To cope with the miniscule monotony Swellnet photographer, Jack Dekort, has trawled back through his recent archives. Lifting his spirits by recollecting better days from the past year.

Here, Jack puts his imune system to the test, while also baiting himself in the bush to those sneaky blood suckers, all to capture these grey but moody images from the not so Sunny Coast.

Jack Dekort was on the ground in Bali and saw the lineups reach saturation point with the likes of Rob Machado, Craig Anderson and Ozzie Wright sharing waves with 70 other punters and 20 water photographers.

On the backside of the swell Jack went for a swim at Canggu as the sun started to set, capturing Sam Rhodes (teal boardshorts) and Levi Torresi in a high performance power session.
