Winki on Wednesday - video

Stu Nettle (stunet)
Swellnet Dispatch

The lines of swell are strong, the surface conditions clean, while a sizable crew work the gentleman's  shift last Wednesday at Winkipop.

Drone footage by Mike Carter-Key, who tucked into a few nice ones himself on the same day.

thank you we are trying to male it a better world ...
hows the capturing of the blow backs of spray ??? Magic...

Mickeys is rekindling the same rush/spirit we got from the Brighton Town Hall riots back in the day - when Alby Falzon and Bob Evans used to peddle their wares around the country side inspiring kids into the surfing family....Well done Mickey...droning and go pros have provided an additional dimension to our already proud culture of capturing and sharing the art and everything else it offers.....keep innovating.. Mickey. .fuck the cost of crashed drones in getting there....

Sorry, I was not impressed by this vid. Choppy editing, 2-second shots, etc.
It might be ok for those people whose attention span is limited to a few seconds but for the rest of us please show us surfing, not short MTV video hits.
"Surfing" is the paddle in > takeoff > ride > flick-off/straighten-out/wipeout.
It's not "oh, I'm on the wave, how did I get here, what will I do now, oh my 2 seconds is over".
And if you have to annoy us with a drone, use it to get a different angle, not just the same angle that we get from the cliff!

Wow no wonder the boys at Surf League want to get their hands on this. That is about as good as Winki gets (which is bloody good) no shortage of punters either. Imagine the worlds best tearing into this would be an amazing contest wave. I am really looking forward to Rio now.

Hey Crip
Give the guy a break,,,you're got to walk before you run, we're not all born ""out of the womb"" Spielbergs like you, have you actually tried doing it ? But I am sure the budding film maker will take on your comments to improve his next clip..
I just thank him'for doing it in the first place it provided a different and enjoyable dimension to review and analyse the waves of the day.

Hey Stu.....

Maybe its timely to explore or post an article about renown local enforces ..over the years and where are they now, I think Southey is short of creative ideas and I want to help him in his career development cus, it appears his not doing much with his life at the moment , I vote Wally Tibbles as one of my favourites...he surfed on the east coast and beyond ..Hope that's not giving to much away Mr Southey....

Barnard Tuesday, 10 May 2016 at 10:52 pm new

Hey Southey ....
Join the forces ...go to your pick ..Syria, Afganistan, Iran, Iraq,,,

Go step on an IDU...

I think before you begin to raise your foot...

Am I going to live or die in the next 3 seconds...

Be purposeful in your life ......

Barnard Tuesday, 10 May 2016 at 10:58 pm new

Free advice ...
examine where you have been..
examine where your at...
examine where you want to be in the future...

see there's value in swellnet ...

you get free philosophical lessons...

..from those that have gone before...

southey Tuesday, 10 May 2016 at 11:07 pm new

I have good friends that are the pointy end of the arrow . I recognise this value .

Barnard Friday, 13 May 2016 at 09:22 pm new

Hey I am still waiting for a response about "knobs "as defined by u...

I've told a few friends about your exploits and intentions ...and they are not very happy ..

So where are we at with this issue,..

Are you prepared to continue harassing Photographers that are my friends ...

..........we have no problems about mobilisation....

otherwise quell your opinion's and be more realistic ..

Ps those guys goes in Hi Vise jackets keeping Torquay nice and presentable, might take offence to your comments about them being mentally deficient....

Southey

Am Still waiting for your position...and response ...

The 1st wave of ex Tamils Taxi drivers... are just dying to meet you..

????????????????????.

ting

Barnard Tuesday, 10 May 2016 at 11:59 pm new

Hey Mr Southey

Whilst I was at the taxi protest I managed to convince some ex Tamil drivers of a new occupational opportunity...Protective Services ..its the new growth industry ..

Me and every photographer that has walked this earth or have been harassed by people like you with some warped view of ownership of the world. Will be sponsoring our new protective services unit... I think I will go for crowd funding ...see how you deal with that.. Tamils are a great import to a cultural diverse society that quells and extinguishers the old white Australia policy...I am sure our aboriginal founders will appreciate that...

Barnard Wednesday, 11 May 2016 at 12:07 am new

Hey Southey

What do I have to say to convince you its ""a new world order""...a media world , you can go live through out the world in 30 secs flat and be on American TV by breakfast ... why don't you make your mark on the world ... why be constraint by swellnets reach...

Bootablackdog Thursday, 12 May 2016 at 10:31 am new

looking to get some footage of this day, could mike contact me cheers

Barnard Saturday, 14 May 2016 at 03:21 am new

he will , thank you for your appreciation...

inzider Thursday, 12 May 2016 at 10:47 am new

barnard you are a knob who really has two clues.
lets change the context
Awesome powder day up the hill, you and your mates have a good stash out back somwhere and the main face is tracked by the punters. then you have a brilliant idea to tell all the punters in the liftline where your stash is, but alas you cant workout why when you return to your stash it too is tracked out. Fuckin muppet.

Barnard Saturday, 14 May 2016 at 02:29 am new

I am just about to change the face of the earth...wot are you up to..

invented anything lately ......

its easy to talk........ its another thing to deliver ..

grasshopper you have no idea...
..
watch the space ...

Barnard Saturday, 14 May 2016 at 02:40 am new

Hey dickhead see below...

Surfers have influence ...make it count to improve the world....

stop wasting your time on the internet and porno sites...

sypkan Thursday, 12 May 2016 at 01:14 pm new

fucken muppet alright

dudes like bernard (cleaely with a vested interest) do my head in, surfing has a long developed culture that has looked after itself rather well considering. your "new world order" is a flash in the pan, and what follows is up for debate. you have a very narrow view of this debate. try to think beyond bernard's bubble

plenty of crew feel the same as southey but say nothing because as these threads show you cannot win. the conversation just reveals more and more. thankfully many SA sufers have learnt not to engage. on the other hand, the vicco threads are hilarious, special kind of dude those Melbourne surfers

this whole debate does my head in, fishos have a similar culture to surfing, look after your spots and all that, yet somehow over recent history fishing has developed an uncountable number of tv shows without blowing every great spot around the country. surfing however has developed very differently with every two bit moron trying to sell out spaces. probably because no one really cares about surfing and never will, so it's stuck on the internet medium with small fries all trying to outdo each other.

just because you've got a camera doesn't make you an expert, it makes you a marketer with a vested interest that warps your perspective

Barnard Saturday, 14 May 2016 at 02:30 am new

How old are you .......and how.......experienced are you ..wot have you done to change the planet..?.

Barnard Saturday, 14 May 2016 at 02:32 am new
