Southeast Queensland is warming the engines for a long run of east swell. Forerunners began stirring the sand yesterday, however it wasn't till this morning that the energy coalesced into long lines.
And while it's not yet running on Avgas, the swell has a ways to run with many fluctuations still to come. Pace yourself, people.
"That board felt like the starting point for a new life."
The inner mechanics of Russell's mind.
Sniffing out the bounty on land and at sea.
From a day with a low wave count yet high consequence.
Like a hundred social media clips joined together but not on social media.
Seeking darkness on a sunny day.
And Matahi lifts the bar yet again.
Bite size humans in king size waves.

Mick ripping. Last wave is so sick.
Mick best on ground as always. Bank still looks shit though, very short waves for this size and these conditions
That bank looks a LOT better than anything I've seen in the flesh for a fucken long time..............
Lol . Yeah we do get spoilt here
Wish we had some shitty banks like that on Sunny Coast!! :)
nice waves
Nice example of including the whole break in the clip. As someone who has never surfed it - it's pretty eye opening seeing it in action.
I get that most clips want to obscure the location and focus tight on the wave.
Pulled back shots are great and way underused. Slow motion is way overused.
Photographers seem stuck in their own little bubble sometimes focusing on their peer approval.
Thank God for Craig Halstead, always on it with great cinematography. good boy.
Is it actually worth paddling out there for a wave?
What's the strike rate per hour say?
No
Average punter 1-2 waves +/- being dropped in on for both
I think I got 3 per hour, had a couple of people drop in on all waves, surfed like a kook so probably couldn’t expect much more. The average for set waves was 4 surfers per wave. Despite all that I had very low expectations and had been out of the water with a bad back for 5 months and I enjoyed myself. If I just had a bit of paddle fitness I would have snagged a couple of gems as there were a lot of people out there without much of a clue
The lefts are a crack up .. great to see..
I can handle a crowd like that for a few sand bottom barrels like that......sigh.
Awesome waves, some wicked skills, good rocking tune too!
Fuck work
Has covid sent all Brazos / tourists home? Looks less kayotic or is it figment of my hallucination
Super chaotic and heaps of Brazos when I was out but not the worst I’ve ever seen it
how good is the line in that song "my body is a temple, on the weekends it's a warehouse", awesome bumper sticker lyricism.
