Yesterday (Wednesday 8 February 2012) saw the start of the 2012 "Breaka Burleigh Pro" Surfing Competition on Australia's Gold Coast. Just one quick pic for now, and hopefully more later :)

Last Thursday 12 January 2012 I enjoyed a super morning photographing surfing at Duranbah beach (which is at Tweed Heads, in northern New South Wales (NSW), adjacent to the Queensland / NSW border; at the southern end of The Gold Coast; Australia). Here are some pics from a beautiful morning with a strong south-easterly breeze blowing in:
For people using search terms like bodyboarding, boogieboarding, drop-knee and throw-tail :) :)
I had a bit of luck later in the shoot, too. I was finishing up and had just left the beach when, who did I see? None other than Dual World Surfing Champion Mick Fanning, just arriving! A short time later I was back into the swing of things, albeit from a bit further away. Here's a 'pic of Mick'!
Late last month I enjoyed a few days at Noosa Heads photographing the Noosa Triathlon and the Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival. Here are some of my favourite pics from the main event: the Sunday morning Noosa Triathlon for elite and general-public competitors:
Clayton Fettell, who went on to come fourth, and also win an Ironman 70.3 the following weekend!
Felicity Sheedy-Ryan (Women's 4th place)
