We all know that surf trips to places like Indo, Fiji, PNG, Africa, Maldives, Europe etc are special. We dream about them and the perfect surf on offer. Whether it is a surf camp or boat trip, the memories are worth a million dollars. Inavariably someone takes a few happy snaps but they generally don't capture all the great waves and other adventures you have because noboby wants to sit in the boat or on the beach taking pics and video and miss out on the waves.

That problem has now been solved. Get a group of Mates together, select a destination from the wide range of trips available on the Perect Wave website and I will come along and record your trip for you. You'll get an extensive professionally shot video and image record of your trip taken by me. All images are taken with an extensive range of professional lenses and camera and the video will be taken in full high definition (see equipment list below). My ONLY responsibility will be to capture stills and video of you on your adventure. I would love to be out in the surf with you but at my age and given my stuffed back from a lifetime of surfing, windsurfing, and skiing and standing for hours at gigs with a Strat hanging around my neck I accept that I won't be surfing. No more struggling to find someone who will miss out on the surf in order to take some pics.

The cost of my services is included in the trip costs which will of course vary depending on where you go and how long you go for etc. The only thing you have to do is get a group of 10 people together. If you have a smaller group we can still help by hunting up another small group to combine with your group to build the number to 10.

For the technically minded, the camera gear I take along will include the following. Do a google if you want to find out more about any of the equipment. My images and video have been used extensively by www.coastalwatch.com, Ripcurl, Smorgasboarder surf mag etc. My images can be enlarged to full poster size.
