It didn't seem as lumpy as it looks in these pics. Even after the wind got up there were some good waves to be had. Chris scored a few great rides, with some big hacks.
However, the boys shouldn't have slept in - it was just a gentle offshore for most of the morning and really nice

. But being Melbourne/Vic, once the wind gets up it usually does so with a vengeance - and at that spot you cop it all. Sean must have had a big lens to get these pics, so I imagine it being buffeted in the wind without a tripod.
