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.

The Reaction of a Baby and it's parents when a Cochlear Device is turned ON for the First time is Unforgettable !

As AW knows and has shared , that's the beginning and an incredibly emotional and happy moment .

Imagine hearing a Sound U have Never Heard !

As the first sound is usually their Mother , a shocked huge smile is the result .

Bloody amazing !

There is so much the little pumpkin still has to work out .

Make a donation and Share the news on Social Media , like FB .

Its so easy , Pop could work it out .

CALL OUT TO ALL SWELLNET SUBSCRIBERS & NON-SUBSCRIBERS

I think it’s fair to suggest that most of us have enjoyed what Indonesia has to offer, surfing and other pursuits.

We live in a wealthy country with a low population base.

How about as a caring community, I encourage at least 1000 of us to donate $5 to this young fellow through the GoFundMe portal.

Five bucks is nothing to us, it’s a coffee for fuck same.

Many of us go on boat trips, average cost $4K-$6K inc. flights.

One unit cost of what we spend on a boat trip can change a young persons life, forever.

Let’s do the right thing, donate, I did earlier today and have noticed a few others as well. We could double the amount that exist in the fund today, overnight or tomorrow, it’s not hard, just push a few buttons and say goodbye to a scant amount of loose change.

Show us your real mettle and do the right thing.

Many of us have children. Take a moment to think how fortunate ours are. AW

that is very funny, I spell more betterer, but kudos to those who are donating.
udo drew attention to swellnet's history of supporting great causes in surfing-affected overseas communities. given the cracker WOTD, @AWs and PopD's recent heartfelt share, reckon we can all kick in a buck or two, even if to thank @AW for adding bracken and foliage to swellnet's reef. Cheers Robbie Goodwin, for reminding us to be stand up people.. daily.

Goofyfoot. Hi mate.

Great to hear from you…..and good on you for donating. When he’s finally kitted out and trained to hear, he will conquer anything that’s in front of him,, and one of them will be that almond shape wave at his front doorstep.

A society with like minded folks and morals, can make a difference to other people’s lives. Good stuff fella. AW

It's funny how some waves look good in photos but aren't that much chop and while other waves often dont look that great in pics but are actually real fun.

This wave always looks good even after you come in after a frustrating surf, but unless its real solid i find it frustrating just shifts a lot and always breaks three metres further out.

The left on the other hand isn't as photogenic but much more fun as are most of the other rights in the area.

All that said some guys love it and it has its days.

The Angle shows The Wall so well Solly .

Have never seen first hand any Points that start with A , this Walley , unfortunately .

A Victorian Wall is a bit Stronger , than NSW Wall and not suited 2 Stalling or applying brakes .

Go like a Bat out of Hell @ The Pop ( Winky ) .

I love a quick O/S Flyover and will Morocco and Shaken around .

Sounds so cool .

Got the MRI Image of my Right shoulder .

I hope my Doctor knows what she is looking at and expecting 2 hear Monday .

It all looks like Hieroglyphs on a Mummy , 2 me .

Something looks like I feel , white , unattached and separated .

As I said , I have NFI and prepared 4 anything :) .

ps What happened 2 Joffa's Golden Coat ?

Probably in the Collingwood Hall of Fame !

I liked Joffa's guts .

Spot On Solly !

Even the water temp looks the same !

I watched a clip of a guy getting towed into a Ferry Wave in Oregon last week .

One of the BEST clips I have seen , Red Hot !

If U find it , play the sound clip .

It's a Classic !

Hundreds of Ferries fly around creating waves in this State and Surfers Rule these waves 2 .

T’was beautiful waves west of Melbourne on both the day before and on the day of the cup. Nowhere near as busy as I would have thought. Monday sublime smooth 4ft runners.
Today’s photo at a guess is SA I think. AW
