A rare moment spent on the other side of the lens during our shoot in the desert last weekend, with @jordy_mcarthur and his beautiful shorty cruiser.

This shoot marks my last one here in WA for a few months, as I gear up to head over to the Mentawai’s next week where I’ll be staying with the legends at @pitstop_hill - which I am unbelievably excited for.

P.S. - I got some new sunnies just in time to head away, and they’re about to become a big part of my personality.

Strap in.

Tropical downpours providing some fruitful sessions in the Mentawai 🌴

No better place to be.

The smoke haze has come and gone over the last few weeks. Here’s @ethandower parking himself in the thick of it.

Not a single drop out of place.

Another from a firing morning recently here in the Mentawai.

@tommywilliams.photography showing some class at a Mentawai classic.

The scale and beauty of this spot easily makes it one of my favourite places to have shot so far since being here.

Dwarfed by the trees that line the shore, this break embodies the true isolated beauty of these islands.

there’s been quite a few empty canvasses around lately.. be rude not to draw a few lines on them!

We are incredibly grateful to welcome so many familiar faces back to Pitstop Hill each year. So much so, that it’s quite rare we get the opportunity to host an entire group of surfers on their very first trip to Mentawai. There’s no better feeling than to be able to provide an experience that matches, and often exceeds the expectations of those we host. These boys from Sydney will leave us tomorrow morning surfed out and full of stoke, and we look forward to welcoming them back as part of the family for years to come! by @bytomstevenson

The daily get up.

It’s now been 4 years since leaving a life and a career in the UK - and it’s safe to say that in that time, things have looked a little different on more than one occasion.

These days, in place of a suit & tie, the daily attire often consists of a helmet, camera, & a pair of boardies.

A big thanks to the trusted @gathsports for keeping the swede in one piece, with a tidy tan line across the forehead, as well as @liquideyewaterhousings for keeping the most important stuff stuff dry.
