that peak was insane
would love to see you going over the falls on one of those bombs AA
yewwwwwwww
very wild looking bottom shape on those boards
have you got pics????????
I was there, well not quite exactly there, but near there. The waves looked like that, not as big, but the glass and the peaks that popped up all over looked the same. I surfed every morning before the family got up and then went and did tourist stuff with them in the arvo. I don't know if it's like that there every week, maybe I just lucked out - I don't really care - the images and the replays in my head of some of the sessions I had will remain with me for a long long time.
Yeah, looks like an insane session. Blane was mainly behind the lense but got one of the sickest backside barrels ever, apparently. It was a boat trip so not sure where it is. Guaranteed we will never find out
They are all riding Hull Rippers - Blane. Austin, Keppa and an one guy I dont recognise.
The shot at the begininning is the best shot I have seen yet of the underside of these new boards. As for you Doggie - you can wait mate! Over the falls! Bit hard to even paddle in at the moment with my shoulder - DICK HEAD!
Oliver thats sick make - you scored! Lucky bastard!
The old fella still has it!
Awesome , those hull ripppers look like they turn off the tail really well they must be prettty quick to paddle too.
Yeah Rog Andrew dislocated his shoulder loading the esky.... are you back together now , planning a trip down your way over Chrissy
piros

havent trolled the net in a while
legs ok but......
come on down
a few more crew wont hurt as it is already starting to get packed down here
yewwww
Waves have been small to medium here all winter with only a couple sorta big days. But I tell you what, it's been perfect...
Read some comments... Not everyone out had a hull ripper... Jason with the dar top goofy foot had a 9-8 ripper... Also, that was Kepa charging the late one then getting pitched... That was me laughing while shooting it...
We will never disclose where we surf.... Sorry but we gotta keep empty waves empty...
Best backside wave I ever got on a sup board was that day... Dropped in straight down, snapped under the hook into the barrel on a full set wave, rode the foam ball and made it out... 2 witnesses, Freakin stoked...
Heading out to surf perfection right now again... Like I said, it's been PERFECT but only if your OK with up to 18' faces... No huge waves here for a while...
Hope good waves go to you guys down under.. Aloha, BC
Very jealous been flat as or heaps of wind here. Looks like a lake at the moment.
I reckon the pilots have a lot to do with how boards turn. Not sure about the HR will be interesting to try one.
Looked like a sweet session Blane very jealous....the HR's look very interesting when do you think we will see one down under.

That's what I want for Christmas, this has been the most disappointing last couple of months for years swell wise! Swell due on Tuesday, please don't let us down Mr Low pressure!! Hey Piros always welcome at the Bay if you come down this far.
Cheers, Spiro
This has been our lot of late, a bit of fishing at the point.
This is Narrabeen today - the place that "always" has something ridable:

Shoulder is recovering well thanks Mr Dogman. The lack of decent surf has made it a lot easier. With out a doubt StandUp has helped my recovery. I was flat water paddling last weekend, 3 weeks after popping it.
Piro's we will see some Chambers Hull designs down here very soon. One 3 times world surfing champion has one under his wing and fly's back with it next week. The first boards to come out will be All-round Chambers hulls. Big and wide from 9'6 to 10'6. Hull Rippers in Autumn if all goes to plan.
As for you 'Mr doubting Thomas', 'over the Hill', WA guy. The proof will be in the pudding so to speak. I would be putting my money on Blane once again putting big smiles on everyones faces as he has been since the beginning of SUP time (circa 2006)

Not wanting to get flamed and not trolling.
This video highlights the limitation of SUP surfing IMO-a 'surfer' out there on conventional equipment would have been getting slotted wave after wave, whereas these guys are missing all the barrels and all the steeper sections of the waves-and they're nice waves, great setup and conditions.
The guys that can ride tose 7 ft 8 ft boards are whippets , those blokes dont look like whippetts.I think its silly to comapre short boards to sup , sup will never have the performance of a short board.Mind you i have never ridden a short board , just an observation.Sup is the swiss army knife , all about versatlity.Ridable in almost all conditions.
