Campfires, Hawks Nest
Everyone loves a good campfire – even more so when it’s on a beach in the heat of an Aussie evening! This shot was taken at the start of my East Coast roadtrip on a secluded beach near Hawks Nest – we literally just parked up and camped on the dunes, eating BBQ and relaxing around a roaring fire. Epic times indeed!

Goodbye paradise 😫 • Honestly the Solomon Islands was nothing short of incredible - the people, the islands and of course the surf • Hoping I can get back to this slice of the world really soon! • And if you want more fixes of paradise there’s a link to the video in my bio, and some blogs live on the site too! • Where in the world are you looking forward to returning to? •
Post surf vibes 😊 • Sunshine, surfing and an empty sand cay - not a bad way to chill out in the Solomon Islands! • @abroadonaboard making the most of some downtime and topping up her tan between surf sessions • Hit the link in my bio for my full trip roundup - get ready for some serious wanderlust! •
WAPOW! 💦🙌 • Long whackable lefts...my idea of perfection in the Solomon Islands • My goal for last year was to nail my front hand turns and I’m pretty stoked with how I progressed! • And as for 2020? Let’s see if I can land an air 😂 • ...also if you’re keen for even more surf trip inspiration check out my Insta stories as I’ve just landed in Sri Lanka! 🤙🇱🇰 • Thanks for the 📷 @chris_mclennan1
Seriously how clear is that water?! 🏄‍♂️ • After a month back in the UK over Xmas I’m very ready to head back to the warmth and surf in boardies again! • And I’m jumping on a plane for my first trip of 2020 tommorow • Any guesses where I’m heading?! •
Unwinding and soaking up the island vibes 🌴 • One of my favourite things about my surf trip to the Solomons was not having any phone signal or WiFi for a week • In a digital world where we’re bombarded with notifications and information 247 the forced digital detox was much needed! • It’s certainly something I’d recommend! • It gave me time to fully relax and enjoy all the incredible beauty and waves this part of the world has to offer • Hit the link in my bio to watch my full Solomon Islands video! • Thanks for the epic 📷 @abroadonaboard •
Your thoughts and prayers aren’t enough 🔥 • Controversial statement I know - but Australia is burning right now and real, tangible action is needed • I know your social feeds are probably full of these pictures and hopefully you’re wondering how you can help and unfortunately you can’t add links to an Instagram caption! • So I’ve made it nice and simple for you to donate to some of the incredible organisations and teams helping on the ground • HIT THE LINK IN MY BIO FOR A LIST OF DIRECT LINKS • Easy as! • So no matter where you are in the world you can now help out everyone from the Rural Fire Service (who are the real, unpaid heros) to wildlife rescue centres • Seriously every little helps - millions of acres are up in flames, over 20 people already confirmed dead, 500 MILLION animals have died and an estimated 1 in 3 koalas have perished too. • And if you can’t afford to donate just give this post or link a share on your insta stories or Facebook to spread the word • The Australian government and Prime Minister have been absolutely f*cking useless in helping or even admitting there’s a problem • Australia is a beautiful country, filled with amazing people and wildlife - hopefully with our help they can recover and rebuild • And if you know of any awesome organisations helping out DM me their donation links or add them to the comments on the link post • Stay safe Australia - we’re here for you! 🤙 • (Also if you know who I can credit for this photo DM me!) •
All smiles in the Solomons! 😃 • That’s one of the many things I love about my time in the Solomons, everyone we met was smiling and friendly ☺️ • Our host family at Vavaghio Surf Camp were nothing short of epic - keeping us well fed, comfortable and of course showing us the best waves in the area! • Where’s the friendliest place you’ve ever travelled? •
