Up & Down...
... the coast there's been massive winter swells for the last few weeks. Had to be some consolation for the bone chillin' cold.
We've been sent a lot of shots from peeps keen to share the big stuff... here are a few of our faves:
UP
17 year old Central Coast snapper Alex Gibson caught TCSS slider Kerry Down charging on a 7'5" single fin
DOWN
winter Bells are ringing.
TCSS man on the ground in Vicco, Simon Taylor showed us where Bodhi spent the weekend:
... "I took these pics of Bells and Winki about midday Saturday, the size was ranging from 8-10 ft with some 12ft bombs at Bells. The wind was WEST 25-30 knots so a little cross shore and the tides were a bit too high all day to deliver perfect waves. The waves got bigger and bigger all day leaving the big wave chargers surfing late that arvo, Dan Ross and Tony Ray were stand outs. Surfers were paddling all the way from Jarosite West of Bells through heavy water to get to the bowl riding 7ft Guns to 10ft Rhino chasers. Some of the less experienced mad dogs were paddling from the beach at Bells and in no time found themselves washed across the infamous Winki Button! The media broadcasted the anticipated swell on the news Friday night so there were huge gatherings of spectators lining the cliffs watching the brave. The whole town comes alive with hype and stories of what they’ve seen or experienced, its one the reasons I love living on the Surf Coast."

Board Meetings
Tuesday, The Critical Slide Society held it's inaugural board meeting ....guess where? Despite a sweet lil peeler right out the front, we managed to keep focused..thanks to a consistent barrage of food and coffee from our pal Tom at Hemingway's, North Steyne. High recommend the date infused fries, coco pops washed down with a white rabbit dark ale
The seductress
Hemingway's
Beer, coffee & balance sheets?
Jimbo and Suzie, sizing up Surfection's hoarding.

Paintings by Ty
We met Ty Williams over in Japan a couple of months ago, a great artist and great karaoke voice. He's got a show at the Insight LA Store in Venice running from July 30 - August 26. Check Ty's work out here. (By dress appropriately we suspect boat shoes and hawaiian shirts.)

gigs and an art show, traveling up the East Coast this July.Sometimes whimsical, sometimes romantic and sometimes rockin', they describe their sound as a quirky combination of pop, folk and a tiny bit of grunge. Playing a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, trumpet, ukelele, harmonica and sweet, harmonies."
