Surfing with Dolphins

One of the  highlights of life for me is surfing with dolphins. On this occasion a pair of bottlenose dolphins were cruising around us as we waiting for the swell to arrive.

Another time, I have been surfing a wave on my surfboard and looked across to see that I was sharing the experience with a dolphin, merely metres away.  :-))

Byron revisited

In the past few years Byron Bay has become so crowded that it has lost some of its appeal. This week I was lucky to be down there and found it easy to get a car park, easy to get a beach front table and even easy to get a wave. The reason for the lack of crowds was "schoolies" who tend not to drive, don't go to the cafes and sleep most of the day.  Byron was like it was 20 years ago .... excellent.

Byron Bay sea kayak surfing

Its always fun to harness the power of nature and Byron Bay was the perfect place to do it. Be it body surfing, with a board or a 5.4m sea kayak, catching a wave is an exhilarating experience.
