Those I don't have - check out www.realsurf.com for some pictures of the Sydney beaches today, it was big.

Shippies stuff is coming on with the sport on 10.

There's waves you go over the falls and brush it off - that is not one of those waves.

^ yeah you see those pics of Shippies and it has the 1 or 2 extra lips on the face and a couple had 3 - what drives people to surf that wave is beyond me, I'll take a waist high peeler any day.

Saw one of the guys from the SUP room is over at Noumotu (fiji) there expecting to get hit by that tomorrow/friday, that could be interesing.

Yes the bottom part on the wave was over head and that was like a shadow of that thing way above.

DW is in fiji his second home,although he is a pro life guard here,I don't think he'll take the sup out,maybe the shortie.

I've always thought it and this has done nothing to change my mind. That is one of the ugliest waves. Not the only reason you wouldn't find me on it mind you.
