Dolphins make people happy, they just do. There was a large pod hanging around in the bay this morning. Watching them surf is pretty amazing, they put us to shame. Groups of people stop along the promenade and point out to see, camera phones at the ready, in the hope of snapping a frame. They are awesome creatures and it always gives me a buzz to point the lens at them…

Surf wise, I hope everyone had their fill over the weekend. If not there is still plenty of swell on offer today. With the direction being very south Manly is probably missing a lot of the size. Hunt around and I am sure you will find something good…

Maldives surf charter, August  24 – 31 this year, sound appealing? Well I have charted a really nice boat so why not escape the last throws of winter and come join the Saltmotion team for some tropical surfing action! (info)

Enjoy your day,
