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.

When we first went there the WOTD , we were the only ones there .
No camp grounds , no cars , nobody.
Everyone stayed at the other wave.
We were able to have a joint in the car park, without having to hide behind the dunes
Weird feeling
Made the jump off and paddle out interesting though!

A wonderful photo , that's on Fire !

I was watching Winki Cam , noticed these Clouds of Salty droplets swirling behind waves and thought the Cam or my laptop was getting misty .

It was remarkable watching 12ft waves , become 8ft faces , with the other 4 , flying back and Up .

The surfers were doing remarkably well , paddling In2 them .

Wind was sure holding Up , the Wall 'y , waves and the surfing was unbelievable , with tubes galore !

An incredible sight , 4 an old bloke !

The whole Place was On Fire and it was Raining all day , in the water , with waves .

Big paddock on the corner of Blackgate Rd & Horeshoe bend Rd losing tonnes of red/brown dirt by being blown into the wind and heading offshore - maybe this accounts for the red/brown colouring in the shot ?.

Hello Ken

That's very interesting .

I also noticed a Brownish Tinge in the Water , during the afternoon and wondered Why the Runoff .

It sure was howling , with everything getting blown Off Shore .

No one was going 4 Air's , as would have ended up @ King Island , riding a Storm cloud .

Both surfers and wind , were Tearing Big Waves apart .

An incredible , picture !

@ Bnkref
Around 1980. It was known back then , but obviously wasn’t surfed that much.
I think the boil step made it a bit scary
They seem to charge a lot harder these days.

Incredible shot Brett!
...and sorry I had to, one little spot healing click and I can breathe. I wish I could do the same for the ant that decided to die in my monitor. Tip for players at home, if an ant gets stuck in your panel, turn your monitor off immediately and let it find it's way out. When left on they get cooked and die, stuck in full view in my case. Annoying like a dead pixel x 1,000,000. And now it's sticking out like dogs balls again ffs, off to the office then...

there's some google machine research for you to engage with @PopD, but if you mean Ben the Wiz of swellnet, he's regular footed, which would beg some fascinating wotd questions. (got any pics of your warehouse set up?)

I just thought Chippy looked a bit like Ben's photo and used it to move threads :)) !

The Big Brick Warehouse, just off Chapel st , has 4 units with me at the front , base 6'y .

2 storey and my place is a rectangle , 18m by 24m ish , with the Main bedroom upstairs .

Middle walls are Waimea height , 6 meters , at least .

The Artwork and furniture look great .

My 4ft Bower & Wilkins speakers , the Towers of Power ( the name of Little Feats Horn Section ) , have been turned Up , with complete abandon , as the Set Up , is cool !

Mum came over yesterday , desperate to CLEAN , anything .

Got her to give me decluttering advice instead , she doesn't like Old Men putting Up 2 much Stuff lol .

Eldest daughter was over last night and she had good news with a new Full Time Job , she is a Casual @ the Herald Sun and had decided not 2 become a journalist .

With a bloody Big Law Firm 2 and she isn't a Lawyer lol .

I was banking on a Bank , she said that's now on the back burner .

That was a big surprise .

A newly created role , which she described as , starting to climb the corporate ladder .

She is reporting directly to the General Manager haha lol , so a decent rung 2 start on imho .

Partnership Administrator !?

I will do better than put up pictures :) .

Next time U are in Melbourne , please Pop over , really .

We can organise a guided tour of Pop Galerie , through Adam 12 .

With Sleuth's like Udo and AW , on SN , I won't post pictures here :) .

AW can work out where anywhere is , it's bloody amazing !

I am looking forward 2 reports from the AW regarding the Great Darwinian Tour of Australia .

Cheers mate !
