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.

Woah, SG. You can’t advocate for going right in these forums!

x3 on Zen’s idea

lostdoggy Wednesday, 20 Oct 2021 at 07:56 am

I'm assuming you hate going backhand, SG, if you choose to go right on that peak.

san Guine Wednesday, 20 Oct 2021 at 08:00 am

Old knees lostdoggy, pig dogging days well behind me.Haha.

gsco Wednesday, 20 Oct 2021 at 08:44 am

Beautiful pic, will be mind surfing that peak all day. Not sure which way I’d go though, the left looks nice

Same, it reminds me a lot of one of my favourite spots.

Split the peak. I'll go right!

No worries , I'll go left.

The empty line up shots lately have made for some awesome mind surfing . Being a legend in my own bath time I must say that I have been shredding them all.

I really like this Steve Arklay guys photo's, they always have a real uniqueness to them no matter where they are shot from land or water, it always makes your either feel like you are there or want to be there.

He has a very good eye.

Agree. Like all good photographers, Steve has a signature style, usually identifiable before you read the photo credit.

if he stomped that cross bone air I would say it is the most styled out air photo I have ever seen photographed on a surfboard in history, period. Very fuckin nice

goofyfoot Saturday, 23 Oct 2021 at 08:17 am

looks in complete control doesn't he

blackers Saturday, 23 Oct 2021 at 09:08 am

Unreal wave Jake Osman, toying with a bomb as always!

Wow what a canvas. Does it get much more beautiful?

Hutchy 19 Monday, 25 Oct 2021 at 07:57 am

Photo inspired me , for the first time , to write a comment on this thread .

Beautiful . Said to me -" wish you were here ".

I wonder where it was taken ?

Thanks SN .

Today's pic is unreal!! One in a million capture of light and mood and feel. Such a sick photo. I'd be losing it if i took a pic like that. Hats off Mike Reid and nice poise Mr Hughy!!

harrycoopr Friday, 29 Oct 2021 at 08:39 pm

Must be cold there...thats some serious rubber!!!

lostdoggy Friday, 29 Oct 2021 at 08:53 pm

The northern beaches aren’t that cold, Harry.

Maybe its just the lack of beer gut then. Hard to get into my xl these days

Sprout Saturday, 30 Oct 2021 at 04:13 pm

Daaamn, I'd pay for that right now.

blackers Wednesday, 3 Nov 2021 at 10:58 am

Nice WOTD. Who needs Kelly's tub?

Blowin Thursday, 4 Nov 2021 at 07:51 am

Tasty little pit ridden with good style. Plus it’s a left which is always the better option.

Two thumbs up.

Craig Thursday, 4 Nov 2021 at 08:13 am

Yeah, a beautiful pitted olive.

zenagain Thursday, 4 Nov 2021 at 09:21 am

Cool analogy.

Hutchy 19 Friday, 5 Nov 2021 at 06:59 am

I am sure that most of the Indo locals are looking forward to the next Aussie invasion .

The reaction in the photo could be that there are waves like this coming through all the time . Or , that was the only wave that size that has popped out of nowhere .

Craig Thursday, 11 Nov 2021 at 08:14 am

Today's is incredible. That light and that anticipation.

Beat me to it VJ, it was only the mist/haze that made me look a little closer. Nice set up.

ilikelamb Tuesday, 16 Nov 2021 at 08:57 am

I love this angle, brings back all the memories of being happy to get smashed so someone else has a clear path for a sick turn.
Still would have preferred to sneak under the lip though. Haha.

GuySmiley Thursday, 18 Nov 2021 at 10:06 pm

Very tasty is today’s I can’t believe it hasn’t been already commented on!

groundswell Friday, 19 Nov 2021 at 08:54 am

I like todays as its the only vert move i can do on my backhand. Forehand they aren't easy but i mostly ride a fish down the line.

Patrick Tuesday, 23 Nov 2021 at 09:59 am

Cool. Did he stick it?

Cockee Tuesday, 23 Nov 2021 at 07:09 pm

Can't imagine it was Paddy. When my foot is that far to the rail it slides off. And I rip.

blackers Friday, 26 Nov 2021 at 12:41 pm

It's a fun wave when it's like that, but I'm thinking that the crowd has been photoshopped out.
On that subject, Tom Constant's board in yesterday's WOTD appears to be missing in action.

stunet Friday, 26 Nov 2021 at 02:08 pm

I was surprised by the lack of comments about yesterday's photo. I thought it was great.

gragagan Friday, 26 Nov 2021 at 02:20 pm

Almost commented half a dozen times about yesterdays photo. What is it, a foil with no board?
Great photo btw.

overthefalls Friday, 26 Nov 2021 at 02:20 pm

Where was the board yesterday's photo?

Craig Friday, 26 Nov 2021 at 02:21 pm

Foil.

Yeah Blackers I was wondering about the lack of crowd.

Great photo anyway.

It’s astounding Stu, had me baffled. I thought the foot strap and grip (?) was a drone flying by.
And thanks Craig.

Paddy - accepting a facebook/photog claim is like accepting that Tim Paine made the decision to step away from cricket himself.

Hmmm... now that you mention it, and the more I think about it, I'm not convinced any of the wave of the day pics are even real. Apparently you can download photoshop for nothing via torrent. Just sayin...
