I bounced off the bottom today on a reef I never hit the bottom on. Winter thick waves. They weren't big - frustratingly small and inconsistent actually - but punchy.


Its nuts isnt it. Some of my longest hold downs have been in smaller than big surf LOL

One of my heaviest wipe outs was about 18 years ago on a 5-6 foot wave at Coronation in Geraldton. Anyone who has surfed there is now choking on their coffee. it's normally a fat mung burger of a wave, but this thing threw on the peak, I fell out of the lip and was smacked around like a red headed step-child, then it tried to drown me. It was solid without being huge, but just nasty. Bare in mind, back then I was 27, fit, fearless and hungry for 12 foot waves down south and yet that wipeout at Corro is one of the "highlights" in my surfing life. Good thing I am anonymous on the 'breeze as no one would have any respect for me if they knew me and read this. "Corro? Pfft...the guys a delusional idiot."

They sure don't,but I'll tell mine.I jumped off the back of Boulders, the next beach south of Lennox Head years ago.I missed timed the sets and got flogged against the rock wall thought I was going to drown,must've looked like a real dickhead,couple of blokes out there hav'in a laugh.But when I got out I caught the last set wave after sitting in the line up for a bit and got a excellent barrel,one of the longest barrels of my life and the boys who where laughing where now hooooting,haha!...

Aaah...the failed rock jump...love it.

I saw a bloke get flogged 300m or so down a rock point a few years back. Jumped off in front of a wave instead of on to it. Got pushed onto the rocks, sucked, pushed on, sucked back...all the way down the point and never in deeper than waist to chest high water (other than when he was in ankle deep water). I waited until he had walked back up the point - bleeding from multiple cuts and abrasions and his board was trashed. It was very funny because he wasn't seriously hurt. Me? I paddled out through the channel. That rock jump is sketchy and only saves 30s or so.

Any other deep dark secrets fellas?

Just been for a surf locally. Two in two days. Water still warm they tell me at 11.5 degrees. Joy. Swell has backed off a lot since yesterday. Nothing like what your boys have been getting. Wetsuit slowing loosening up. But still feel like the Michellen man in my booties and hoodie and 5/4mm. Helps you to surf like a kook

Dunno why he is bothering to crouch. Stand tall and proud, son.

Preferrably with arms wide.

Sick pic.

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 !

The point off North Narra? Sick.

I was there a few years ago and thought it looked like it would be fun with a bit more size on it.

I didn't mean that much size though. MUMMY!!!
