This time of the year is pretty special. When the autumn patterns of light offshores and clean little swell lines set it, it makes the ocean look so alluring, even if it's high-tide and straight!

The swell's dropped a notch this morning; it's two, maybe three foot at a stretch. Still, the pro's are slicing whatever comes to them and making it look a million bucks - that turn in the first photo was something special - wow!! I reckon it's so good to see where the pointy end of surfing's at on your home beach.  But, not everyone seems to be rolling out the welcome mat. How was this little interference from the early rounds. Is that guy serious!? Easy pickings for Rinsed and #KookoftheDay and free drop-ins for life!

Surf Travel? 
The world's certainly turned a little crazy of late. Is it the full moon? Uncertainty has always been part of the travel experience, especially on surf trips. We're sticking to the plan for the Maldives Central Atolls in July and we've only got 6 spots still available. You coming? Who knows, maybe we'll score the whole island chain to ourselves! To ease your mind, The Perfect Wave have put in place some special contingency's to alleviate the extra level of uncertainty that's hanging with us right now. Got questions? Let me put you in touch with one of their surf travel experts and they'll explain the deal. Check out Shane Dorian's trip onboard Carpe Vita from last year. Look fun huh! Want to join us - Email me!
