Jack's Day: Sat. July 5 - Location change
Due to the massive swell about to hit Sydney we’ve decided to relocate the paddle out to South Palm Beach to ensure the safety of all attendees, and allow as many people to join us in the water for the ceremony.
We wanted to ensure ALL of dad’s friends and family from near and wide could be apart of the day so we have decided to do the first ever live broadcast of a paddle out, complete with a half hour pre ceremony talk story featuring Nick Carroll, Mark Occhilupo and Laura Enever. They will be joined by special guests to honour dad’s life and continued legacy of innovation - this time, from above.
Seven-time World Champion, Layne Beachley AO, and two-time world champion Tom Carroll will be leading the ceremony, with thousands travelling from across the globe to come together and pay tribute.
Following the procession, we invite everyone to join us at Mona Vale Hotel for the celebration. A star studded line up of artists will come together in tribute to dad and his passion for music. A selection of his most iconic films will also be playing on the big screen to cap off the night.
The celebration is in support of Surfrider, Surfers for Climate and the new Jack McCoy Aloha Foundation – formed to preserve and develop dad’s archive, support upcoming film makers, and assist in the fight against the environmental crisis – ensuring his legacy lives on for generations to come.
Mark it down, spread the word and get your favourite aloha shirt pressed. This will be one for the ages
Paddle Out at 1pm… Make sure you arrive early… Expecting thousands.
All proceeds being donated to Surfers For Climate, Surfrider and Jack’s new Foundation - the Jack McCoy Aloha Foundation.
The JM Aloha Foundation is being formed to assist upcoming film makers, preserve and develop Jack’s archive and support environmental activations.
Thank you again for all of the support from the whole community who have wrapped their arms around us. It means the world and we can’t wait to give you all a big Jack McCoy heart to heart hug.
The McCoy ohana.

Local photographer reveals a new wave perspective on South Curl Curl Rockpool in new exhibition 'Immersed' at Manly Library
Marion Wheeler, of Manly Vale, sets a new wave perspective with her photographic exhibition called 'Immersed' at Manly Library.
Her spectacular shots of the break crashing over camera are set to thrill visitors to this evocative show.
"It's all about timing. There's a single moment to get a single shot before nature crashes over your head," explained Marion, an award winning photographer who's been capturing the natural world.
"It was one of the most challenging projects I've ever tackled. I was fully immersed in the water with my handheld camera bearing the full brunt of the waves crashing over me to capture that elusive moment when the wave is perfectly arced, a liquid sculpture for a split second above, which then smashed over my head.
"There were moments when I wondered if I'd come out the other side in one piece. One time I was swept down the pool with the force of a 3 meter breaker - tumbling under water, breath held, goggles lost but I got the shot and wisely decided that was enough for one day."
"The shots reflect my love of the ocean, its force and form. It's the architecture of the Northern Beaches and is endlessly fascinating. I hope other locals who share my passion will enjoy the exhibition, as much as I did taking the photos."
The exhibition 'Immersed' of images of South Curl Curl Rockpool runs from 31 May - 31st July at Manly Library Creative Space, Level 1.

Surfing Mums & Dads
Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children.
The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am.
Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.
We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
