I heart WOTD
Ollie Dousset, deadset legend. Wave of consequence on a board of serious dimensions. Love it.
That board looks like a barge in the photo. Absolutely knifing the rail though, does anyone have an idea on the dimensions of that board?

Also very good detective work.
My mate said to me when i first rocked up there on a huge swell "looks like pipe" i said "looks heavier than chopes" but at least if your too deep here you can choose to go right. But i dont know how the best big wave paddle surfers can knife into waves such as wave of the day.Looks impossible.
My mate years ago paddled out with a $4-5000 waterproof digital camera and took some great shots then got cleaned up by a 20 foot plus bomb., Lost his camera and nearly drowned. Found his camera luckily and sold all the footage telling the mag it was SW WA secret bombie. He made about $8000 out of that photo shoot.
Whoops talking about yesterdays wave of the day...got no idea where this one is.
@groundswell , I dug up some old photos of up the road from you , a solo sesh I had in 82 and a young lumo bags a couple fish. 
Stylin SF, also Lumo still has the same hair colour haha...amazing how it pretty much didnt change at the station untill covid hit.
I don't know sprout i reckon on a desert storm 8'6 you could get plenty of waves out there..maybe a slingshot or orange gun on the front, good times.
Oh sorry GS, Radiohead reference from today's one. The caption popped the music straight in my head. What a song. What an album. What a band. ... But yeah I like to think I'd give that a go haha.
No dramas Sprout, personally back in my day would have preferred to surf yesterdays wave of the day. but at the moment maybe not. It could be so many places too which is why the photo is so intriguing!

By the way SF do you have a nick name i can tell lumo you remember him and said gday?
also anyone else who lives in Kalbarri? Maybe Steve Stitches? or Bretty Barrel?
no harm in guessing todays shot? Dee why point although ive never been there, just seems like it.
So that answers my question from a few days back, Chicken Run did fire up ;)
Found it on google maps pretty quick.
It's a lot greener than when the google guy was there.
Classic armchair ride over the falls in todays shot.
Might as well relax , put your feet up, take a deep breath and enjoy the view ,,

Todays quote made me smile if you know the wave.
thanks mate, glad someone noticed.
Straight outta Bass Straight
Is a brotha that is smothered in rubber
And make ya wish ya never come here
Dangerous motherfuckers raising hell
And if they ever get caught inside, they will bail
See, they don't give a fuck, that's the problem
They see a motherfuckin person, They don't dodge them
Hardly smart, lay low, go in for a while
And when they see that person pass, they smile
To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showin of a kook drivin
But don't know where the fuck he's going, just rollin
Lookin for a wave they call easy
But when the waves crash, they all get queazy
Ruthless! Never seen like a shark in the dark
Except when I pullback, see I'll get over the hesitation
And hear the scream of the one who got the hollow wave penetration
Give a little gust of wind and I'm jettin
But leave a memory, that ill be forgettin
So what about the person who got shacked? Fuck em!
You think I give a damn about a them? I keep trucking
This is the autobiography of the Bells, and if you ever come to hells
You'll be by a stupid dope brotha who will smothered in rubber
Word to the motherfucker, straight outta Bass Straight
Ooooh! great photo!!!.. or more accurately.. "Photo of a great image"...im a trillion miles from there&cant help but feel for the Surfcoast locals...Australias most recogniseable line-up...going off with NoCuntOut. We know where this is headed...how can u sleep at night... Ffs use some artistic liscence Flip the image&use a Nom de Plume
Another world. Another time. In the age of wonder...
Haven't thought about them in a very long time, what a great album.
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.
