BONDI In the MOrning!

Spring time in bondi.

summer is biting at its heels and the crew down on the beach at sunrise exercising there little hearts out indicate this!

cant wait to sit under the rainbow unbrella in between 9'2 log surfs.

Surfing in Bondi during the summer months is more like dodgem cars.

The skill of dodging italian, brazilian, english, scottish and scandanavian tourists on a board the size of a boat becomes a sport within a sport.
