Yeah he almost pulled out clean, the barrel from 308 was pretty epic, guys reclining so much he ends up sitting on his ass 1/2 way through the baz haha

Hows that first guy from when the copter does its first run from the top. Goes for the big off the top scalloping the thighs of lazy paddling shoulder hoppers wtf lol

mick that might seem funny, but if your paddling out and some guy reckless flares all over you and others it not funny. guys get cut up from those stunts. I hope one of those guys snotted him because he deserves it

Still taking bitch pills I see Lacey

Like I said wtf, but I'm laughing at just how ridiculous the situation is there...

yeah I know mate.

It's so mechanical and the shoulder is so easy to get to after hovering around the pocket of the last one. The other thing I've found at Snapper is that you really do need to be in the pocket. It doesn't take too much to be too wide and just unable to paddle on to it. Most other waves have a more extended take off spot from the peak. Hope that makes sense.

Do people ever get seriously hurt there it is it just annoying for the most part?

And, too be honest, the three times I have surfed it crowded, despite the crowds, I still got waves. So, I suspect, many of those in the water in the vids have the same experience. Crowded, annoying, a bit of a ****fight, but still fun enough. It really is just that - fun. A really fun wave.

People get hurt. Ambos around the place. Tweed hospital gets busy. Gashes usually. Anywhere. Head included. Not uncommon to see 4 guys take off with 4 guys duck diving straight in front of them. A lidder not so long ago copped a serious head injury- fin chop. Plenty we dont get to hear about too

And I thought Noosa was bad yesterday.

ET.

Felt like some exercise after being out of the water. So dusted off the old skatey for a trip down to the beach. LB mate was telling me a story about how he jumped on a SB last week while visiting friends down South & had a hard time. So I recommended one of my old boards...ended up in the water myself trying to keep my head above water on the 666 while he had a go on my board. Before I knew it was 1420, couldn't believe how quick the time went. Had some onshore shoulder height waves to ourselves for a couple of hours. Did end up getting my head wet, but I think it was good for my eye coz it stopped itching. 2 day itch was driving me nuts more than being out of the water. Killed 2 birds with one stone, gotta love the ocean

More joy on the 666 trying to keep my head out of the water & a bit of a wind surf later. Mate surprised us with 4 crayfish for dinner...another day in paradise
