on my 4GF Standard. I paddled my arse off and finally made it out the back and was joined by both Paul & Phil on their mats as well, another 2 board riders came out and shared waves for a couple of hours to the wind swung a tad too much side shore and after coming in once already to see where the boys were( Paul had gone back to the van to get changed) and paddled back out again so he could film some drone footage and by then I was totally tanked of energy but caught another couple before getting washed back in !
