Tough morning out and about. Man, that wind is cold! 20 knots of sou-wester stripping the body of warmth rendering my fingers so stiff I couldn't hold the barrel of the lens. A quick glance out the window or the surf cam's was hardly a motivator this morning. But, persistence pays dividends and the longer I stayed the better the guys that had paddled out were making the waves look. I saw some real good ones!

SurfAid have a new initiative called Make A Wave. It's all about commitment and persistence in the name of improving the lives of communities in remote locations that us surfers visit such as the Mentawai Islands. The commitment is simple; surf, swim or paddle everyday this September, get people on board to inspire you and watch the impact ripple across the water. Sign me up!
