Sick waves, wish we were there instead of cold tassie.

Good work, Dave!
The mother of all roll-ins, that place. (Along with Aileens.)

Looks so tempting doesn't it?! I chatted to a dude post-big swell once, and he said he'd caught a huge roll in there and said: "best wave of my life and I will never do it again" haha.

I kooked one on a big day and slipped my bottom turn and got sucked up and over the falls and detonated, board was obliterated, copped the next 4 on the head, tried to swim only to stuck in the rip so swam down to the next reef and beached myself on dry reef to vomit up the Indian Ocean……good times……

Nice story! We had it smoking once - touch under that size - but a few of those double ups came through and had you scratching for the channel. Old mate at 3:51 - I cant even imagine what he copped after that close out. Knowing that at some point you have to get across the surgeons table.....looks tasty but freakin hairy. I have absolute respect for the crew taking off late on those bombs.
CraigMonday, 30 May 2022 at 12:30pm
Heavy!!!
joesydneyMonday, 30 May 2022 at 1:35pm
I should add that after I made it to the beach a little village kid came up with my board pieces asking if he could keep it ……. In between vomit and some tears I might have not been very polite…..that board is probably still in use and patched up and going strong

That Maya wave is a bomb

Bed red board and the hat? I thought that might be him.
joesydneyMonday, 30 May 2022 at 9:08am
Yup
Island BayMonday, 30 May 2022 at 9:40am
Imagine the waves and things that man has seen. Doris too.
joesydneyMonday, 30 May 2022 at 10:04am
Crazy life ! Definitely recommend a trip on the Barrenjoey if anyone gets the chance.
PanmanMonday, 30 May 2022 at 10:07am
Faaaaaark
billieMonday, 30 May 2022 at 10:50am
Looks quite good
SproutMonday, 30 May 2022 at 11:35am
Crazy. Nias pumping too.
Dx3Monday, 30 May 2022 at 11:49am
Awesome. Is that a claim gone wrong at 2min mark?
freeride76Monday, 30 May 2022 at 12:55pm
Only been to HT's once.
it was dead flat. Not a ripple, not even a hint of a breaking wave.
With a light onshore wind on it.
Always spins me out seeing it like this.
stunetMonday, 30 May 2022 at 1:01pm
Arguably, it's an even bigger spin out when it's breaking and you take stock of which way you're facing.
Premium bathymetry.
Island BayMonday, 30 May 2022 at 1:44pm
And to think that swell has to refract a full 180degs. It's a freak of nature that place.
AlfredWallaceMonday, 30 May 2022 at 2:47pm
Stu. Am i correct by saying the swell partly bounces of the Sumatran mainland, as we know it likes a west offshore but the coast faces east, do remember when cruising the mid channel between both masses of land that you’d see currents going in all directions. Would be interested if you could shed more light on this topic. Thanks

I just came back from 9 days at Ht's, left the week before this day. The winds have been super funky this year and the name Ht's - Hopefully Tomorrow got thrown around a bit. Beautiful spot, though this years LaNina is making for lots of onshore days unfortunately.
SolitudeMonday, 30 May 2022 at 8:45pm
You get the left good?
tyzee63Monday, 30 May 2022 at 8:58pm
Only surfed it once, there were a couple good days I heard.
scoopmasterMonday, 30 May 2022 at 1:32pm
Best video of it I've seen by a long way - Usually the barrel looks almond shape and pinches on the exit.
monkeyboyMonday, 30 May 2022 at 2:29pm
Bloody hell. I've surfed that wave at 4ft and that freaked me out (surgeons table...)
AlfredWallaceMonday, 30 May 2022 at 2:35pm
Had Lances Right primo 4-6ft with Scuzz’s boat Budyadahri twice in 2008 and again in 2010, its like no other wave youll ever surf again. The mind travels there often this time of year. Bravo to these boys.
quad fin kookMonday, 30 May 2022 at 3:18pm
Epic footage. Its called Lances Right! Not HT's. Can't name a wave twice.
goofyfootMonday, 30 May 2022 at 7:57pm
Incredible

How do pros get so good?
Island BayTuesday, 31 May 2022 at 6:50pm
Talent, practise, discipline.

Gotta have the first and then follow with the other two. Never had any of the three so got a job.
oxroxTuesday, 31 May 2022 at 8:23pm
Haven't surfed it but some waves look easy and then others look so heavy at that size.
