Ozzy was charging and was shacked proper a few times, I know, I was there watching from the safety of the shoulder.
In the 3rd photo you can see he is actually in the shade keeping out of the sun.
It was quite a mission to get there with SUP's but well and truly worth the effort.
Ioz said..
Though they weren't all like that,
one i was forced down into the lip and it absolutely exploded my existance !
I lost my paddle, the board was ripped off the leash, lost my hat and my board shorts where down around my ankles !
it took me a while to re set my self after that wipe out where i ended up on the rocks (thankfully i didn't lose my booties)
and ended up with just a few small cuts, though i felt my face rip past the reef with inches to spare.
The advice given to us before heading out was, don't straighten out, stay high or die.....
Our first day was probably the biggest, I went for it, didn't make a section and ended up on the reef fairly early on.
Luckily there was no major damage so I headed back out only to find my way into one that exploded on me when taking on the end section, when I surfaced I had not only lost my paddle but also both booties, I have never lost one before that I can remember so I couldn't believe I lost 2 in the one wipeout, talk about feeling vulnerable.
That was day one and a couple of other crew were missing heaps more skin than me, so I played it pretty safe from then on.
