Back On The Tools! / by craig levers

Feels Like Summer....

Piha under it's shroud of sea mist last Sunday

It's been a great week out west. While the surf hasn't been epically pumping, it sure has been fun. I've been working, back on the tools, that is, the camera and big boy lens. And loving it. I could prattle on about the days, but you just wanna see surfing shots aye... well I do anyway. So here's a quick photo essay of shoreline action from the last few days.

Of course the star of the show, 14 year old Piha ruler Leia Millar, literally in her own backyard

Leia, your 2021 U14 National Champ

Yep...you know who..

Leia's old boy Stu displacing some Tasman nicely

The ever frothed grom Marty Cleland-Pottie

Bruce Johnson smashing it between zoom meetings

...and bones. Two very different approaches to shoreline apparel

Shouldn't you be in the shaper's bay? GHS shaper Steve Walker, a welcome return to Piha's waves after a few years up at Muriwai

Another of the older groms; Matty Zeigler between zoom meetings

Yess! The man, the legend Duncs Clarke and his son heading out for lunch break

James MacAlpine getting that weightless drop feeling... this makes me wanna go surfing...is that weird?

Other Going Ons...

What with couriers overwhelmed with our collective online shopping binges, the physical copy of new magazine SUBMACHINE only showed up this week. I'm biased of course, but it's looking like a a great mag in general. Not just the 6 pages with my stuff on them, the whole first issue is tight and filled with high interest features for the sophisticated motor head. Check it out HERE

If you're thinking about buying a print for Christmas, now is the time to get those thoughts actioned, even if it's not a Photo CPL one. Printers and couriers are going to be stressed the next 6 weeks.
