Caught this late afternoon run off the rocks at Gracetown WA. Overcast, rainy and low light but pics not too bad.

That's Huzzas or Boris's inside South Point; North Point would be big and onshore,

Nice wave

Sadly where the rock face collapsed about 12-13 years ago and killed a group of kids and parents watching a local surf comp.

Beautiful place.

Hey Goat, true Norths would be unsurfable on a sub, it is a mean, meat axe, muttha of a wave, been suppin for a while now and not sure I would take 4 ft - 6ft Northpoint on supping, its a challenge on a shortboard!

Don't tell the younger jackovich brother he is charging it on a 9 foot Delta custom sup. Reckon Goatie would too after seeing him at Dee Why.

Not so Brooko. I surfed North point Coweramup on an 11' 2" about nine months ago. There was another surfer out there on a nine foot something SUB. It wasn't huge though

Hey Brooko, would be pretty mean on the SUP for sure. I have had it at about 6 foot (swell) on the Goat and about 5 foot on the shorty.

It's funny after riding somewhere on a stupid goatboat - strapped in - the thought of em on a SUP doesn't seem so bad. No doubt I will find out the hard way this not the case

I think the crowd is the limiting factor at many of these spots.

Without the crowd, Hilly would go, I have a feeling he is a closet big wave nutter

mmmm interesting topic , Proper Norths on a sub

Jackovitch Brothers surf just about as good as anyone I have ever seen, so not entirely suprised by that.

Seen pics of goatman , and a mate here has competed against him before, so I do know that he does rip

One of my best mates Dave Englert (ding) got the nod a few years ago in a tracks poll as the best surfer to surf Norths when its on over anyone in the world. With good reason he shreds and grew up with one of the best views of North point out his bedroom window and was always the first one out there. I have seen him when the ledge and everything lines up properly get 3 barrels on the one wave you could drive a truck through, definately not doable on a sub.

Anywhere at 3 ft is pretty mellow, Im talking about proper Northpoint here
