Took the mal out at 1:30pm and got some tiddlers... very inconsistent, but good shape and only 4 out.
First time down in a while, huh?
I was lucky enough to be working by the sea today. I don't mind it so much when there's bugger all surf when I can't hit it.
Perth beachies: small, fat and wind now in from west...
But I guess we could expect that, just livin in hope
Just a little video a mate I study with put together.
Footage is a couple of months old but thought it was worth sharing.
props to those guys for even towing it,...that wave is gnarly.
Amazing thing is, I remember going over there with parents in the early eighties and watching 2 guys take turns paddling into em. They were making them too.
Guys don't even seem to do that now, let alone with a thick old 80's thruster.
Would love to know where those 2 guys are now.
I remember being blown away watching a stick from Esperance paddling in on a draining 6-8 foot day there around 2002?, first time I saw a surfer having a crack at it. He was air dropping and getting blasted on most of them, pretty sure he spent a fair bit of time standing on the ledge copping sets, but he had us hooting. Ballsy effort. Couldn't have been that long after Tom Innes broke his femur out there? Don't even want to think about the paddle in, negotiating the urchin ledge and getting up the cliff with an injury like that.
Severely unimpressed how close they were getting to the paddle-in boogers, particularly on one wave.
I was at a 'poultry' (is that secret enough?) left break at the rock and saw two sups paddle over over from a big boat. They sat out the back paddling like kooks, no idea this small wave really lifts up. Then... MUNCH!!! They got chomped. Like seriously, I thought they were dead!! Then they went back to the boat.
