Surf Explorer Boat


For long time I've wanted to have boat capable to explore long the coast to seek out hard to reach surf spots. I came across this photo a while a go but don't know any background to it apart from the guy's set up looks awesome, 13' Boston Whaler (I think), twin outboards, centre console and surfboard rack. It looks cold as he is fully rugged up with a beanie and hooded wetsuit. I love Boston Whalers and can even attest to their 'unsinkability' by having ripped the bottom clean off one and have it still motor on! Although not the greatest hull for rough conditions. photo by Jeff Divine

Super modified Fins

Swim fins are not the most comfortable things to wear. Pod fins are pretty good but my skinny feet need some extra padding. So I cut custom neoprene inserts and glued them in place with flexible rubber based cement and now my feet are much happier!

Mountain Bike Worlds



Some moan that the downhill course at Mount Stromlo is flat and too peddally, well I know for sure I couldn't ride some sections of it!! The guys and girls where flying down it but Peaty blazed it and claimed the crown for Britain. photos Will Sherman

Cronulla tift shift photos



Cronulla is only about 30 minutes south of Sydney but feels a world away. Home of infamous shark island. I like how tilt shift style photos make a otherwise pretty dull scene lively and interesting. photos will sherman

If you can't find one build one part 2

The bed frame has impressed a friend of mine so much he asked for the design so he could build himself one. So I tidied up the drawing and put a few dimensions on it. If you would like a pdf of design you'll find my email address on my website

If you can't find one build one

I couldn't find a simple bed frame and one that we could store all our junk under. So I drew up a quick design and when off down the wood yard. Using around 9 metres of timber and less than a day to construct, the frame is simple to put together with coach bolts. There is very little waste from the 3m lengths as the legs and frame sections are cut from the same 3mx140x19 planks. The steel mid beam and sprung plywood slats are from Ikea to save time.

Newy tilt shift photos



Newcastle is Australia's second oldest city so I've been told. Its roughly an hour and half up the coast from Sydney. Surrounded by amazing beaches and bush land Newcastle would explode if the transport links where improved! photos: will sherman

The Japanese are really into canned beverages. There isn't a street corner, metro station or shopping mall without a vending machine dispensing cold and even hot drinks.
