Our pod of local dolphins

Well it was like a dolphin conference at our local wave - Wategos in Byron Bay  this morning. We had over 50 dolphins swimming and surfing with us which was just truly awesome.

On almost any given day there are wild dolphins swimming in the waters that surround Cape Byron where you can encounter them closely in their natural habitat.

I use the Cape Byron walking track to get an great look at the waters below the cliffs where the dolphins can be found usually in small pods of 10-20 animals

Nothing beats a pen and paper

I was sitting down the beach today after a barreling dawn session at “The Wreck” in Byron Bay and was thinking about the values of pen versus computer when planning…………..and decided that nothing beats pen and paper especially after my recent trip to Malaysia where my laptop got fried yet again…

OctiSphere 1.0 created at Bondi Icebergs Club 2003

I decided to revert to my diary for initial notes and the mud-map of what we were planning on our 08 projects and how they all fitted together. Now I understand you may think these sketches are the product of a deranged mind but they are in fact proof of concept. The first image is Octisphere1.0 which we mapped out at the Bondi Life Savers club in 2003.
