Aaah...the failed rock jump...love it.
I saw a bloke get flogged 300m or so down a rock point a few years back. Jumped off in front of a wave instead of on to it. Got pushed onto the rocks, sucked, pushed on, sucked back...all the way down the point and never in deeper than waist to chest high water (other than when he was in ankle deep water). I waited until he had walked back up the point - bleeding from multiple cuts and abrasions and his board was trashed. It was very funny because he wasn't seriously hurt. Me? I paddled out through the channel. That rock jump is sketchy and only saves 30s or so.
Any other deep dark secrets fellas?
First and Second Bays at Coolum this afternoon.Has dropped off a bit but still some solid sets coming through.
Just been for a surf locally. Two in two days. Water still warm they tell me at 11.5 degrees. Joy. Swell has backed off a lot since yesterday. Nothing like what your boys have been getting. Wetsuit slowing loosening up. But still feel like the Michellen man in my booties and hoodie and 5/4mm. Helps you to surf like a kook
Looks like you landed on your feet there Ted. Pretty spot.
Great photo that one Chrispy.
I think this is the same spot
And for scaling purposes that board is a 12ftr..
As good as the local gets...
And a few shots and clips from the Last 3 days around here.
