2011 has been amazing, and I have you to thank for it! I can’t begin to describe how much I appreciate all of our subscribers. At home in Manly we saw a great year of waves and good times. Throughout 2011 we were able to spread our wings, whilst clocking up a few frequent flyer points, to bring you reports from Lombok, The Solomon Islands, Chile, The Maldives, Byron Bay, The Mentawai Islands, New Zealand and PNG. I sincerely hope you have enjoyed the journey…
2012 is already shaping up to be a massive year. There is an open invitation for anyone who is like-minded and easy going to join us in some of the worlds best surf destinations. Starting with an all girls trip to Fiji in February. (info)
Special thanks to those that help make Saltmotion possible. Our gallery staff and all those who work behind the scenes, you know who you are. The team at ‘The Perfect Wave’ and TC Communications, we could not do it without you. To our customers, supporters and those who travelled and shared waves with us – Thankyou.
The Saltmotion Gallery will be taking a break for the public holidays but will be open throughout the holiday season (hey, it’s tourist time In Manly) so feel free to come on down and say hello (find us). Otherwise I will be back with you, filing daily photographic reports early in 2012.

Merry Christmas to everyone and have a great New Year
Joel Coleman…
