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.

Bnkref Wednesday, 21 Oct 2020 at 05:16 pm

For sure. Today's is a stark contrast to those winter wedgy a-frames.

factotum Friday, 23 Oct 2020 at 10:59 am

Where's the herd?

Great angle from PJ today, reminded me of some horror rock offs I have seen there in the 80's no doubt many more since then.

velocityjohnno Friday, 23 Oct 2020 at 09:47 pm

Yep, I've done that one as a rock off.

MidWestMonger Saturday, 24 Oct 2020 at 09:15 am

I once did that rock off , last step was on a barnacle that took a small core out of my big toe. No turning back as you need to get out quick. Knew it wasn’t good so paddled round for one in, caught one and struggled to keep upright, paddled in, 15 minute session

today's a goodie

Solitude Monday, 26 Oct 2020 at 10:57 am

Magic. How's the swell passing by on the horizon?

Westofthelake Monday, 26 Oct 2020 at 08:05 pm

Magic indeed.

Jeez today's is what dreams are made of, also nightmares.

zenagain Friday, 30 Oct 2020 at 10:36 am

It's a beautiful shot agreed. Steve Arklay nailing all the angles recently.

This one no exception.

GuySmiley Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 11:23 am

I can’t believe it’s nearly midday and no one has commented on today’s cracker, 10/10 Craig

Bnkref Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 11:50 am

Yep. So good Craig. Such a fun wave.

Reminds me of a spot in Java. Down the road from big name spot in the region.

leniam Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 12:14 pm

Yep, that looks perfect. A-frame, not many people. Can't be Qld.

san Guine Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 12:18 pm

I'm sure it's not, but WOTD reminds me of Back beach in New Plymouth..

Bnkref Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 01:30 pm

It’s in the southern part of Oz

velocityjohnno Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 01:51 pm

for a sec I thought Craig had snuck into covidtoria, snuck through the ring of steel, out of it again, and got a pic somewhere local, then escaped through the ring of steel and back to the land of keno, meat tray raffles and stop-start rugby again. But maybe it is somewhere else.

zenagain Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 02:51 pm

I was going to comment earlier but been flat out all morning.

Cracking shot of a cracking line-up. Looks like a ton of fun.

indo-dreaming Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 03:04 pm

Does look fun, looks similar to my local on a fun day.

GuySmiley Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 03:07 pm

info’s dreaming- haha

indo-dreaming Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 06:02 pm

Great so now i can't even make a positive comment on WOTD with out you trolling me with some lame troll that you would expect from a 16 boy...seriously why bother...how old are you?....50+?

Bnkref Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 06:11 pm

VJ it’s not here. I’m not sure where you had in mind that looks like that?

stanfrance Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 06:34 pm

Let’s just leave it at that guys

GuySmiley Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 06:42 pm

settle down buttercup, was thinking I've surfed your neck of the woods many times, seen it break good but not without massive currents but as you got your heckles up in a world exclusive I've decided to post a photo of you paddling out at your local ......

Screen-Shot-2020-10-31-at-6-36-46-pm

You ole goat fancier you.

Amen.

blackers Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 07:42 pm

Nice work Guy a nod to Swellnet's past.

zenagain Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 07:48 pm

Is that Kelly in the front?

silentp Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 08:01 pm

If it's where I think it is it has a pretty heavy shorebreak, claimed a few boards back in the 80's

I focus Saturday, 31 Oct 2020 at 09:16 pm

Yeah absolute cracking shot Craig great frame, love the spray coming off the back of a glass barrel.

Zen spat a mouth full of red wine over the screen with that comment cheers bloke.

Craig Sunday, 1 Nov 2020 at 05:09 pm

Thanks guys, was such a sick arvo session, a little slow but when the sets came, such great shape on the right. The left was better, smaller the next day.

Hiccups Wednesday, 4 Nov 2020 at 04:31 pm

Love today's Joel Fitz photo. Still a style master .

velocityjohnno Wednesday, 4 Nov 2020 at 04:47 pm

Agree Mr Hiccups

Such nice flow

Hiccups Wednesday, 4 Nov 2020 at 04:56 pm

VCJ, that link just linked me to another vid of Joel and Kye surfing J-Bay. There's a voiceover where Kye refers to the old man as "TF". That tickled my funny bone.

velocityjohnno Wednesday, 4 Nov 2020 at 05:36 pm

Yep, it goes beyond the family into legend reference! Kye was really helpful when we were trying to source an original fin for a survivor HB wing swallow we have. Those clips they post via HB/Raisedbywolves show some really nice, fast, flowing surfing, with modern interpretations of the Rainbow boards. Still relevant and pleasing to watch. And fast.

Ray Shirlaw Thursday, 5 Nov 2020 at 07:32 am

Well played Davey. Very well played....

Bnkref Thursday, 5 Nov 2020 at 04:02 pm

Good one to dream about. Looks like it's racing down the line quickly.

If it's where I think it is, I was meant to be there in August. Can't see it happening next year..

Nick Bone Tuesday, 10 Nov 2020 at 07:45 am

Does this musical group come up a bit in your playlist Stu?

Edit: taken from the lookout where there are no scrubs?

stunet Tuesday, 10 Nov 2020 at 07:59 am

We've all got our guilty pleasures, Bone.

Where was that shot taken Craig?

I 'aint 2 proud 2 beg.

Craig Tuesday, 10 Nov 2020 at 08:31 am

Just up from Sydney, Somersby Falls.

zenagain Tuesday, 10 Nov 2020 at 09:21 am

Certainly not an Unpretty spot.

Nice.

Ape Anonymous Wednesday, 11 Nov 2020 at 11:23 am

Jesus fuck!
Look at the size of that mother!!
Is that Tasmania?

Bnkref Wednesday, 11 Nov 2020 at 01:55 pm

If not for the foreground, I would have said Ocean Beach

Nick Bone Saturday, 14 Nov 2020 at 07:13 am

Sick

zenagain Saturday, 14 Nov 2020 at 08:13 am

Totally.

Full tilt!

Westofthelake Saturday, 14 Nov 2020 at 08:56 am

Powering! Thruster or quaddie I wonder?

Cetus Saturday, 14 Nov 2020 at 12:29 pm

Faaaark!

factotum Thursday, 19 Nov 2020 at 10:20 am

Nice pic of a fat wave, Smythy.

Or is that a phat wave?

Only participants know for sure...

Bnkref Thursday, 19 Nov 2020 at 11:28 am

Love today's.

Been a long time for me, but I'd be calling it phat.

What month was that? Wouldn't have been any time recently.

Fraser G Thursday, 19 Nov 2020 at 11:42 am

How's the left....haha I'm calling 2008
