…just for a comparison , here’s the nearest “point” camera to me…

That WA shot reminds me of Malibu, gets massive crowded, even worse. But those days when its almost empty, oh man…worth all the crowded days.

…anyone happen to see today’s footage ? [ie: Sunday 5th March , here in Oz] …

looks like if the wind swings tomorrow , it could be worth watching …

[quiksilver have live footage of the contest , I believe !]

cheers !

wish i was there

i was there , surfed the pass at byron on the big day …

snapped my favourite longboard …

was in a rip that was raging like a river , as it was feeding into the incoming swells , there was some interesting mutations …

knew i had snapped my board before the wave even made contact …

it broke so clean , the 2 halves were floating 3 inches appart …

yep the east coast can pack a punch on the right day…

regards
