Sunday morning !!

Death Section!!! hahaha...awesome vid mate, cheers for sharing

Have hit that death section when it was smaller than that, really sneaks up on you then whammy, you are dumped on to the sand in about 1 foot if water, saw it break a few boards that day!

Great video for sure..Makes my morning paddle problems today look ridiculous

How good is that!!

Cool vid thanks

nice

Wow! Looks like a Kirra / north point mutant all in one. Never seen it that smokin before.

awesome watch.. hows that jack up at ~2min . crazy!

Videos gone Glad I got to watch it once

Locals will be happy

Was thinking the locals wouldn't be to happy with a vid like that out there!

That's what I was thinking, also considering there is a video "ocean beach today" uploaded 2 days ago and its junk. Must be trying to put people off hahaha

Here's a couple of pics from this morning, not as good as sunday, but still good.
6.30 am and already 30 people out

I can't remember the beach but there's a very similar set up to that on the south coast (4WD access) - and a mate and I scored one 3-4ft afternoon like that by ourselves for about 3hrs with only two other blokes out... the sort of day where you ride the wave so far that you go in, walk up the beach to the rocky point and go again. Sadly the next day it was 1-2ft, then flat thereafter...

so the vid was pulled and one can assume that he got a few verbal stink eyes and decided to bow to the pressure. That place needs tourism to support locals who rely on those of us not blessed with the ability to live there to spend some coin. The vid was awesome and may have encouraged a few of us to head down for a weekend and respectfully share the lineup. I don't fully understand the attitude and as I live in a place that many of you may hit for a weekend wave, I expect the odd non-local to turn up at these times. I'll post a vid or pic from time to time knowing that it really wont change the numbers too much because most of you know your stuff and can read a weather report. Do some people really think that a vid like that will immediately equate to carloads of visitors infesting the lineup? I've seen this bs all over and just shake my head and laugh, especially in towns that only exist because people are willing to visit there and share in what is rightfully ours. I guess it's just lucky that this small mindedness is held by the minority and the majority of crew are not hypocritical sheep shaggers or lonely hermits with the idea that we are all coming to sleep with their sisters and steal "their" waves/Kombi vans/bush crops etc

I know of at least one car that headed down, and the discussion of going down was part of a conversation about the pictures and (this) vid circulating the internet. Very good, aggressive surfers too.

This area will always be a poor (surfing) cousin to the SW, but it's already pretty touristy.

I don't think...I know it would happen. Remember Kirra was uncrowded once too. That footage was insane and I can totally sympathize with the locals. I don't really understand your attitude bakesy. But maybe I am just small minded?

well it's like this goodvibes, bloke puts up a vid to share the stoke others tell him he's a dick and to take it down, who's in the wrong? anyone telling kanga to remove the insane shots he puts up? I doubt it, why? one town knows what's driving it's economy and accepted it long ago the other needs to wake up and smell the overpriced coffee. You reckon anyone had a go at RC for making a series showcasing the natural beauty and sick waves of his home town, don't think so. Kirra has grown into a thriving community supporting a heap of crew in a paradise that is still pretty bloody good, population growth is inevitable.

I don't think the locals have much to worry about. The wave is pretty fickle. Doesn't get like that very often and the local boys rule down there. If you want to do the drive, deal with a 100 mile an hour rip that drains you, surf in cold river water with 30 locals that have it wired and get the waves they don't want while your paddling your butt off to hold position your have a ball. There a pretty good bunch of blokes down there (except for the old grumpy bunt who moans about everything) but your only going to get the scraps and fair enough they have to wait around a lot to get there bank on.

Guess to get to a wave that only breaks like that every blue moon you have to drive past over 300km of consistantly wave rich coastline?

A good place to go if getting a wave is not the whole intention of the trip

Been there many times over 20 plus years, the place is rarely any good. Probably one of the most fickle spots in WA.
Frequented by agro locals, one of whom wears a wetsuit cap thingy with ***k off written on the side and thinks he owns the joint. Beautiful coast but over-rated for surf.

you're obviously a local? (the surf is never any good at my local either)

they can have Jakes. 2 guys out and its crowded. tiny take off zone,...

bakesy I am at a total loss as to why anyone would think that surfing would be the richer for the loss of the last few blank spaces on the map ( even if they are fickle and cold)

Ohhh FFS it's about as renowned and as fickle as Pambula. Get over yourselves you twats!

Bakesy I'm not sure if I'd compare the situation in these semi remote areas to where you live. Your local spots are within easy striking distance of a couple of hundred thousand (just a guess) surfers and I know from personal experience that your vids have brought more crew to a certain left. I'd done a fair amount of surfing in your area and thought id pretty much seen it all but watching your vids pushed to search a little harder and sure enough myself and a couple of mates now surf your left regularly. Wonder if we're the only crew you brought down.

good onya Mitch hope you got shacked but more importantly hope you spent some coin at the shops owned by crew that have a family to support. That's my point, it's not about surf but FYI, I had it to myself yesterday and probably will get it this arvo to myself!

Kind of like winning the lotto. Are you going to post it up on facebook and have every 'mums uncles sons girlfrienda twice removed cousin' knocking on you door begging you for some money?

I doubt it was even surf able on yesterday's macking swell. Not suprised you were alone.
