Routine

Morning folks! 

After a fairly different morning yesterday, I'm back to the daily routine. That's right Bronte is very different than Bondi, much more quiet, and not having a camera crew following me everywhere is definitely different too! ;) 

This morning we did jungle gym with Paul and Michael (new Morning Bondi recruit), then the usual coffee, swim, chit chat with my morning mates and swim. Water is a bit chilly (14 degrees atm) but getting out is the worst! 

Have a lovely day guys and chat to you tomorrow,

Amaury

Waves are back in town.

Morning my friends,

Hope you all had a great weekend and you are not too sore (legs or head) after City2Surf. 

I could have been with all the Pure Blonde beers that I drank but I stopped before it gets out of control. Thanks again to Pure Blonde and TLA for inviting us at the official City2Surf After Party at North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club. It was a lot of fun! (See some of it on my Instagram Story before it disappears!) 

This morning, I had quite an unusual start of the day. First of all, I was in Bronte and not in Bondi and second of all I was followed by a camera crew while doing my usual routine.

As some of you already know, some of my work is available at the blinq.art gallery in Bondi Junction (in the Westfield). You can see it all HERE.

The team reached out a few days ago to see if I wanted to be featured in their promo video - on which I said 'Of course!' A massive thank you to the team at blinq.art (Eva, Christine, Laurent & Cyril) and to the camera crew (Luke & Pat) that was pretty good fun and I can't wait to see the footage! 

Have a lovely week my friends,

Amaury

Morning my friends,

Today was looking a lot like yesterday but with the only difference that there were a bit more waves - nothing to rave about but still good to see. I'm secretly hoping that tomorrow morning will be even bigger when I go for my weekend surf. 

The sunrise was very similar than yesterday too - not one cloud in the sky. And, we also did the same thing as yesterday: jungle gym, coffee, photos and swim.

I guess that's it for today... 

Have a cracking weekend and good luck to the ones running City2Surf

Morning my friends,

Another morning, another cracker! It's been a bit more than a week that I'm back from Europe and so far we've only had incredible sunrises. 

Today was again Lake Bondi, no waves, just a tiny shorey. The sunrise was cloudless and pretty stunning. We did the usual Thursday drill: jungle gym, coffee at Chapter One, photos and swim.

The Morning Bondi crew is getting slimmer and slimmer with winter and some leaving the hood (Carlos left to go and live in California and Bruno just across the bridge in Crows Nest - how boring guys!) 

On another note, last night, I was invited by the watch company Ulysse Nardin to check their brand new Executive Skeleton Tourbillon watch. Pretty incredible piece of high-end watchmaking if you ask me - the price is pretty high-end too (around $70k).

During the event, I had the chance to meet the brains behind Man of Many, Frank Arthur and Scott Purcell - top blokes! They gave me a sneak peek of the new website they are about to launch - pretty sleek! 

That's it for today! 

Have a lovely one and enjoy the photos,

Amaury

WOW

Morning my friends,

Wow! What a morning! The sky went on fire at 6:35am when I was still in Bellevue Hill. I had to stop, take two photos as I knew it was going to die down before I get to the beach and it did... (still beautiful though!)

This morning, I skipped the training bit and just caught up with my mate Julius for coffee, photos and swim. Hanging out with friends before work is actually a very nice thing to do. You should try if you are not already doing it!

Besides this morning sunrise, I called the blog post WOW as I just wanted to share with you the amazing work that my friends Joel and Mark are doing with Waves Of Wellness (WOW). Over the weekend, they have just raised almost $50k for the program. Check this great video explaining it all and their website for further details. Good on you boys! We need more guys like you in this world!

Have a lovely day my friends,

Amaury

Morning my friends,

No clouds in the sky, no wind, no ripples in the ocean... just a very calm morning down there. 

My apologies for the delay in the update but my morning was fairly busy up to now. 

Here are the photos of this morning. Hope you like them.

Morning my friends,

What a week it's been! Winter has never been looking that good! It has almost been a week that I'm back from France and I have only been experiencing beautiful weather. God, we are lucky!

This morning, once again, we went down to the North Bondi outdoor gym, then coffee, photos and swim.

All the photos that I took this morning are with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II I actually forgot how good was this camera. Thanks again to the Olympus team for letting me play with their gear.

