Is that just a lead in before you tell us what you ordered...way to build the suspense

Good to hear you had a good one Mac. I just got back from waist to head high waves. Nice in but the banks are a bit ordinary. Still got a few though

Hand finish by Bob... 
Hope you bought him lunch first. 
Was your Camera broken???
No lunch required its a little thank you from team mct,nice.
I didn't even see the blank its a mad house in the factory atm.
words out mac is taking apart 5 ft snapper/rainbow and wiping his a55 with any short boarder that gets in his way.
ruthless
Saw it on the cam, looks epic...think I'd be looking for wide ones too, just so I didn't have to dodge so much traffic

I cant tell you guys how dangerous it is. you have people that see an opportunity to get a wave and no amount of people in their way is going to stop them.
all common sense goes out the window. sitting out wide will get you almost nothing because someone on the inside will get it without doubt.
so you have to get your hands dirty. last time I went out in something like this I thought I was a goner about 10 times.
trying to get the inside growers ups the ante
I paddled in, this isn't worth it.
on that same swell a week later when it was dropping I got run over by a mal. tore my wetsuit up a cross my shoulder.
cams actually lie how congested it is.
the best bet is small days with sneaky unreported by media swell surges
Sounds like the homey when the usual suspects rock up - it is a Saturday lace so you'd expect a few more than usual

yeah. saturated.sadly im not missing any thing today
I can imagine mate, looks hell scary...Rainbow is one of the cams I check on my daily net browsing. I've seen so many days with small but super fun looking long clean waves with hardly anyone out apart from Snapper. They'd be my favourite days too.
When we stayed there for a week in 2009 at the Mantra. There was a really big swell running in July. I surfed straight out in between GM & Kirra. I was usually the only one there with long waves ending near the Kirra groyne. The sweep was pretty bad though. I'd paddle out & catch the first wave as soon as I was out the back. Then walk up a bit & repeat. Had no probs, didn't get fully pitted, but had a lot of fun.
Up in the big smoke today (Sydney) . Had a flat water paddle in Port Hacking. Looking good up on the Goldy

I didn't want to be a negative nancy and rain in the parade, but yeah the crowd looked nuts. And the bank isn't as variable as when I have surfed it with a bit of size in it. So that doesn't help.
I have never surfed it for the same reasons that LL spoke of. Last time I was there and it was 4-5ft I sat in the surf club and had lunch instead. It was carnage. Counted 350 people. Scary
I just Surfed a fun shifty right handed 3ft reef with a few bigger ones. Crowd factor of 5. Fun until the wind got up and put a bit of a bump in the face. Nice first surf on the new toy. Goes good. Real good actually. Bloody quick. First wave was a real eye opener. Think it's fair to say this board will be getting lots of use. No post purchase doubts what so ever
While catting in the carpark today a rather spooked lady drove in and said a guy was dragged out of the surf from dbah,news in sadly he passed away RIP.

I was chatting with Jackson before he paddled out,it took him 30 minutes before he got his first wave then he opened up and blew the the crew away with the best barrels of the day,he was so deep in one every figured he got smashed only to come flying out huge roar.
