Cheers bro

That boat is the yellow G'land boat on the 27th July 2015, the start of the so called "swell of the decade". It waited for a break in the sets & charged out the Kuta reef channel & was hit by 2 waves like this which broke out the front window. People were injured & it had to come back in to get them to hospital. I was out the front of the Ramada Bintang talking to one of the local boat blokes who was taking a day off due to the dangerous conditions. The waterproof camera I took the pics with died at AP rights about an hour later when I was taking footage from the shoulder & had to duckdive a big wide one.

The drainers that day are still the best waves I've had in the last few years, its East coast Bali January 2014.

Parents both from Woolooware and grandparents were there (Woolooware) until they passed in the mid '90's.

I grew up in Kareela and moved to Cronulla in 1991 as a 21yo and lived there until last year (with a 5 year stint in Engadine and Helensburgh between 2004 and 2009).

Now 7 minutes up the road (out of unit living) with kids etc

Not many days I'm not there surfing, riding my BMX, coffee snobbing or eating out.

Great Job Lads, some great captures there. I really love seeing images of real surfers, surfing real waves. so much more essence in my opinion.

Well done!

Yes, the areas south of Sydney are a very nice part of the world, I don't go there often enough and when I did, it was never to surf, I figure I was missing out on a lot of what the place has to offer.

it's got a different feel to the north coast, and I think it's a lot less developed.

I hope we do that February road trip.

Climber had his first Point experience yesterday and man did we have fun

To his credit, backhand on a longboard there is no easy feat.

Only small but on the bigger boards, some nice faces and Climber met the reef which made me smile

Thanks for the great images Lukie.

The swell kicked a touch for Grand Final Day (Sunday) and Climber got another shot at Point.

I'm thinking he likes it just a touch

......some 2nd reef walls, 1st reef bowls and coffee with my family and friends; all before 8am.

Monday and the swell faded away so off to the National Park for some SUP time.

Climber's first SUP experience and another convert for some flat water fun and fitness.

....and so ended Graeme's long weekend visit; super fun.
