Fuck, what a great thread. Tonne of warm, sepia-toned images from sessions long ago. Good memories, no doubt.
Shatner, a Welsh mate of mine often goes to the 'jewel of the Atlantic', before the concrete disaster and after. Here's a few photos from a trip that we ran on Swellnet:https://www.swellnet.com/photos/swellnet-sessions/garden-sea
Southey, the 'secret-y Victoria' spot had a full spread run with historical breakdown in a Vic-based magazine recently.
Bullshit Stu .... mag Schmag .... no reason to say where ( ie what state ) .....
as for it making some obscure local mag , doesn't make it right .... I can guarantee if someone was seen to take photo's and then share them wherever with names that people would be upset ....
Just like a shot i recognised from a WA location that made WOTD , and you or whoever deleted the thread i started to out you guys for showing a PHOTO that was definiteley not Kosha . ie its image gives its location away ....
anyway shatner love your work , just try to be a little discreet for everyones sake .
This is discreet.
My tomatoe plant was 110kg and lovely on the lips, can't wait for the cumcumbers....!
Mr Welly - 4wd access, and you don't want to take a wrong turn. Dicey goat tracks with cliffs.
Is that fertiliser just shit with a pretty label?

Firstly, we didn't delete that thread. In fact Fitzroy even commented on it y'day.

Secondly, that WOTD wasn't from West Oz. So how does the image 'give away the location'?

Awesome Banksia, just full tilt. Yee Hah!!
Perfect example of waves not always needing size/heaviness to be epic.

Fulvic (vulvic) Acid and Wetting Agent, bahahahaha.
My brother has some really good pics. Here's a slightly different one that is definitely worth sharing. We make a pretty good team actually, he dares me to do something stupid, then he captures it perfectly. This pic is probably my favourite portrait. I love the rawness of it. Stunning pic. The wanky / arty words below are just something I tried to work in with it, trying to do it justice.
The Edge
This unique and exceptional image cleverly portrays the duality of the human experience.
Strikingly beautiful, the subject stands firm with zen like calmness within the heart of the surrounding chaos. Seemingly, he protests against the violent forces of nature that bare over him, and it paints a turbulent, quite frightening, and uncertain future.
He somehow possesses, in the same moment, both incredible strength, and a raw, fragile weakness.
This photograph also expresses the solitude of existence, while also displaying the connectedness and oneness of our human experience within the ether.
With the ebbs and flows of life's many varied currents, the trials and the victories, ceaselessly and inevitably draining back into the mighty ocean, the force and the being that spawned his rich, yet futile existence in the beginning.
It is a life that is forever lived awake, and on the edge.
Nice Shoredump. But nothing can prepare you for this killer cyclone action from 1981. Death defying.. Incredible scenes from Yorkeys Knob, as a 14yo sheepdog tackles some of the most unforgiving swells far north qld can offer, on a 6'1 burford single flyer round pin single fin.... Apart from the intimidating nature of these hell waves, these beasts of nature, one must dodge broken bits of boat, box jellyfish, and hungry saltwater crocodiles..... But it's the waves...... The waves that make it all worthwhile...... :/

So was that you southy in photobucket with the black helmet on the super shallow left?
Billy it wasn't Southy was Charlie Pierce at Perfect Wave. I think Southy loves that wave though. I still have scars from that island

