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.

byron again

It got pretty busy around here (Noosa) with the festival on in March. And with being on the road in New Zealand for the last month, I haven't had a good opportunity to update much on here.

In the last post I was about to leave for byron, so here are some photos from that trip. It didn't end up being exactly like I thought it would be, but it was still really fun. I met plenty of new people who were on their way up to Noosa, where I got to hang out with them a bit more.

The next post will have some photos from the festival week.

Until then, I hope you enjoy these ones.

byron

We're headed back down to byron bay tomorrow for a few days.

One last little road trip in australia before coming back to noosa for the longboard festival, then to NZ for a month.

I got way behind and pretty much haven't posted any recent photos on here. I'll either mostly wait, and post a lot of them at the end, or just pick up with things that are happening in the present, and go back to everything else later... we'll see.

Until then, here are a few photos from our last trip to byron in december. I'm pretty sure that this trip coming up should be pretty amazing.

Finally Pennsylvania

I finally got my scanner cord, and scanned in all of the photos that I wasn't able to before. Here is a small sample of photos from our trip to Pennsylvania way back in August. Road tripping, family time, camping, home town visiting, stray animal saving...

It's been a little while...

I'll have more of my photos to post soon-ish, but for now, here is a link to the newly published issue 4 of Ryan Heywood's bodysurf project. http://bodysurf.com.au/

I'm honored to have a couple photos of mine in there, as well as a couple photos of me shot by my friend Travis Wheeland.

There are so many great photos. One of my favorites is a black and white over/under barrel shot that Garrett Allard captured in California.

I recently tried a hand plane for the first time and am looking forward to trying and shooting that a bit more once the waves get a little better.
