I was on that trip
That footage is at le Morne in Mauritius - basically one heavy set up - wave drains the reef so it looks like there is only half a foot of water 10 ft in front of the wave
even surfing it you had to be picky or it felt like all your fins were going to get knocked out if you went too far inside - Scotty tore the bejesus out of it - the best sessions happened when i was sailing (i was overpowered and over boarded) - so the camera actually missed the best action.
Great location - but heavy and confronting - especially given the currents and distance off shore - definitely only for the most hardcore and committed sailors
Hookipaa nd the NW desert are an absolute walk in the park by comparison
Finally; some music I can understand, by some musicians I can relate to...
Any idea who it is Matt? I don't see a credit.
music is the National Geographics from an album called the coffee lounge, Chaplin/tinkler/rex/Lambie
no wuckas
v. sozz n' that
(but I got you some green thumbs)
You sailing Windang this sat?
That last comment may have been a little too controversial for some, I apologize.
I'm down in Gerroa with the family for Father's Day so I'll stay south. Any other recommendations down there?
Talking of controversy, heard you were going to post a review of your new board...
Speak and the Forum shall decide!!
Sound idea. I definitely second The Vampires suggestion. Just wish they'd travel over to the west occasionally....

it's just the tyranny of distance thing. I know they're always happy to be on the road but Perth is really hard with logistics. The only time I've played there was at the Ellington with a contemporary big band and I think we made $50 each. Kind of hard to justify it when the airfares are ten times that. Works both ways though, there are some unbelievable musos from WA but it's really hard to hear em over here; Jamie Oehlers, Ben Vanderwall, Carl Mackay Matt Jodrell...
The bank off the entrance won't break. Needs to be 5ft up. I might go up the gong.
Hey George, that's what we have always worked on, min 4 mtr swell. Seems alot shallower at the river mouth now and breaking on a smaller swell. What you recon?
was out there under head high ok but the beach was better, just less wind.
the sand does not seem as good as it can be, but i'm no local.
So it does break now on a smaller swell? I'm going to stay in syd as Brett said it wasn't breaking at all.
