Chip shot takeoffs and undersucking freefalls.

Head-high waves that double in size down the line.

A sandbar that's here today and washed away tomorrow.

Watch the bros Florence and friends make hay over sand.

sun screen job outta 10?

I was just thinking that too, although the wave provided most of the slop and the slap that day...

Reckon it's the result of sun protection as an afterthought. Trying to rub cream onto already wet skin.

Yeah nah, someone buy the kid a rashie

Gowsa Wednesday, 17 Feb 2021 at 11:21 am new

Sand in your undies for days after that...

Go pro in mouth. Ruins the clip from land, and rarely does the footage look good anyway. Besides that, very good.

You'd wanna be getting free surfboards if you're gunna surf that sorta stuff.

Best 4 minutes of my day

Reminds me of Rabbit Hill around Yallingup area. Just as deadly sucking, slamming closeouts.

Agree, also has a bit of Mooloolaba shorey on a big ENE swell. Fun a lid as a young bloke not on my backhand as an old bloke!

The double up @ 2.45 does it for me.

Big skill being able to constantly survive this

Garryh Wednesday, 17 Feb 2021 at 02:54 pm new

what is the technique for bailing on a wave (whilst in the barrel) with a lip that thick?

Winki-outlier Sunday, 28 Feb 2021 at 09:17 am new

Dive down where you think the lip will impact. By the time you get there wave has moved forward and you twist n go back under wave

wonder how many toob rides JJF has had this winter?

have to be thousands, surely.

How quick on his feet is he? Amazing.

The amount of sunscreen could have bought him a rashie. I hate piling on sunscreen.

I can confidently say I would make none of those drops.....
I tried surfing a rip bowl which was about a quarter of that intensity......every time pitched into the flats

Westofthelake Wednesday, 17 Feb 2021 at 06:22 pm new

Like Joey said.

Everyone knows super-sucking-rip-bowls are like 'black runs'.

It's just that the pros like JJF make them appear green.

I love seeing waves like this surfed well, but also admit to enjoying seeing surfers at this level getting flogged a little more. Oh, to be 23 and bullet-proof again.

Optimist Friday, 19 Feb 2021 at 05:57 am new

We used to call that game "Commandos" when we were young.....see who could last longest and get the best flogging.

Solitude Friday, 19 Feb 2021 at 06:50 am new

Can you imagine how full on it is if Jack Robbo saying he’s scared?

san Guine Friday, 19 Feb 2021 at 08:49 am new

Notwithstanding JJF's undoubted ability, all I can think about is spinal injuries. Maybe I'm just getting old or more risk averse, or both!
