Second day on the high tide and the boys went out for a wave session. Heaps smaller waves than yesterday and quite onshore, but they had fun! Izaak landed his second backloop today (have on camera in sequence) with a few very close sail aways on the other attempt's. Jordo had some nice big jumps out the back, but a little too far, for the lens on the camera.

Cheers! Okay so this is the one I landed!^ Any main tips, when it comes to doing back loops? I know it's probably the seediest one, you wave guys have seen haha

Ive found spotting landing early really helps, over hand front grip but I don't mind either way. Bent knees, before straightening a little half way round or so?? Am I on the right track? It helped me anyway haha Next session will be front loop attempt's again

Awesome couple of days Isaac!
Awesome location- flat water, waves, and we used to get abalone snorkeling off the end of the island. (Sorry if they're all gone )

This looks absolutely awesome.
We should have tried sailing there yesterday, instead of going into that huge mess at Bakers beach.

Yes yesterday was a lot bigger here! Here is a shot Jordan got! Too windy at one point though! Hence the jump! Haha you can just see the point at bakers, in the top of the photo
