Morning! Nice to be back home and even better to time it with the sunshine. We've been up the coast camping offgrid, offline and mostly with the tools tucked away out of sight. It's a nice quiet time to be out of town between school and public holidays, long stretches of beachs and bush with hardly anyone about. But, I'm back on the tool now and it's going to be a high-paced end to the year. The 2024 Sprout Daily Calendar is in production (pre-sales opening this week), Christmas print orders are already ramping up among other projects. 

While I was away I heard about the four hours last Tuesday when the swell jumped from 4 to 10ft and Manly was looking like Puerto Escondido... that must have been pretty amazing. Bummer I missed it. Today it's looking mellow; just a lazy leftover nor'east wind swell, but the rain's departed and wind's are light. 

There's a few events of note in the coming weeks, a little something for everyone. Click through for the details:

• Shapers Stories hosted by Freshwater Longboard Club

• Patagonia's Protect Australia's Oceans for Good event at Harbord Hotel
