G'day Beezers
Cloud Break was hugh today with 12ft plus sets if it wasn't as windy it would have been 15ft+ easy it was great to watch. As it was to big for me Help Me Please Mr Wizard Ben Wilson was Kite boarding apparently Ben is the best Kite boarder in the world they hired a helicopter with Stewart Gibson taking photos. There's about 10 big wave pro surfers that flow in for this swell but only saw 4 of them Markhealy & Reef McIntosh Rico Jimianze Mark Visor. Watching Reef McIntosh surf was amazing the 28yo Hawaiian was ripping he was surfing the 12ft+ surf like you would surf a 4ft wave got the best pig dog on this big bomb, they are saying tomorrow will be even bigger? Just like a Guinness beer I like to watch Dean Morison is in town he surfed big Wilks Pass yesterday. Restaurants was pumping this morning but the current was to strong.

I know a few of the kiters that are there ATM, apparently it is going off!!!

If you look closely one of them is getting dragged over the wave on the right of the picture.
This was shot yesterday, it was bigger today.

If you make it to Merimbula in November for the Corona Classic you'll get to meet Ben in his home town.. .. He is very good.

I have a feeling his next vid is going to be a beauty..