One last thing before I leave you to it, my good friends Bertie & Chika are moving out from their apartment in Woollahra to move closer to the beach and their apartment is up for rent. Go and check it out HERE It's not Bondi but trust me it's not bad neither! 

Have a great weekend folks,

Amaury

What else?

Morning peeps,

What else? The waves are back in town, the sunrise was a cracker and I bumped into all my morning friends. Actually, I know what we could add to this good mix, a bit more degrees. At 5:30am, when I went down the beach, it was freeeeeezing cold!

Usual routine: jungle gym, coffee, chit chat with the usual suspects and swim. By far the best way to kick-off your day if you ask me!

Last night, I was invited by Uge from Aquabumps to discover his new 'Underwater Dance' exhibition. If you are into dance or underwater photography or even fashion, you should check it out, it's well worth it! 

I guess that's it for today and as always talk to you tomorrow,

Morning my friends,

This morning, I woke up later than usual, still feeling a bit jet lagged. I joined my friends Bruno, Julius and Simon for a much needed coffee. 

It was a bit chilly outside (12 degrees) but can't really complain as we are in the middle of winter and August is meant to be the coolest month. The water is actually warmer than outside (19 degrees) so going for a swim is actually a good thing to do! Getting out of the water is another story ;) 

Have a lovely day and enjoy the photos,

Morning my friends,

What a stunner! This morning was just incredible... Pretty happy that my second Morning Bondi session was looking that great, especially considering the fact that there hasn't been any sunrises like for quite a while. 

The routine is back to normal, we started with jungle gym to get rid of all the cheese, wine, charcuterie and bread that I had for a month, then the best bits: coffee, photos and swim. 

Have a fantastic day and enjoy the photos,

Amaury

Bonjour Bondi

Bonjour Bondi!

After almost a month spent in my home country, France, so good to be back home, Bondi Beach. God, I missed you... It's been almost nine years that I've made Sydney home so when I go back to Paris, I'm a tourist in my own city and believe me it's definitely the best way to experience it.

Everything was just incredible, between my sister's wedding, catching up with family and friends, celebrating the World Cup, partying in St Tropez... It went so fast! If you want to see some of it, go on my Insta @amaurytreguer

Coming back here feels so good though - winter in Bondi is pretty mild: 25 degrees yesterday arvo, 19 degrees in the water and catching up with all my friends. Loving it!

Have a fantastic week and chat to you tomorrow,

xoxo

Morning my friends,

Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was not bad at all, it all started with a wild boys night on Friday night (the only decent photo of us here the rest is history!), then surfing, birthday party for the little Bastien and packing for France.

That's right, today is my last update for quite a while as I'm going to France for 3.5 weeks to attend my sister's wedding and spend some quality time with my family and friends back there. Am I going to miss Bondi? Sure is (as always)! Am I going to have fun in France? Most definitely! If you want to follow my adventure between Paris, Normandy and the French Riviera, feel free to follow me on my personal Insta here: @amaurytreguer

On another note, as promised, I have just used a lucky draw generator for the Sound Healing Meditation giveaway and the winner is.... drumroll please... Mariel T. Congrats! I will be in touch separately and for the ones that entered but didn't win this time, don't worry there will be other giveaways as soon as I'm back from Europe!

Stay safe my friends and take care,

À bientôt (See you soon in French!)

Amaury

I'm going to miss this place...

...and these chaps! 

Yes you too Icebergs! ;)

While I'm away, you can always follow Uge from Aquabumps, he takes decent photos!

Finally

Morning peeps,

A bit of a late update but I got slightly excited to see such a great weather that I took way too many photos... Then you need to select the best ones, quick edit, export and write a blog post. All this takes time! 

Hope you all had a great week, mine was very intense with again heaps of presentations and workshops. I'm finally done with it for quite a while. That's right, on Tuesday I will be boarding a plane direction Paris. I can't wait to be on holidays to be honest... 

Only a few days left to win a ticket for you and a friend to the Sound Healing Meditation session. All the details right here: http://bit.ly/SoundHealingGiveaway Good luck my friends! 

Have a fantastic weekend, it's meant to be good so make the most of it. I will chat to you on Monday.

Cheers!

Sun is back

Morning my friends,

Sun is back, so am I!

