Lone Soldier

The swell has been pumping for the last week.. So on sunday the wind swung offshore and i rolled down to brighton to snap a few shots.. Sadley, i wasn't heading out cos i have an avulsion injury to my 4th and 5th metatarsils (my ankle)..

What a day, there was a solid 4-5ft swell rolling in and just one lone soldier out back surfing.

Out back by the way was at least 50m past the end of brighton pier, and i watched about 6 guys attempt the paddle and get nowhere. The best option would have been to jump off the end of the pier at high tide..

I was almost to excited to take pictures, but heres a few shots:

NB at its best. Too bad it ain't like that in summer. I was amped for a surf until i stepped outside and remember how icy cold it is.

Some great photos - thanks for sharing them. I'm a kiwi living in Sydney - if those waves were here it would be crowded, although the aussies don't handle the cold too well. Some recent shots of a classic mid winter day are at:

I did forget to mention the ball shrivelling, brain freezing cold tempatures..
