Set the soloshot up wrong at first yesterday & came in after 90 mins to change the camera battery. Fixed it & caught the last hour after it dropped a bit & the wind started. A few fun waves. People were hopping out as I got there coz a big shark swam under a standup. Still a bit crowded for the local, but nothing like todays circus. Hope yuz scored...cheers

The crowd is not that bad but the drop ins are crazy, the guy at 1:54 is lucky it was you as i would claim i can't turn and take out his ankles

Looks like fun, especially the switch, every time i look at your videos i then find myself looking at long boards again

I know everyone that dropped in. The SUP didn't really bother me either, I wouldn't have made that section on the LB & I've dropped in on him or lets say shared waves with him plenty of times haha. Its just that kinda wave that you can often get few crew on it. Someone will hang back in the pocket & the other 2 or 3 gun for the shoulder. Its just shutting down through the middle a lot at the moment, but that will change pretty soon

Cheers mate, will do...havn't been comfortabe with the crowds to set up the cam over the weekend. Constant flow of beach walkers would have screwed up the auto focus, making it focus near, not far. But from now on, we'll have swell, so will get some good footage....Its been cranking all weekend

lol yes I know exactly where that is Ted & it was one of my favourite waves before, but not so much now due to the crowds. Great barrels when you don't have 5+ people in the way...must be from this weekend

It is mate, waves are coming from deep water & hitting a fairly shallow ledge in comparison. First time I surfed there at 17 it was double overhead & I went over the falls on the first 2 or 3 waves before I got the takeoff sussed. That place is like the centre point to handle just about any weather condition & the best tasting micro brewery beer I have ever tasted is 10 mins to the North
