Unreal shot from Fiji. Guessing this is over the last day or so from the big South you guys had over East?

Yeah SR. Tim arrived in Sydney from Portugal on Monday and was on the first flight out Tuesday. Today is the big day, so guessing that’d be from yesterday arvo’s session
Ohhhhh man that was insane!! Hows the drone angle. Fark that looks more fun than what im doing right now.
Cheers Stu!

Amazing is there any video footage of it?
Tim should have that exact angle in a coming video edit
Wow, good thing the board didn't damage him. Scary.
Thanks udo. I don't have insta so not everything shows up for me in searches. Cheers.
Ok, thanks Jono.
Billy Kempers wotd shot has to be up there in the all time best photos ever imo......and he survived and kept surfing......wow
Beautiful picture, terrible quality, looks like a blown out GoPro still. If that's a video cap I'd love to see it.
It was taken on a phone, we thought the story it told overwrote the quality. I bet he wish it was taken on a proper camera.
That looks a lot nicer than the confused mess out front this morning!
Thanks Craig, spewing thought there may be a drone flyover for me to drool at, I'll dream over the pic instead. Haven't seen conditions like that in far too long, beautiful!
yeah the photo quality ain't great, but the entire image really is stunning. the dunes are pretty much untouched (no foot marks) & one guy out and a fun peak. That's what surf dreams are made of.
Yeah it really makes you take a second look at it. Beautiful scenes

Oh winny, there are none heading towards the ocean.
I like how this shot really strikes a chord with so many of us, clearly it's a beautiful photo.
And it feels unusual these days to have mobile dunes like that around this part of the world, unless you go to Moreton or Fraser or somewhere that hasn't been mined and "rehabiltated".
AndyM…..unless I’m mistaken those are the white granite sands of Southern Australia. I’d say somewhere West of the Bight, East of Esperance ? Maybe an offshore Southern island at a pinch ? Not chasing a location name in particular.
But the break looks like an East coast beachie?
Love a mystery. Particularly when it remains a mystery*.

You didn’t just Google Justin Edwards Surf Photos and see his shots from SW WA maybe?
You do realise SE Australia southern coastline has many areas with Devonian granite and beaches with fine white sand on the mainland and many of the Bass Strait islands.
Have you heard of the stepping stone type effect of granite islands joining Wilson’s Promontory to Tassie, just sayin. AW
Just a guess there fella. No need to get your nana knickers in a twist. I didn’t google someone to get fake knowledge to impress the likes of yourself.
I’ve driven across the bottom of Oz return probably a dozen or more times. Surfed / fished/ camped all the way. Lived at Esperance , Denmark, Augusta. Suggested it might be one of those offshore southern islands.
I could still be very wrong. Just speculating. But that fine white powder sand looks telling.
Still looks like an East coast sunrise with an East coast shaped wave.
Looks fun enough.

I’ve never got me knickers in a knot, baggy white fronts for me.
They are the fine white sands of SW Oz derived from granite and gneiss and basically presented in current form as squeaky clean white quartz -silicon dioxide (SiO2)
One can only imagine the weathering process for this oxide to be removed from its original parent rock material.
Fitzgerald River National Park and around East Mt,Barren has Kwongan Flora growing purely in this sand.
Nutrients come from the invisible organic coating around the surface of every grain of sand,
Proteaceous plants ( Banksias, Hakeas etc) have over millions of years evolved specialised roots (Proteoid) to breakdown the organic matter into a useable form
Biological world always finds a way.
Hope ya keeping well hidden inside those barrels. AW
just amazing. One of the best wotd shot’s I’ve seen…imo. It is very beautiful.
Surfing offers more beautiful moments than any other sport.
Some subtle, some sort of precious and jewel like, some moody, some powerful, some awe inspiring.
Today's is subtle and a multi faceted jewel to admire.
It's just so inviting.
You can hear the squeak of that white quartz sand underfoot, feel that warm water and imagine backdooring that peak.
It's exactly where you want to be, a complete magic moment.
perfect everything, plus the long shadows make you feel a relief, not blazing midday hot - well done finding undisturbed sand for the shot.
AW - “ You didn’t just Google Justin Edwards Surf Photos ”
Of course I thought about it, but I figured in this case, the dream was worth more than the fact.
I preferred the (most likely erroneous) fantasy of south-east Queensland offshore island winter perfection.

Frog. Very sage words, nice.AW
Move over royal family photoshop scandal I think today’s features a disconnect between the wave and menacing background in tone/light!
Nah checks out ok with me G.S. Late arvo Kirra light gets that brilliant reflection, late summer so sun fairly West by SW, probably straight above Kirra Hotel,(assuming this is just past big groyne) maybe 3-4pmish. Great pic.
Geez, Slabb by name, slab by nature.
Different foam ball same outcome.
I’d go with the caption -“departing platform 9 3/4 on the Kirra express”
Phwoar. Damn good effort to get down and into that thing....then....vaporized!!

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.
