The sun gets up super early in Noosa. By around 5:30am it's beginning to prove difficult to have a sleep in, with all the bird & insect life trumpeting in a group chorus, as well as the steady increase in temperature and humidity. 

At this point, one would amble out of bed and into the living room where buddies were scratching their heads and rubbing their eyes, visibly perplexed by if they had over indulged on beer the evening prior or if they had managed to stay under the magic 'no hangover barrier'.

By 6:30 we were at the beach, still perplexed, but eager to learn what the 27 degree celsius sea had in store for us.

Some more shots from Noosa, man it's beautiful there. As mentioned I was there shooting some photo & video for Rake Surfboards. Here are some shots of Adrian Knott, Rake Surfboards creator. 

The shaping bay setup in the backyard is amazing. Everything about the shed is stunning. It was built by the previous owner of the house, for the purpose of being a chapel to have a backyard wedding in. It's now transformed into a surfboard shaping bay, which is essentially a shrine to a religion anyway.

Greetings from Noosa, QLD. I'm up here visiting and shooting photographs/video for Rake Surfboards. It's such a magical place. Having left Victoria on Monday, I felt as though I was back in Summertime when I arrived and took in my surroundings. 

We have had a little surf at the points, though the swell hasn't been quite big enough yet. Fingers crossed some solid swell comes soon.

Here are a couple of photographs I took yesterday in between filming the surfboard production process, and scouting for waves.

I spent some time with the lads at Rake Surfboards & Clothing late last year. Andy Warhurst is doing great things with the resin tints, and in the water. Aido Knott, owner/shaper/fashion designer for Rake, is always stepping it up, and I can't wait to see what this year holds for the brand.

Some digital and polaroid photos I did for Rake Surfboards Summer 2011 clothing range. Since introduced to Rake as a brand I have been a keen follower of their surfboard shapes and clothing designs. Adrian Knott, director and designer of Rake, is a hell fun cat with a trick or two up his sleeve.
