I've had the luxury of pioneering a few epic sup waves in my time.
outsides - A outside ledge in Newcastle that only starts to break at 6ft and holds 10ft max, loves the South - SE swell
ledging take off followed by a big wall that runs into deep water. Every session had it to myself and really had use land markers to line myself up.
miss the adrenaline and being scared of those crazy back reef bombs.
SUP Island - Port Kembla, NSW
when I moved to Wollongong I discovered my dream wave
best at 6ft, a left hander point break on a island known as a old seal colony, great whites they say.
Not the first one to surf it, but definitely was always on it over the 4 years I was in the gong, and always just me out.
Hands down the most challenging sup wave I've surfed and on my backhand even more challenging.
Having relationships with certain waves is such an experience. I love figuring out all of the facets of waves that carry serious power and will humble you real quick.
Ive also been fortunate to score some fickle reefs and river mouth set ups with no one out, especially living in my car/van for 6 years.
from the south coast all the way to Apollo Bay in Victoria, to now in NZ.
i miss my old friends and I hope in this lifetime I get to come and say hi and we can ride together once more.
just you and me together.
