Frothers - We love the waves - 26th of Jul, 2010

Airlines for surfers

Before booking your next interstate surf trip, it's worth reading the following breakdown on our big 5 airlines in regards to excess baggage and surfboards. CLICK HERE for more info on the best way to go when trying to get your quiver on the flight and how to save some of that hard earned cash.

What’s that, a sigh of relief? You’ve opened up Frothers and finally it’s there in its brand spankin’ glory! We know we kept you waiting folks, our apologies, but we reckon the wait was worth it.

There has been a lot of buzz about training and surfing of late. Maroubra's John Gannon gives us the low down on what he's up to with Taj Burrow on tour.

Over the past few weeks Liam "Itchy" Taylor and a few of the boys from Bronte escaped to Nias in Northern Sumatra, and here he shares with us the highs and lows of this tropical getaway.

Luke ‘LK’ Kennedy, the flaming red head from Maroubra, is stylin’ both in and out of the water. LK is an easy to spot, smooth character who we are expecting cool things from in the years to come!

Update

26th of Jul, 2010

Welcome to the new look Frothers and the start of a new working week. We were lucky enough to have something worth sliding on for most of last week, but that was only if you were brave enough to venture into the winter waters. Generally, the days started off with some chilly SW winds which kept the waves clean and rideable through until mid morning, when the devil wind came to life from the SE ruining our fun.

Some standouts in the water this week were Mick Marj, getting some serious tube time "over the hill" as well as little 11 yr old supergrom Ethan Davis taking flight - both shot by grommet photog Jeremy Shanahan. Caleb Reid again was busting the tail out most days, but it was Insight designer Ryan Hanrahan that nailed a sick air in the south corner at Bondi, lunchtime on Tuesday.

Tuesday and Wednesday look to be the pick of the bunch as far as conditions go this week. Expect a rising south swell on Tuesday lasting throughout Wednesday, with light offshore winds. It's sounding good to us. See you out there!

Skating Around Weekending 18.7.10

This weeks footage is from Bondi and Maroubra. Earlier in the week when the swell picked up from the east Maroubra was pumping, then as the swell turned more south over the weekend we had a couple of beautiful days at Bondi with our new ice skating rink on the beach. Surfer featured are: Perth Standlick, Jono Arnold, Ricky Scott, Mick Marj, Sky, Louie Pywell, Regan Ironmonger, Gaz, Ben Fitzgerald & Pama Davies.

Surf Report - By Ben Horvath (COASTALWATCH)

Swell: 0.5 - 1ftENE
Rating: 2
Water Temp: 17

Absolutely picture perfect conditions this morning with light ofshore westerly winds, clear sunny skies and smooth water surface, but there is no swell. What a bummer - even yesterday's 1 - 1.5 footers were fun because they were so perfect, but today is near flat. Check the Coastalwatch swell forecast.
