I heart WOTD
Ohhhh myyy gawwwwwdddd.
How do you even survive that shit. Doesn’t being in a lip like that blow out your joints on detonation??
Not good, worst case scenario, well that or doing that sitting on your board still :o
Brings back memories that shot, i use to park my old Kombie camper van in the bush just to right out of the pic, down the old track and sleep down there, although id spend most days hanging out and surfing the much better point just north.
and today. magic bowl & full commitment seeing how hollow that looks
hey GF, does that wave look familiar to you on the MP? Its looking like something local maybe.
I would try to explain Blowin but nah, you wouldn't get it. I'll just say Dee Why Surfing Fraternity ....... and that last word actually means something!
I understand , BB. I’m just taking the piss. Even though I imagine the waves actually are 89 percent dogshit , I’m sure it’s a cool place to live.
Yep. Amazing amount of sand there at the moment, and the reports on the ground say the Rainbow/Greenmount section is A1.
Life is so cruel sometimes, Straddie, Burleigh, The Alley, Super Bank even D-Bah all right in a concrete jungle, imagine if they were down near crescent head or somewhere similar.
Yes i know some are better because of man, but still.
ID, the equivalents of those waves do exist away from the concrete jungle.
I know that but in Australia the closest we come is the Byron to Ballina stretch, BTW i forgot Kirra....
"ID, the equivalents of those waves do exist away from the concrete jungle."
Not really, unfortunately.
There's nothing remotely like the Superbank anywhere else in Aus.
Few novelty waves around that have their day once in a blue moon but nothing that matches it for perfection, hollowness and consistency.
Agree Freeride,
On any given swell the superbank is the most likely spot on the whole SEQLD/NNSW coast to have the biggest size, have a decent sandbank, and be the cleanest.
My guess is that the bay is just big enough to cause the swells to refract and align themselves, but not so big as to be in the swell shadow. (probably its NE orientation helps that). And somehow the banks are less susceptible to be totally destroyed by storms (aside from off the top at snapper).
And the Tweed Topography always bends the winds southerly in the mornings when the rest of the GC is already blowing from the ESE.
Its a magic set-up. not coincidence.
The known knowns , the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns !!!
How could I forget! That would fall into the Known Knowns category.
If someone doesn't at least acknowledge the grass/rush pun them I'm gonna swear off botanic wordplay for good.
Hahaha...no don't stop...I always look forward to the daily comment as much as the photo...
Pretty weak Stu - my "listicle" joke the other day was way better.
Nice, but IMO those three parellel leaning trees are the more prominent feature.
Geezus! How good does that shot look! You'd swear it was a point break.
Clean , clear water with the sun shining makes any surf that much better. Add a pretty reef and you’re already half way to heaven before you’ve caught a wave.
Nice..very lucky chap to still be with us and able to surf
Boots podcast on Hurly Burly.
The same carpark angle as every other photo taken of the place but the majesty of it never gets old!
The wave of the day does it for me big time. Nice work Steen Barnes , Shaun Anderson and Swellnet.
In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.
