Skeletons and donkeys - videos

Stu Nettle (stunet)
Swellnet Dispatch

All the solo selfie runs from the last swell at Skeleton Bay AKA Donkey Bay have been exhausted and now it's time for compilation clips. This edit is 100% drone footage but the Donkey is one wave where a filmer can get away with it, the sheer scope of the wave gets lost on a lone cameramen working a tripod from the sand.

There's some great barrel work to observe here. What men with high waistbands used to call 'trim' - adjusting speed to stay near the pocket of the wave - is employed to stellar effect with two handed stalls followed by 3G accleration. The result being max time under the porch.

Also, a quick heads up from your friends at Swellnet: skip the prelude - unless special FX and dancefloor kick-offs are your thing - and hit the 50 sec. mark.
