They were wearing booties Kazza, but that pic was the guys jumping out of their van (where they spent most of their time unless sailing) to scramble over the rocks to retrieve Daniels gear after he got caught in the spin cycle of a huge wash.

Just read that Dany has launched @ BOL without booties today though!!

Not too sure how the last pic got in there it's Windsurfing Tas El Presidente Ant teaching the young guns how to shred at BOL (back of lighthouse)

Some epic shots there guys!
Thanks for sharing them
Unfortunately we only got to stay down there to see Day 1.
Looks like we missed out on a screamer of a second day.
Though looking at the pic of the road in on the Redbull site I don't recon our Kombi would've been able to get through. Poor thing coped a canning as it was

Bol really turned it on for monday, great work by all the local crew to pitch in with their skills to help make it happen and super big rap for John Pott for bringing BOL alive and taking it to the world... all the hard work paid off big guy!

In 2006 Johnny Pott arrived in Marrawah, loved it so much decided to live there. Wasn't long before he discovered BOL which was a world class reef on our doorstop that we never even knew was there.

Eight years later his passion and love for BOL all came together and he pulled off one of the most epic wave events the world has ever seen.

Well that's all that needs to be said.

JOHNNY YOU ARE THE LEGEND !!!!!!!

Yea, Great footage Geoff - some superb clips there mate - you could sell that to RedBull! The RedBull footage is equally as impressive though... looking forward to tonights update.

And what Ant said - massive congrats to John, Not enough words can be said, but we all say Thanks mate!

Izaac's pic no. 6 wins my vote for the best action captured. The guy in the orange sail charging under the lip, almost upside down, super critical position, seems to have timed it to perfection. The image is a little grainy, but the action is Epic. The move of my dreams. .
I reckon action quality is more important than image quality.
Some good moments in your vid too Geoff, well worth it.

Too beautiful for words. Thanks for posting all the great pictures - among the most captivating I've seen, particularly when you also get a glimpse of the coastline. Feeling an irresistible urge to take the family across Bass Straight for a holiday on the wild west coast. I hope the Tasmanian tourism department are paying that Johnny bloke for his efforts
