2015 Mooloolaba ITU Triathlon World Cup - Elite Men

Hi all

Following on from my recent blog post on the 2015 Mooloolaba ITU Triathlon World Cup - Elite Women, here's my post of pics on the 2015 Mooloolaba ITU Triathlon World Cup - Elite Men.

GO! - The Start


Aussie Peter Kerr first out of the water (the ocean :))


It was great to see David Hauss again. He has always been very competitive in Mooloolaba - not surprising since he almost medalled at the London Olympics. This time he went on to take his first Mooloolaba win.


Pablo Dapena Gonzalez


Tyler Mislawchuk


Australian Jacob Birtwhistle who did very well to take a podium place.


On to the bike leg, including this tricky downhill corner - Ron Darmon:


UxioAbuin Ares


Australian dual Olympian Courtney Atkinson who is on the comeback trail for Rio 2016. Perhaps it'll be tough for him given the quality of Ryan Bailie, Dan Wilson, Aaron Royle, Brendan Sexton and Jacob Birtwhistle, but good on Courtney for having a go.


Thomas Bishop


Alternate processing, 'pretty presets brown' - Jason Wilson


Jesse Featonby


Alternate processing, 'orange filter' - Cameron Good


Let's give the last word to deserved winner David Hauss

QuikSilver & Roxy Pro Surfing 2015

Hi all

Last week I was lucky to have two opportunities to visit the 2015 Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro surfing, on the Wolrd Suf League tour, at Snapper Rocks, Coolanagatta, Gold Coast, Qld, AUS. The Quiksilver Pro was won by Brazilian teenager Filipe Toledo (sending the Brazlian fans into overdrive) and the Roxy Pro was won by Hawaiian Carissa Moore. Some pics:
