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?

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
