The Road And The Sea

Come Drift With Me.

[theroadandthesea]

This time last year I did a little solo mission across good ol’ Dr Pacific, only to land on a tiny island where I bumped into old mates and made some new ones. Oh, and waves were ok, too. Think I’ve found the next stamp I wanna put in my passport, hopefully it turns on like this trip did. (if not, then get me back to this joint, ASAP!). . . . . . . . . . . . #BackToJack #JackStance #dk #dropknee #boogieboarding #bodyboarding #surfing #waves #cookislands #surf #mates #travel #pacific #islands #sun #explore #summer #bodysurf #bodyboard #bodysurfing #swim #dive #beach #ocean #sea #cooked #aloha #goodtimes (at Rarotonga International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/dilancarestia/p/But-ptFAoBL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1teo5gzmjvcd2

This is one from the vault, grom days. This was when I was learning to do a semi-legit turn without a grab-rail. This was also the first board I had with a full crescent tail, and I’ve been obsessed with them ever since, the way they hold a line like surfboard fins. Got a few new ideas for the next custom @qcdboards , can’t wait to see what it will do. . . . . . . . . . #maroubra #beach #dropknee #dk #bodyboarding #surf #surfing #jackstance #sun #backtojack #throwback #waves #home #tail #rail #goodtimes (at Maroubra Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt0ZfpbA7K2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9slpp7wbmmlj

‘Straya, mate. Wilderness in the heart of the city. Got the best backyard in the world down here.

Just realised there’s only like 3 weeks of summer left. That said, pretty pumped for autumn offshores & warm water, always waves for some good days when those winter swells start kicking into gear. . . . . . . . . . #palmtrees #beach #waves #sun #surfing #bodyboarding #aloha #dropknee #bodysurfing #ocean #sea #roadtrip #australia #goodtimes (at Last Day of Summer - Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtrqQQNATk5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tgovjlrkllfu

Dodging bluebottles. I’m sure they have an ecological niche, and are important for something, but struth, can we get some turtles to eat them all or something?! 📷 @lozzapix . . . . . . . . . . . . . #maroubra #beach #stung #bluebottle #dk #dropknee #bodyboarding #waves #surf #jackstance #backtojack #jellyfish #summer #sting #sun #ocean #sea #swim #bodysurfing #goodtimes (at Maroubra Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btkze5-gQki/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r7d4ye7gtbwk

With everyone doing their 10 year challenge photos, I wanted to share this, a little late but I’m pretty proud of it. In high school, I had a couple of injuries and for the following years needed multiple surgeries on both knees. I had to wear a brace of some kind under my pants in my last 3 years of school, and sold the surfboard I’d bought myself. Bodyboarders had been my heroes as a grom, and as I worked on strengthening the knees I worked out that when I locked them at 90 degrees in dropknee, they were pretty stable for me. The top shot is recovery after an op, the bottom shot is scooping in on my last trip to Samoa. Still learning, still trying to work my way through every type of surfcraft, still grateful for the support from some great companies, and still got a lot of great guys to look up to in this little #Jackstance family.

Nothin’ to see here, matey. Morning yogalates stretches through the flags at home.

South Maroubra, Wednesday 8am. Change-over time. The early surfers exit to get to work, and the first lot of swimmers come down to set up in the flags for a 30*C day. Love how you can be in Australia’s biggest city and still find yourself some quiet, empty beach. Home is a beautiful place. . . . . . . . . . . #maroubrabeach #maroubra #sydney #australia #djispark #drone #dji #spark #views #beach #ocean #sea #nature #naturephotography #view #swim #waves #surf #surfing #bodyboarding #bodysurfing #home #sunrise #summer #goodtimes (at Maroubra Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsq6PhTAJhw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13qcfmeq3tn98
