thanks jezza007 for that - its definitely far to big for me out there but some of the waves looked rather tempting. Normally that place looks so scary - that day seems almost placid in comparison. Still I would not be going near the water!!!!

Whats the rules re all the tow surfers in the line up - do they just take turns ?

Grt footage- thanks heaps!

WARNING - GUMBY question below.

so who are the jet ski riders, are they surfers too? I reckon the surfer would have to have a good degree of trust happening....

I saw a tow in ski get wiped out here at home- tumbled through white water etc. The rider swam for it got on, started it and took off... amazing stuff

Not a dumb question, usually the driver is a surfer as well. I think it just works out that way cos they both want to surf and one of them has to drive so they take turns. Usually both being surfers means you know what the surfer wants and where they want to be and it's up to the driver to put them there.

That's just stupid-towed in to crappy day at Jaws on a SUP! Shheesh-joke!

You sure that's Laird? Doesn't look like him.
