Pedra Branca from the air
Monday 03/03 28
The mighty Pedra Branca dished up a mackin' early season swell on Sunday, with the Tassie boys getting stuck into some big bombs. Stu Gibson positioned his drone above the action - here's a tasty teaser for ya.
Off The Beaten Track
Fri 14 September 12:00am
When a large swell hits the Southern Tasmanian coast local surfers usually flock to the known bays and points, seeking shelter from the size and winds.

Bolt through the bush
Wed 8 August 12:00am
Never mind the Harold Holt, I ain't got time for rhyming slang. With blue skies, a grinding left and zero crowds I'd be running down this bush track faster than Usain Bolt.
Thankfully Nicholas Green isn't quite so impatient and stopped to fire off a few shots.

Shelf Life
Mon 12 December 12:00am
Tassie ain't all Shippies madness and isolated west coast reefbreaks. Despite the cold and the relentless Roaring 40's winds, Tassie can often be fun. In this session, Tassie photographer, Nicholas Green, captures locals timing their run across a shallow, barrelling shelf.

It's time lapse, but not as we know it.

All around the apple cart
Tue 16 August 12:00am
Tasmanian photographer, Mathew Tildesley, recently sent us a surprising selection of shots from his home island. Surprising because there wasn't one shot of Shipsterns Bluff amongst them - proof that there's much more to the Apple Isle than that lone wave.
They were also surprising because it almost looks warm in these photos. Cold, you say? Nah...look at all that blue sky.

Rubber Soul
Tue 12 July 12:00am
The fella who took these pics, Mick Gullan, works in a surfshop and reckons he's never sold as many gloves, boots and hoods as he had in the three days of the swell.
It's a hardy soul that wants to dip his toes when there's snow down to 200 metres, but judging by the photos there's a few hardy souls in Tasmania.

Death Defying
Mon 23 May 12:00am
Yet while all that madness was happening the really death defying surfing was occurring across the bay at Tassie's small wave locations.
After all, the best way to defy death is by not driving around to Shippies and taking on the ledge.

The March long weekend in Tassie is when the state's premier surfing event takes place. With around 140 competitors taking part it's our biggest event on the surfing calender and now in its 34th year.

Midsummer Shippies
Fri 11 February 12:00am
Under glorious blue skies bathers frolicked on the rocks, sailboats bobbed about in the bay and surfers took turns on the waves.
What better way to spend a summers day then launching off a ten foot, triple-sucking death ledge?