It was well worth getting drenched at 5:45am this morning on my way down the beach. At 7am everything was forgotten and it ended up being pretty amazing!

It was so nice to see a bit of sunshine after this horrendous weather that we had the last couple of days! The only amazing thing that I saw in the last two days was the sunset last night. You can see it on my personal Instagram Stories before it disappears @amaurytreguer (you just need to click on my profile pic) The sky turned all pink for 5 minutes tops! Very apocalyptic, I was expecting to see an army of Martians dropping by in Paddo! ;) 

On another note, if you haven't seen my Facebook & Instagram post from Monday. I'm running my very first giveaway ever. If you are into yoga and meditation, you will lose your s**** (Pardon my French!) If you are not, like me, you should still try your chance as I very much enjoyed it. All the deets here: http://bit.ly/SoundHealingGiveaway  Good luck my friends! 

Enough talking, here are the photos from this morning.

Hola amigos,

TGIF (Thank God It's Friday) After a pretty busy week, I'm so glad that it's finally Friday...

I actually have another busy week next week but then I'm on holidays so can't really complain - Can I?

This morning was stunning. From the first lights at 5:45am till 7:40am when I left the beach. We did hill sprints with Paul, coffees with the rest of the gang at Chapter One and then photos and swim.

That was far the busiest day of the week, I saw 50 people all up ;) Besides the fact that it's cold and there are less photo opportunities, winter is definitely the best time to go down the beach. You feel like you have Bondi for yourself! No joke except the surfers surfing the tiny waves in front of the lifeguard tower, I was by myself in the water (and obviously the whales cruising and breaching around Ben Bucker)! So nice...

Have a fantastic weekend my friends and get ready to check the newsletter early next week as I'm going to organise my first giveaway ever. If you are into yoga and meditation, you will luuuuve it!

Ciao!

Morning my friends,

Wow! Another amazing morning down in paradise...

After a fairly big night out with work, the only thing that I was dying to do this morning was to go for a dip in the ocean and that's exactly what I did. By far the best way to cure a hangover... I almost feel as fresh as I was feeling before all the beers and gin & tonic that I had last night. 

Enough about me, this morning was just beautiful and very peaceful - not much happening except probably the fashion shoot happening at Morning Bondi HQ (Yes, I'm talking about the platform above the public toilets in South Bondi!)

Enjoy the photos and chat to you tomorrow,

Ciao!

Morning fellas,

How stunning was this morning!! 

The sky turned all pink, that's actually the reason why I called the album Pink Paradise (no link whatsoever with the Parisian strip club, you dirty mind!) ;) 

We did boxing with Paul and Kim and I had to stop before my last round to take photos. Such a nice way to get interrupted! Then, the usual routine, coffee at Chapter One, chit chat with my morning friends and swim. I know it's hard to believe but the water was incredible...

Have a lovely day and chat to you tomorrow. Here are 14 photos for you to look at, yes I went a bit over the top this morning but wanted to capture every single angle.

Ciao,

Morning peeps,

Hope you all had a great long weekend. Mine was not too bad except that I had to work a fair bit for the big presentation that I have today. 

This morning was nippy (9 degrees at 5:30am) but once the sun was up, it got slightly better and the water was great. I know a lot of people tend to tell me that I'm crazy to still go for swims but I'm not that crazy. The water is 10 degrees warmer than outside and it's by far the best way to wake up! 

Enjoy the photos.

FOMO

Morning my friends,

How good was this morning?! It was just incredible!!!

After finishing work at midnight last night, I nearly slept in but I'm so so glad that I didn't... It was well worth waking up. Very hard to compete with a start of the day like this.

As I was saying yesterday, I've had a hell of a week and it's continuing as we speak. If this morning was not as beautiful, I wouldn't have bothered with a blog post and a newsletter but I feel like it would have been a shame. So here you go my friends and hope you appreciate the effort! ;) 

Have an amazing long weekend,

Amaury

PS: Very sorry for not sending a newsletter yesterday but here is the blog post from yesterday in case you've missed it: Minimum.

Morning my friends,

Long time no speak... This week has been pretty bad weather wise so not much photo opportunities.

Unfortunately, I don't have much time at the moment, I'm fairly busy at work, hence the title "minimum". 

After Tuesday, weather permitting, I promise everything will be back to normal.

Enjoy the photos.
