These shots are surfing on the wide reef at the Pass..We headed south after our heavy session at Currumbin yesterday. Lennox was out of control so we headed back to Byron , massive sweep really choppy but some solid ones were rolling through. The ole legs were burning after 2 -3 hour soup sessions in 2 days plus I had 3 leg rope snaps in the 2 sessions so I did a bit of swimming training. I'm so tired after our 3.30am starts my fingers are falling asleep as I type this.

Inspiring stuff. What size boards were you riding? Was there much in the way of channels to paddle out in?

I was on a DC custom 9-3 a bit of a charger but it was too small for the day, Brett was on a Starboard 9-8 and Clarky was on a Carnell 10-0.

Getting through the pass was the old fashioned way just bash your way out, on the outside no real channel but it was pretty shifty and inconsistent so you could pick your way through but you did get the occasional set on your head.

Go boys - charging it. Nice photos. Love the third one where it looks like you are about to succumb to a little bit of discomfort to the wedding tackle region.

Luckily I kept falling away from the board. For it's size the surf was pretty gutless , we probably should have had a crack at the Lennox beach it was bigger with alot more punch and the odd double overhead+ pits , getting out would have been hell but it was possible.

Looks like the funs nearly over , just got back from my second surf today(how good are holidays).Dropping off pretty quick no where near as big as thismorning.Although some where a bit punchier.Its possibly a good thing , my old body needs a rest.
