Ahhh yeahhh!

Don't care about you haters that'll crap all over me for these, so don't bother. Had a great session. Don't usually post photos unless the surf motivates me enough to nab some post session. Pretty motivated after this one!

Had a barrel that turned a few heads. Always a confidence booster!

I can't believe I am saying this... But that actually looks pretty fun

I haven't seen it look like that since sometime in the 90's, but in its defence I haven't been too bothered to check in a long time and now don't have the time to, even struggling to get to my local and thats a 10 minute walk from home.

I had fun at Trigg but would surely have had more fun there^^^^

Sick fun at metro beachy for dawn patrol, a short jog down the beach warmed me up and got me away from the circus.

The bank I was on had 5 max. and everyone took turns and called each other in.

Love Spring

Surfed everyone's favourite left crowd of 5 turned into 20 good ettiquette good crowd.
Said hi to a fellow seabreezer riding the nano.
Headline reads surfing forum brings good vibes to the water
Spring is here....

Jeff ( I think) send us a pm and you can borrow the 510 for research purposes

Young fella that works for me sometimes wanted to be paid in waves. Gotta love this time of year!

Not my local so I don't give a crap, but if it was id be so pissed off. So now that all the seabreeze members and many more lurkers know this ultra fickle beachie has a good bank, what do you think your chances are of scoring that "head Turning barrel" next time there's a swell without the usual circus wa crowds.

Thats the best photo of that place I have ever seen....I used to surf around there all the time growing up and I reckon I saw it once a bit better than that it had a bank from behind the groin for some reason that was breaking left all the way through to the bell that we used to jump off...add that day to the other handful I saw in 15 years of surfing the [place and fickle is an understatment....

You got to be taking the piss don't ya!?

Looking at the waves and the foam from previous waves it's very close to a closeout. And it will be shut to surfing for the summer in a couple of days anyway. So turn up all you want crowds, and the ranger will confiscate your boards.

hmmm

been surfing there since stuart bedford-brown was ripping it up as a grommet
left off the groyne to the beach was the dream, rarely seen



so whats wrong with a nice photo? not like a few million people dont pass it by on the way to other secret uncrowded and A1 world class breaks
(ssshhh - cove, seconds, isolator, dutch inn, arto's, might take another 20 years to get a foto of a good day there too)

too many haters here (and in life generally)

cheer up and share some love of a nice shot, dream of catching a nice wave,

be happy that someone did get a good one and would like to share that feeling - isnt that what surfing is sometimes about?

haha, was expecting a reply like that. well, to be honest i'd say a lot of the reason i got it like i did is because it's super fickle. in a way it controls the crowds by itself. if word is spread that it was great one day, the likelihood is that for a future swell it won't be as good so people are disappointed and leave to find more consistent waves. that's actually happened countless times for me at this wave; the reason i was so stoked from the session. only reason i knew it was on was because of a mate that lives around the corner informing me.

i've scored way more (and better) barrels along the northern beaches and any knowledgeable surfer will realise that's pretty logical, so i'm not sure i care if people try to find barreling joy there. they won't find it on 360+ days of the year. and yep, like others have stated, you've got to be kidding. 'usual circus wa crowds'. go surf snapper on a decent day (if you haven't already experienced it) and you'll be looking forward to surfing in perth, even during the weekend.

legion, i will admit the left in the first photo was too fast. the others, the rights were great. lefts, fast, space for a hack before a closeout by the pylon.

Fair enough, I unfairly targeted you as a vent for my frustrations over crowds..apologies. You must admit the qualitiy of waves vs the number of people in the water makes it hard to get a good surf in perth. I don't even go near that region anymore for that reason....and the number of gay gondolas.

I remember it having a long left bank like that around 1999/2000. I remember a few from the Groyne finishing up pretty close to Slimies too. I haven't seen it again since, but I stopped checking it in the early 2000's.

I understand why you would have stopped checking when you did. It's only the odd mutant storm wave that breaks like that any more. Stoked feeling when you manage to snag one like that, but the feeling wears off when you realise that those kind of waves aren't more common.

surferstu, i understand your frustration, however you've got to realise that with the increasing popularity of surfing in general and seemingly decreasing quality of surf around perth you've got to be innovative as a surfer these days. whether it be by making friends with people who are willing to let you in on cracking spots (like my pics) on the given day or by just taking that extra 5 mins watching the water to try and pin point the best banks you can have a surf that'll change your mindset pretty quickly. i still have sessions every now and again that are absolute magic.... right in the middle of the 'epicentre' of perth surf, yet barely 50 metres away from the bulk of crowd that decides to go for the bank directly out from the pathway to the beach.

I remember a few from the Groyne finishing up pretty close to Slimies too.

Yeah, that's never happened. Not ever. I would put $1,000,000 on it (monthly mortgage payment on a house nearby).

That's a picture of the last time it broke before sparki's pictures.

I've surfed it from out past the groyne through to Slimies, big A frames that were peaking just NW of the groyne and linking up to the next wave down the line. Had to race the first section and backdoor the next. Fond memories of standing in the front bar next to the fire completely surfed out. Was a bloody good pub when the pool tables were out the front.

Time to take the know it all's money then

All bow down to Legion, the master of all Perth Metro surf knowledge. You should start a youtube channel. 'How to shoot everyone else down in 60 seconds with good guy Legion' or something.

PS: how **** is the wind today??

Sorry you missed it legion, unlucky :)

I'll stand by the bet. I think you guys are viewing the past with rose-coloured glasses.

To put it in perspective, an equivalent measurement is Trigg Pt to the second carpark bank. We can double down if anyone wants to claim that?
