The wave of the day does it for me big time. Nice work Steen Barnes , Shaun Anderson and Swellnet.
In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.

In this digital and over saturated world it is rare to fire up a webpage and go ‘Woaaaah’. I did that just then.

That is psycho! What an absolute charger. Great shot Steve, great wave riding Adam .

Proud SA icon like the pie floater, the Hills hoist, frog cakes, bung fritz and pasties.
Last forever, termites hate them, just don't slam into one, steel and concrete don't crumple.
Thankfully they are gradually replacing the ugly bastards with underground wires.

They could dump them off Middleton point to create a half decent break.

They could use them to build a wall along the Victorian border.

nooo.. we SE SAers need the breaks near the smelter when the wind is like this.
plus a soggy Clark's pie from Mortlake is nice about once a year.

The wall would just be to stop the riff raff from getting in, not to stop us from getting out, especially if there is a pie at steak.

*phew* I'm in then. If it stops blue/white number-plate bozo convoys bringing their safety-flagged, recovery-trax-adorned urban spaceships across to Piccaninnie and Canunda, I'll vote "1 old-dog".

The Riff Raff of Australia WILL be discouraged by an Australian , Stobie Pole Wall .

It will bloody work , no joking .

The smart ones , like U guys , will find all the holes , the nooks and crannies , to enable U 2 drive round , over or through IT , at 110km 2 get a pie ( they sound tasty ) .

No fn worries imho .

Melbourne is FULL , build it :) !

We have enough riff raff :)) !
