Jen got some snaps off which could perhaps be the start of a new career for her as a surf photographer. All she needs now is a decent subject!
The day after my birthday we drove the 120km north from Carnarvan to Red Bluff and 3 Mile Camp. Both of these locations are renown surf spots and were heavily populated by mostly male surfers from all over the world. I met guys from New Zealand, US and South Africa out in the water. Getting into both of these camps involved driving down some reasonably rough and sandy 4WD tracks, although both sites had a number of beaten up old 2WD vehicles and normal road caravans that had seen some better days. Red Bluff looked like and had the vibe of those super secret hardcore surf camp locations you see in the old surfing safari movies from the 70's and early 80's. Surfing Red Bluff did make me feel a little of what those surfing pioneers would have experienced and certainly had me living out some of my (G-rated) teenage fantasies. Jen got some snaps off which could perhaps be the start of a new career for her as a surf photographer. All she needs now is a decent subject!
