Ok here is ur chance to let the whole world know about that day when you had that wave or that session that sticks out in your mind more than the other ones! You know- that surf that had you be world champion for a day.That day you think about when you check the surf and its flat and you say- 'gee, I wish it was like that day when I got barreled on that wave for five minutes' haha - A chance to share, brag , spoil us with ur own ultimate experiences of exactly what surfing is about for you.
You may have only been 10 years old or it may have only been this morning , but lets hear it, out with it , its your last chance to make a claim to fame

I flew from Perth to Bali, then Bali to a remote Island, then took an overnight ferry then took a bus.
arrived at my destination late afternoon too late to go out.

Next morning i walked about 1-2kms across a reef and paddled out in double-triple overhead waves, breaking left, pure perfection in every sense of the word, surfed for two hours with three others and eventually got drilled and snapped my 6'10" clean in two.

Swam in cut an bloody grinning like a mad nut, met a guy walking out over the reef, who remarked on broken board and very diluted bloody state, he stood on the shore line and watched.

Beaut day.......had the best surf of my life, snapped my fav board 1 day into a 2 month trip in a heroic fashion.....

For me the most memorable session I can remember was one Sunday in the year 1968.
This was the year that changed surfing forever. It was the year that young surfers like Wayne Lynch and David "baddy" Treloar set the surfing world on it's head with thier innovative styles.
A black Ford Customline V8 covered in Nullabor dust roared into the car park of my regular surf spot. Out hopped four " aliens " from NSW.
They were dressed in baggy jeans, flannel shirts, socks and sandals.
I sat in awe as I watched these guys surf like I had never seen before. A crowd built on top of the hill which looked down on the surf and watched the dawn on a new era in surfing in Australia and the world.
That was the most memorable session for me.

Have to say Boranup is consistently the best wave I have surfed but in 2002 I surfed Sunset Cliffs in San Diego 3 days straight - 2 long surfs a day, on the 4th say I had to leave for Houston which was lucky cause my knees hurt so much.

The surf was glassy all day (kelp bed helped) and crew was very cool - huge surf area with countless waves, size was consistent double head but not heavy like here in WA - very light and full on fun... a week later I was surfing oily dirty infested water in Galveston... no one should ever surf Galveston!!!

The Bluff sh1ts all over Tombies

Looks like Bennions??? Is that what its called???
Breaks like that often. Lots of boogers ride it

Got a little movie I made of my Red Bluff trip, its 8 min long and a little over 600 meg, its to big for youtube, are there any other sites that will take it?

the track in had a bit of water on it very hard to get there wouldnt recomend it to anyone

A little different to most other responces but still a very memorable occasion.
About two weeks ago I surfed a little reef break in the Perth metro area. 2 foot max with realy good banks, only one other person out. It was the first time my 7 year old daughter and 3 year old son had ever seen me surf. The waves were nice and easy. The kids were standing onshore and everytime I took off on a wave they would cheer. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that on this day I past my love of surfing down to my children. I have surfed for 22 years and had a lot of memerable experiences in big surf. Nothing will top this feeling.

Go the Poocrab hahahaha!

Ten foot pipe winter of 98. For those who may not have surfed Hawaii, the hardest wave to ride at pipe is the one that feathers on second reef but dose not quite break, when these ones hit first reef they go wild, so much water in them. Never been so barreled & scared & spat-out & and happy & frightened all at once. Put 13 staggered half creases in my board on the very next wave, flattened all the rocker out of my 7'6" Pipe is a cruel mistress but I'll take that wave to my grave.

Thats a fantastic Story mate good on you
