Funnily enough, Gary was conceived at a beach just round the corner from the wave in today’s WOTD. With the movement of sand in the area, it’s highly likely there’s a little piece of Gary at most beaches in the vicinity.

Stu, with a caption like that you certainly left yourself wide open for Gary, so to speak.

Wrong side of the continent, Pete. Though you've brought back some great memories of sessions there.

I paddled out there one day after rousting some low life lurking by the car door when I came back from the dune lookout ... I was forty years older than the crew of locals out there. Good lads they were, let me have five long waves before withdrawing the invite.
... and, just quietly, those rumours about a little calm sea slab on the north side of the island just a way south? All untrue, right?

It's a shame every punter driving the road can see it. I just got sent some very good shots, taken this morning, from a sometime reef a little ways north of it that's more obscured from passing traffic.

When asked if it was the best Honalua Bay she’s seen, NVD replied there was this one time between the semi and the final that Strider and she had to themselves. That comment pricked my ears. Does WSL have the wave on lock down at that time, or could the average Joe (me) paddle down from the top and jag one or two sets. Anyone know?

SD you can def get out there in between heats if there is time but more so the gap between the final. Mick Free did it a pumping J-Bay I think just him and Slater. Got one through the comp area and then the final kicked off.

Forget the comp. Did he bottom turn or go straight? I reckon he’s left the turn too late.

Today's WOTD is sumptuous. The colour of the water and the deep
green of the dense jungle is what PNG is all about. Made me wonder
if the PNG Explorer goes on surf missions to the West Papua region ?

Sure has. Today's got sent to me on, from memory, Christmas Day. At any rate it was taken the day before Christmas. When I first opened the email I was underwhelmed. No explanation why, but I was.
Yet when I revisited the email the other day I thought there must've been a mistake. Same photo? No way!
Like discovering an overlooked Christmas present.

Wonderful to see the WOTD of Ellie Brooks on the single fin at Burleigh. Also nice to see the moment captured is the bottom turn, such a vital part of setting up a wave and often forgotten for all the tubes and airs. Poetry in motion. :)

Go Parko! This is the one event i would've loved to see. Swellnet, it'd be great if y'all can get on board with this one next year, could u? would ya? Couldn't get any coverage apart from the live scores from surfing queensland online, which broke down during the finals. Noth'n like watching an event on the natural amphitheatre of Burleigh Hill. Id dare say its probably surpassed the wsl events at snapper just based on the location , pure enjoyment and stoke of the spectator . Parkings a bitch, but throw in some music, sick food trucks , quality local venues, young and old local and international rippers and rideable waves and Bobs ya mothers Brother! Was working both days , Spewing!!!
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.
