Almanac Surfing – Bells Beach: Women’s Final
For those interested in the water arts, here are some pics I took at Bells Beach on Friday.
Sally Fitzgibbons and Courtney Conlogue surfed brilliantly in the final with, according to the commentator, point one of a point separating them at the end. But Courtney rang the bell.

I have writing published and performed in various mediums, but usually not enough of it to pay the rent. Had many jobs, travelled a lot, so I think this experience allows a broad perception of society. I'm not an academic, though did complete a BA as a mature-age student.

These surfers are incredible athletes. Great snaps.
Love it.
Thanks, Dips & E.
Yes, amazing balance, Dips. The men also appeared for a cameo – think that’s Nat Young in the red vest, upside down.