Wow, this fuckheads really lost the plot tonight.. Lock ya doors Elliston
Was that written in summer swellnuts? Or was it a norwester at sunset. Its completely different at sunrise, and could be a rocky range if the fences are up over by the blue sky in Ellens high school... nuff said nutters.
fucklift ,
shut up ..... I'm trying to watch the footy ... we're winning ... those 'roids ya sent in the mail worked ;-)
screw WADA . now all we have to do is base the rest of the AUS. WCT out at Tullamarine . great facilities
Its not the footy, its baseball in a souwester in spring, plus, when the moon's down its soccer, and the devil's secret is on the tully to the left, if you go by the weeds by the trough, but don't play netball if the wind is comin off the marine parks in autumn at sunset, driving yas nutters... nuff said.
actually like many things you've done , the roids' failed to go the distance ....
And bennysless didn't fuckn say it!!!!!!! Not in spring anyway, when the tide was low by the reeds, posing as seeds, as the crows fly to the east, except when its raining and its west, if you see lids on the jam, in the byway with butter, if its cold and early, and not a highway drivin yas nutters in summer... nuff said.
For fuck's sake uplift, give it up!! Talk about ruining a good thread.
To quote any young dipshit on the street today....."keep it real"
'Concentrate...............?'
Or the aliens will ring the yeti and find yas, but only if it looks like a left that went right at sunrise, but does transformers in a sw, if the norwester blows over by the lids on the bins, and no body knows where you are, because its by the blue sky with a tree near it, and the tree is ripe with nutters... nuff said.
Fuck mate, hope your mates have taken your car keys off ya, you get caught driving like that and your rooted.
Ok, you win, I'll fix it:
Only the yeti will find yas, but only if it looks like a left that went right at sunrise, but does transformers in a sw, if the norwester blows over by the lids on the bins, and no body knows where you are, because its by the blue sky with a tree near it, and the tree is ripe with wise nutters... nuff said.
Benski, . If you're out there.... Yeah, it might've been the 27th (noosa swell)...... There was only about 6 of us out at Tea tree.... Freakn dangerous off the rocks that day - highish tide, massive swell.... Opted to paddle out from the beach. The outer jump off spot was basically a no go zone, with 6 foot walls of whitewater smashing all the way up to the cliff face....... Finger rock was getting swamped.... Anyway, caught about 4 absolute bombs.... Got one that reformed all the way in..... Though fuck this paddling, I'll give jumping off the finger a go...... Wrong!!!!!!! Was 3/4 of the way out on the rocks, and one of those "hidden last waves of the set" started to drain....... Fuck....... Surrounded.... General Custer..... Sprinted and jumped, but don't know if my leggy caught a barnacle, or if part of the wave explosion did something, but my board got slightly twisted out of my grip - a 5 foot vertical jump and wack,,,, rail in the jaw.... "blacked out" underwater for a millisecond.... dead set seeing stars like in a cartoon, no shit..... sounded like a bomb went off...... Anyway, underwater... thought "fuck this is serious"...... Fought the concussion and got to the surface, got to me board, and got out the back.... Felt a bit sick in the guts....... Time to assess. I couldn't feel my chin, like I actually couldn't feel it , as if a dentist went psycho with a needle over my whole jaw...... I then felt under my chin, the fleshy area between the chin and adams apple...... There was a hole.... my fingers kept going in deeper... I could nearly push them up into my mouth under my tongue..... I looked down and there was blood pissing out. My white rashy was red. A couple of blokes looked at it and their faces went white.......
But in true he man style, I caught a wave ( they were kind enough to call me in) and got to the beach... Was a fuckn good wave too...
Using my rashy to hold me chin together, me mate Rod (rip brother ;( ), and I started to walk back to the carpark... At the pot lookout, the shock wore off and the pain kicked in...... Fuck me....
Anyway.... still alive..... still being a c***...... Lived to tell the tale.... And how embarrassing would it've been to die surfing fuckn Noosa...... ;)
why does everyone always try and make out upsydaisy is on the roids?? Ok, he does have a small set of nuts, but people on roids are toned and have muscle definition. Obviously upsydaisy isn't on them.
Couple from 6 or 7 years ago
The last two are the same wave/session
I had sweaty palms just watching!
There were no takers though - the ski was just peeking into the void.
Fraser-Gorden, Bramfield training Classic stuff, that takes the cake for sure.
Grog-an , yes you are spot on there champ, looking at old Uppity Squat Fuck photo.Ol My God.
Baha Naaaaaaaaaaaa..
Rouby-Douby that first photo fuch ,,,,,,,,,:)
The thing I find with WA photos, is that they are so deep with colour and scarey looking GW (Grey Suit) stuff for some reason....:)
That first photo looks fucking amasing.
Wellymon posted an awesome lineup shot of a windswept break somewhere east of Kiwiland a while back. That got me thinking..... Now please excuse and forgive me if somewhere deep in the bowels of swellnets forums there is a similar thread, but perhaps bloggers here could post in their old (and new) lineup photos, or shots from memorable sessions.
And please don't "photoshop" them...... Personally, I despise photoshop. It's not real..... I love the rustic charm of real photography, even it's imperfections. I like the older photo's in picture magazine too, if ya get my drift..... nothing like a rough tattooed home girl, but that's another story ;)
I'll kick it off with Coolum bays, as good as it gets, circa late 90s, and a slightly more secret break , 2012, down here in apple land, which I wont name.......
Look closely, first photo of coolum, has guy on outer wave, second photo has 3rd bay kegging off it's nut, and tassie photo also has guy sweeping bottom turm on outside bomb...
