'Bout time we had another of these, the other one is too old to resurrect. All are stolen from about the net..... At least a couple are West Oz

And here's a couple of mine just for the hell of it. And maybe another random or two...

Vicco waves look so damn sharky. Amazes me you guys don't have more attacks over there.

nice shot dmitri - spent 4 lovely years living there in the early 90's....nothing beats that view as you come over the hill.....here are a few of mine from last time I was home.

Classic left lineup in Peru, taken of the first half of the wave.

^^^^I've been invited, but it's a bloody long way!

Also keep in mind that you have a speedboat to contend with, shuttling Brazos to the inside in no time
Good if your staying at the resort
Bad for everyone else
Interesting part of the world to check out though
Just don't look at it as purely a surf trip

There is another one just as long that gets more swell not far from that one...no crowds when I was last there......

I know the one
Yep. Has a speedboat as well
Good if you can get on the boat
Bad for everyone else that can't
Good business for the locals though

Thats no good.....how much are they charging a ride? We used to just get a taxi out the top of the point and surf back....have a feed and do it again. Sometimes we walked out from town which took about 35 mins from memory.

You have to stay at a american surf travel resort
$200 a night I think
There is so much animosity about the setup with the speed boats at the moment
Because its a long ride and the current is torrential the average punter has to do the walk around after each wave and paddle their ass off to stay in position once back in the lineup
The speed boat holds you in position and picks you up after each ride
No taking turns as the boat drivers are about maximizing the experience of thir customers. They create so much wake and it's heartbreaking to work your ass off to hold position to then have 20 Brazos/seppoes jump off one by one into the best sets
I've had the place going off with three people out all day to return years later to this setup
Still a great country and a great experience but just be prepared for the boats

Thats sounds terrible the way you have explained it.....there is a spot like that not far from here that doesn't break too often but when it does we get all the jet ski's picking up and dropping off their mates whilst the rest of us battle the current / tide. It annoys the hell out of me. $200 a day to stay at that resort - jeepers it must be flash! I recall that current all too clearly....if you didn't get one quickly you were washed down pretty smartly and forced to grab yourself a second rate wave just to ensure you were not wasting all that precious energy. It was not very often that we even tried to paddle against it. If you had a boat / jet ski then your wave count would be through the roof thats for sure.

I was there in 2005 and there was no crowds and no boats.
I remember getting one that went nearly to the pier, but by half way my legs were that sore I could just stand and trim. Must be the 2.8km run back up the point.

Thats why i went back for a second time
First time i went it blew my mind and all i wanted to do was go back
Longest waves of my life with no boats or crowds
On the best day surfed from early morning until late arvo
No lunch, only a few Inca colas on the walk slash run back to the top of the point
Good times

What makes Vicco look sharky? Probably the least sharky place in oz, never seen one in 40 years, just your western paranoia kickin in

This is a pic of the seal colony across the channel from me fav surf spot.
