new zealand

After the Noosa festival, and the Australia trip in general, we flew over to New Zealand while we were still on that side of the globe.

The trip to NZ wasn't really a work trip, although I took a ton of photos that I think I'll be able to do something with. It wasn't really a surf trip, but I got a lot of great waves. Basically it was just a vacation at the end of a year abroad, but it was one of the best places I've ever been, if not the best.

Anyway, I'm scanning a bunch of the photos now. Along with the digital photos I shot, and plenty of images that haven't been shown from Australia, I have a lot I can put up here.

I'll do it a little bit at a time.

I'll start with just one.

This fall I'm moving to Oregon. I've never been there, but I imagine parts of it look like this...and I like that.

noosa festival action

I was looking through my action photos from the Noosa Longboard Festival, trying to choose which ones to put on here. I was trying to narrow it down to 10 or 15, and was struggling.

So, instead, I'll split the photos into a few categories and spread them out over the next couple or few days.

I'll start with shorter boards. In my opinion, the waves during the festival week were more suited to shorter boards, although there was some amazing longboarding happening anyway. A timed barrel contest probably would have been better than a timed noseriding event, this year, though.

No matter which boards were ridden, the common factor was speed. The waves were fast, so if you didn't go fast also, you didn't have a chance of making the waves.
