Eastside shorey bash- so fun!
They are funny old things, these EDM’s …. that’s electronically direct mail, btw. Apologies if you’re reading this on the PhotoCPL Blog …which is the abbreviation for Web-log.
There is all sorts of marketing do’s and don’t around them, like keep them short [fail] and be regular [semi-fail]. Last week’s one was missed, had heaps of content, but there was a swell eastside. Sit behind the keyboard tapping out at post, or get amongst it and gather more images and good times. There was actually a brief tussle, I’d been on a roll of regularity with the EDM. Common sense bore out though, the whole reason for doing the EDM is to share images….oh and gentle persuade you to buy a PhotoCPL print, book, T or hoodie.
Last week the PhotoCPL blog [which is also the EDM] got rated as one of the top 5 New Zealand Photo Blogs by Feedspot HERE . That’s pretty cool aye!
Sooooo eastside it was. The swell was far from being the most epic tubing beast event, but it was a stayer. 4 days of fun, lots of sessions, lots of memory cards filled and batteries drained...
This one of Taj DeBasco-Millar was NOT taken in this swell, it's from the week prior
suma suma... and there's the sequence of him riding out over on Insty HERE
How dreamy and fun is that bank
Braedon Williams choosing to dabble in the criss-crosses
Digga indicating that it's around 2 foot
Dylan Preston styley as always on the Thursday eve session
The perennial grom and NZ's very own surfing Iggy- Mister Iain 'Ratso' Buchanan
...and another ever-grom, Mojo Shaper Mark O'Connor
An actual grom...in fact from this point on, most of the shots are grubs... Hazza Biddle
Hazza and a very unlike grom spray
India Kennings powering through
Daniel Cox 1 and 2
and his brother Kobie below
Ash Rogers in a Friday arvo waft
meanwhile up the beach...
When you see a rainbow like this, get the drone in FAST... preeeetty though aye
Mountie grub Ffeon Clifford one to watch for sure
And then time to play at Shangri-La
From the air, the land and the sea, pretty darn stoked all the angles got flexed on this swell. I even shot with a new little Chinese toy camera that turned out to be exactly that and pretty shite, but you don't know if you don't have a go.
....AND DEEEEEEN.....
Yessss... the gentle prod... Have you checked out the PhotoCPL Piha Hoodie yet? They are ticking over really quite nicely
...and so has the PhotoCPL Whanga Hoodie not nervous about having 5 big boxes of these guys sitting in the office one bit... no not at all.
