I always thought she had it all and this edit proves it. The look, the water talent, the home space she comes from & a great family up bringing.

That's a straight up NW tourism add.
Why do it when most quality surf spots in Australia are groaning under the load of tourists and a growing local population. It seems pretty blatant to me and I don't understand why people need to show us how good it is....just be happy and don't make video's.

I don't know which hill she was on when she did that 360 and saw no one but it certainly wasn't at the bluff or that other break up the road. Both camps packed to capacity for the whole season last year. The famous NW etiquette slowly disappearing, being replaced by carloads of frothers whose only knowledge of the break is to paddle their 6'5" DHD up the inside.

I love how the edit is done so it looks there is literally no one else in the water too. Not a single soul out on the days she was surfing.

That's it- I'm packing up stumps and heading over. Might bring the wife, my kids and dog, and a few mates!!
Got room for a few more over there?
Looks too good to refuse.

I’ve yearned my whole life to live somewhere like that, but here I am still stuck in the blocked sewer that is Sydney. I’m an idiot. Can we rewind!? Lucky girl making the most...with talent to boot. I used to be able to escape, but so hard these days. It’s like they’re waiting in the bushes for someone to paddle out! Now this fucking virus. Leave them alone and don’t take your diseases over there. Great video. Just watch it and be jealous from afar.

Going there is a big mission. Good place, but true, there are more hassling types going there. People with lots of money and privilege, who think they can TAKE whatever they want. I had a guy up there years ago from another state just paddle continuously inside me when there was just no need, and he took as much as he could, but it was never enough! I had a couple of words with him about his greedy attitude. I have even met guys in Victoria who reckon they have territorial rights up there - they are so arrogant! Haha, they are so f%#} in the head - so bent on their own egos they cannot even share the simple joy of a place like that that has existed millions of years before them and will do so millions of years after they have perished. These places are owned by no one - they are sacred. Something has to stop about the modernisation/commercialisation attitude with surfing. There is no entitlement, no ownership, we are talking about our great Mother Nature.

I appreciate the sentiment in your post mate and having been over there a handful of times I can relate.
But you were pretty ripped when you posted that, weren't ya.

Haha, yeah mate, that’s probably what people mean when they say I rip! Or maybe they are ripped, and that’s why they say it... but seriously, you can test my idea by just chatting to a local non surfer - they are salt of the earth, they all stand in awe of the beauty of the place and there is an earthiness about them - I have lived in the north of WA and it’s a simple down to earth thing. The rich privileged pricks taking up surfing with all of their other resources do have the stench of ego and entitlement. The locals can spot it a mile off. These parasites can’t get over themselves to see the beauty around them, much less to share the vision of it with their fellow man. By the time they come around to even stop stressing about taking everything they can get, it’s time to go somewhere else so they can take there as well. There is no give and take, only take. These people make themselves prominent in places like Indo too and elsewhere. I’m more than a little bit over them. And I don’t think you can divorce the commercialisation of surfing from this equation. These people think that their money can buy them anything. But it can’t. They don’t even enjoy themeselve’s in the water which is obvious from their aggressive and selfish behaviour. They just upset other people who are more tuned in to nature and to the proper balance of things. But yeah, ripped, haha, high compliment!!

I love it when it's double head n smoking and three little girls paddle out with different colour zinc on each of their faces smiling and laughing. Then proceed to get toobed. Makes me smile.
