I've got Tiago Schardong onboard. He is the first person I let in to effectively be in this project with me. It's been great, he is a mad designer with heaps of experience plus his sense of style is outstanding and I've know him for 10 years. Check out this logo! it's just great ay. This url is for a nice lil video of his on youtube.
I might be getting a lil too obsessed haha bikinis are all I think and talk about all day..

Don't be lazy, leave ur comment!

Another shoot I did, last week.. her name is Alice. Guess I'm getting good at that lol

Fun peaks over schoolies; One more sesh on tiny surf; Tiago, freshly arrived from my town n crashing on my sofa atm, surfing back home; An intimate photo of me trying to have fun with what I'm given.

We had schoolies.. bloody packed with kids. it's always fun hehe.
The last 3 months have probably been the most inconsistent I've seen since I live on the Goldie. that's 3 years.. Although this may be bad news, the truth is that it's exacly what I expected and what I was set for. 1-2 foot of northerly JUST surfable little ones everyday.. best bet has been out the front.. points are not working, even though the extended flat period has shaped divine banks on them.
Now I've been surfing what I'm given, everyday, at some stage of the tide there's something surfable.. some days I just don't go.. get that deep into doing stuff for my business.. But very soon the cyclones and that are coming to find perfectly shaped banks at the points, and I'll obviously be in Coolie waiting for them from February.
Shots: Tiny surf over schoolies week, got a few with Todd; Lookin good outta front with the offshore; Dawn fun; Chilling with Andy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This shoot was hectic. It kinda fucked with my head haha needed a few days to recover and accept it's only business.
Ebany has been helping me heaps, nicest chick. The photo with the other blonde (her mate Cora) was during a shoot they did in sydney for someone else, but wearing Beach Bum yeeeow. All the other shots r from the house lol here we go, one more natural beauty to be appreciated with the lifeguard hut in the scene.

The photoshoot of tuesday was mindblowin.. im still recovering. no point in tryin to describe, will post some photos when they r ready.

Beach Bum

 

It’s been ages again.. the truth is I haven’t been taken that many photos. Nevertheless there’s that much going on it’s not funny.

I arrived back from Indo and crashed at Rogerin’s in Kirra for a couple of weeks until I was kicked out for having a guest lol. I understand chef’s tend to get grumpy, but in this case he’ll need to get sorted by karma for that once he finally goes to Bali.

Don’t matter though, since I've been back I have a lot more happening inside my head than outside. I thought of a whole business plan, a name, a goal.

I wanted the beautiful Aussie chicks to sunbake in proper sized bikinis. So sick of those fucken grandma style old-coffee-filter looking pieces of rag covering their lovely bums.. some are already using better stuff and many are looking for it, so I decided to catalyze this process by diving head first into a high risk plan. I got another batch in the country and now it's on. Started the label, took a few photos, etc.. won't give away too many details lol

All the support from the people I met in indo was quite a fuel to inspire me to do it.. and also this random dude I met in Brazil who convinced me of how important it is to represent something from my country while I'm here. He definitely deserves some credit for it although he has no clue I went for bikinis.. or that I'm alive at all hehe. I was gonna call it Brazilass in an endeavor to join Brazil and ass in one word, but decided to go for Beach Bum instead, it’s a lot more universal.

The 2 years I spent between the warehouse and the head office in Diva were that important to educate me on how to do it all. I’m sure I’ll make it.
