That's the beauty of the Alley for a sup rider, if you're patient and wait in the right spot on those bigger swell days a Bommie will come in out wide of the rock and you can ride that sucker for over a minute right into the life guard tower at Lacey's. Yeeew done it heaps of times over the years, one catch you need to be on a race board to do it.
Lol
Mick your only cracking yourself up
Dont troll seabreeze as much as you
I Must actually have a life
I still want to know what A Gap is ! Its not anything I have heard of in a measurable term re surfing in all my 30 odds years of riding boards
Troughs, seconds, ft, metres etc etc
Whats a gap ?? Pls explain in your best deep southerner terms for this ignorant Qlder
3-6 ft is 3-6 ft whether you measure wave face or the true wave
If your riding over 8-5 ft boards yes the beachies can be tricky however a punchy steeper wave face is my preference
The Alley can turn it on at times however is a little hectic for stand up surfers with the aggression coming from short board and mal riders and at times Laceys can turn a few stand ups against each other
I was just having a dig at the 3-6ft reference.....it's a pretty big variation in size. The usual terms range around 2-3ft, 3-4, 4-5, 4-6, 6-8 etc. The most common gap of 3ft kicks in at 12-15ft because then you're getting into the same scale variation you experience at 4-6 or 6-8ft.
In my experience, it's pretty rare to have 3ft waves rolling through with 6ft bombs in the water as well, except in the lulls.
And its all part of the fun we southerners love to poke at Queenslanders because we're just jealous we only get a couple of months where shorts are an option
The alley is just a fat old man wave!! http://www.coastalwatch.com/videos/16814/the-biggest-you-ve-ever-seen-currumbin-alley?utm_content=buffer7e750&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=3CMG#
