Great little vid. Especially like the Super with the two piece paddle at 56 seconds

It actually made me giggle. I didn't see any collisions but it looked like there very well could be a few

Thanks for sharing.

so jealous I lived in Sydney for 10 years and not once did we get a swell that came into the harbour, did anyone see the upload of the blokes surfing off the Opera House.

Nice vid Cam. That's one place locals don't rule cause it doesn't break often enough to have any - free for all and looked like loads of fun.
Can anybody confirm if the goofy Sup was Belly from Ozsup ?

Belly was out there but he is natural footer. The goofy fella is another local bloke. I've surfed with him a few times, goes alright too. Walks all over his PSH with real style

Cheers Cam, I didn't think it was. How often does it break there ?

Nice video , good to see someone shooting from a tripod for once A few wobbly suppers out there to make the scratchers nervous...

I was going to comment on the camera as well nice depth of field , now I know why and yeah it's the old fisherman's dilemma cut bait or fish , surf or film.

I went down to botany bay for a sail the day the storm hit around 3.45pm in the arvo. There was a guy on a standup paddling upwind from bestic st, nth end of botany bay.
Must have been 15 knot sou wester and looked like he was doing it tough heading up wind heading for dolls point.
When the southerly hit I sailed for 40mins till I was knackered, saw the same guy doing the downwinder in 35-40+ knots, powering downwind at a good 20knots back to bestic st.
Anyone know who it was and how did he get his board back up to his car, 50 knot gusts at the airport at 4.30.
