On the 19th November 2011 My then Fiance now wife and I tied the knot. Our day was so perfect and couldn't have been any better. Awesome venue, awesome friends and family, awesome food and of course there is my wife. It was the best day of my life!

Thanks to Benny and Kiryn too for these amazing shots. I am a very lucky man!

Sorry it's been so long in between posts but a lot has happened this past 2 months.

My Bucks, Wedding, Xmas, Bought a house, NYE just to name a few.

Time to catch up and post a few images from 2 of the best months of my life!

Here is a shot by Kiryn ( i think) I'm not sure.

Too much beer pong makes you forget a few things. Either way about 25 of my closest mates spent the weekend up in Forster where we chilled, went surfing and of course played BEER PONG!

I could look at this shot all day! So sick that i had to blog it.

I just keep mind surfing it, what line to draw?, grab or stand tall?

either way if you ever land a wave like this the result is going to be good.

During one of the last swells Jughead had been barrelled enough
to last him a lifetime so he decide to

jump onto the other side of the lens. Unfortunately he
bumped his camera before he jumped off the rocks

shifting the focus. He was pretty devo but i reckon the shots are sick!!!

Jug standing ever so relaxed in 1 of his 5000 barrels he got in that amazing swell.

Here is a little taste of a few sessions thanks to the Bones brothers Alex and Jake Gibson.

Bodysurfing

2011-04-04T10:28:00.001+10:00

One of my favourite bodysurfing shots i've ever taken...

The funny thing is this was our first bodybash out Keiki in Hawaii and it was perfect. We wrecked our bodies for 2 hours and then rode home to check out the shots... After about half an hour of checking them all out I accidentally deleted this shot! So spewing we jumped on the net to try and find out if or how we could retrieve it. 3hrs later we still hadn't got anywhere but knew we could get it back somehow. I didn't end up using this card again for the whole trip and 2 days after being home I saved her!

So Stoked!!!

Tim

2011-03-30T19:53:00.000+11:00

Clean, Crisp & Clear... Lets keep it that way!

In July 2011, Tim Silverwood will embark on a voyage sailing across the Pacific Ocean from Honolulu to Vancouver to undertake important research into plastics in the North Pacific Gyre (Great Pacific Garbage Patch [GPGP]).

What is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? glad you asked...

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch has been compared to a 'floating island of trash', it is spread over an area twice the size of France in the North Pacific Ocean. Four oceanic currents converge here, causing floating plastic debris from Asia, North America and the South Pacific to accumulate in a swirling vortex that's rumoured to be doubling in size every ten years.

Tim will create a documentary on the experience which will contribute invaluably to raising global awareness of this issue.

How can i HELP?

The last 11 days of my life I've been lucky enough to have enjoyed the awesome waves and lifestyle of HAWAII. This place is too good... from skydiving to surfing all the infamous breaks... this place has so much to offer. As i look back it all seems like a RAD dream but as i sift through thousands of photos i know it was reality alright... Reality that I'm going to try and visit every year!
