As good as the local gets...







That looks like a point break to me - Dixon never looked that good when I lived in Newy Well I am assuming that is Dixon - but things can be deceiving when they look like that !


Yeah mate sure is, probably never see it like that again.. That is form Monday, Monday was about as big as i have seen it hold, Tuesday was a bit smaller and even better, yesterday was solid and barreling its tits off.

Your old haunts would have been firing too.

A bloke I know spent most of the weekend trying to find a co-driver to drive up to NSW from Torquay with no luck...he was so despondent he had to take a
Mental health day and spent 6 hours surfing 3 foot rights yesterday...

SP - great to see you saw it in all its glory - hope you managed to snag a few. Looked far to big for a few days there. Just for men with big gonads !


This is a nice clip and background info - the guy dropping in is the guy from the big wave posted earlier

So it was a deliberate drop in then?
Yeah I got called into it by Al. I was hoping he wasnt in the spot 'cos it was a good one but then he called me 'cos we'd already been talking about getting a party wave. It ended up being a dream result. I thought I'd burned him at one stage, that he wasn't gonna make it through that foam but he made it through like a champion.

He did well. When your tail slid I thought you'd end up on top of him.
Yeah, but it ended up well. We gave each other a hug down on the beach.

Dicko was the best I have seen in the 36 years I have surfed there.

There were over 60 surfers in a line between Pogos and the Cliff.

It was peaking up to over double head height, and they were taking off under the lip and just pulling in. Absolutely first class.

And way out of my league. :(

Hey TC, did you look at the break 100m to the left of where you took this from, it will be a bit smaller, but not a fat as main Shelly.

Did check dude but wasn't really working, tide too high. River mouth was nearly on too... Morning on the low incoming tide was ripper apparently... But some of us have to work mate so we can't always surf when is ideal...

What are you doing on here anyway, your full time Sup now? Too many tools in the SUP room bro

Fun little wave at the lane today. Tried to get into cooly but thought better of it once I saw the traffic. Looking back on it, I shouldn't have even tried.

was going to hit the alley but too crowded so went to billabong factory outlet and scored a new steamer with 70% voucher from 500 bucks roughly down to $119 Excel latest model, looks like swell will pick up tomorrow so should spread the crowd out a bit

So it's been of the hook then? That's all that needed to be said - the Scotty version.

Fair to say I have huge envy right now !

I figured something was up,we've had waves every week since Pup arrived I've only seen him once,maybe our waves are crap compared to WA or maybe ?

Oh it gets better. He went with the prez and they both wrote it off as unsurfable (we need a roll on my back laughing emoticon )

So who knows...... Maybe their shakras were out

Thought you might have noticed that when he was here mate...good conditions for someone who rides a 666 all the time & for people who ride either a SB/LB/666 are variably different by a huge degree................Here's some of those emoticons you were chasing

& another & why not

I was in the water but didn't get a wave. Does that count as a surf?

I saw two snapped boards, two snapped leggies, a guy with a nasty gash above his eye and another guy with a really deep gash to his foot that left lumps of congealed blood up the stairs. Me? I had a wave break about 15m in front of me, bailed the board, and still got slammed into the bottom. I went in and spent the next five minutes spewing on my hands and knees on the beach. It was pretty bloody good out there though. It's just that I wasn't.




It was a 2m swell.
