The Snowy McAlister 2018

The Snowy McAlister Winter Festival  is one of my favourite weekends in winter, as its a long weekend ( thanks Queen) and it means we get to see some great surfing talent in Manly.  

I first shot the Snowy McAlister in 2015.  Longboarding was sort of off my radar then, and I was more interested in shooting shortboards and the inside of barrels. I was immediately smitten with the grace and style of longboarding, and since then it has been mostly what draws my lens.

The 2018 even was a great  success despite some crap weather on a couple of the days. At least this year we didn’t have to fight through a bank  of sea weed to get to the break.

Finals day was the best day surf wise, we got some really nice clean waves with a little height, and a perfect sunny day. Most of the footage I captured is from day 3. 

Huge thanks to the organisers and the surfers for putting on a another great  event. I hope my short film and the images do it some justice.

Here is a small film :

Here are some stills I took from the water during day 1 and 3.  This is only a small selection of images I took, feel free to contact me if you are looking for a particular surfer.
