Dust wind waves with copious headlands for easy reference.

And those unique power poles.

I think anyone who is capable would be well aware of this place….
Would love to sit in the channel feet up and watch the show….
Those water photogs have got some nads ….
For once didn’t cuss at the ropes as that day looked by far the best option….

that was wonderful.  so well put together.  hectic editing/music precision (cheeky ghost-fade locality hints notwithstanding!) not a reel, but an organic adventure with mates.  robot god might be surfing visions' headland.  JB, what a calm legend.  (next time kipp is carrying a magical filming stick, he should just mime a few lines of something, make a great clip..  something like "I am the kipp, on a red stick tow rip, microphone, west coast with the jug, timbo homeground, off tap, unplugged..").  unreal POV manga-fringe shot!   reckon I might have driven past some bloke with a camera out the window, filming internal car shots recently..

Well done fellas! hasn't the shit show that you have helped to create at shippies and depot bombie done enough damage?
Mostly the same ego maniacs filming themselves film themselves ....
Pats on the back and pockets full of piss all round

wow, mikey, I heard there's a snowboard bus group going up to perisher to cut the slushy-sick discount-trip times at happy valley, 8, leichardt and tom thumb.. call themselves the razor-blades, cos of their sideways snow-scraping skills. they might have just read your comment about a sick bombie. hellmen, they reckon, stoked!

Attempting to remain at minimum, neutral here.

I’m surprised people travel so far for that wave. Even the POV fails to sell the reason it’s sought after.

It’s interesting that even in the freesurfer world and how remote this is, you get a fair congregation. I would’ve thought some of that crew would try to zig when the others zagged.

……don’t get me wrong, very epic wave and conditions. I’m sure a satisfying day.
I just can’t imagine surfers of that calibre find towing that super challenging and paddling a proper one is near on impossible (even for Bierke).

I dunno, it could be the camera angle. But definitely towing, less exciting to watch.

agree @Soli, I have local secret waves here, s-f calls "lesser known surf spots now hidden", which I appreciate, but fuck if more people shouldn't surf here and appreciate the changing moods of the ocean and its life. And get their heads out of their arses. For the price of 1/8 of a tank of petrol.
would I rather deal with 'people' or 'watermen' in my towns and beaches? Which would you and Mikey choose?

Every break was on wannasurf with directions 20 years ago. Secret spots are out, crowds are in. You're only choice now is whether or not to get angry about it.

I used to sit and watch that spot in the 80s when I was working at Yalta community. I surfed that coast by my self for years found lots of waves that were subjected to right conditions variables. Only once was I tempted to paddle out to this place super spooky paddle I remember it looked about 3-4 foot west swell once I reached the break it was 6 foot plus got smashed on 5 out of the 7 waves I took off on pulled back on plenty more never surfed it again as I would go to more user friendly spots. There is some big Noah's out that way seen quite a few from the cliffs and from one of the locals boats when we use to dive around there. Tim was a local SA lad asked us years ago back in the 70s to take him out to semi secret spots at the time when we met him at a party in Hallett Cove SLSC if I remember correctly he had a silver space type clothes. Me and my mates declined knowing full well the exposure would ruin the place. That was SA in the 70s locals only places surfed by few. Out on the crooked coast there was plenty of empty waves back then if you were prepared to look and wait. Some places are seasonal as tide times change with the yearly cycles.

The windmills and the jetty give the area away.. but who wants to surf that .. when you can still get castles, caves and granites empty at times ..in the evening, and lunch time ..google maps and internet forcasting hard now.. like cowabunga said watch the conditions and time it.. have been happy to see people paddle out at numerous spots, including the above, people complain but dont spend time getting to know a place..

First place i ever saw a flock of Major Mitchells come flying across,... a blur of pinks and bright oranges against the stark moonscape.
Special place to be sure but inhospitable should you find yourself alone and in serious trouble out there.

Ah, call me a cynic but I just can't help but think that all that old money could be better spent on things that don't involve burning a tonne of fuel to shine a spotlight on one of the last relatively empty coastlines in Australia.
Still, it's Monday morning and I'm at work so maybe I'm just grumpy.

Heavy waves and submarine sized sharks. And dust. So much dust.

Except for the paddle in attempts the video was all downhill after the drive at the start. I Lived north of Adelaide for awhile years ago, driving to work through the canola fields, brings back fond memories.

I usually skip past the crap at the start, but that made me want to pack up the wagon and head up through the gutter and turn left.
I also thought it was a good buildup seeing the worried looks of fear and self-doubt, as they prepared their gear, wondering why they put themselves through it.
I can't even imagine the feeling of rocking up to that, after the marathon drive in a cozy warm car, knowing I had no choice but to get out there and have a crack. A lot can go wrong, even with the ski on hand, and it's a long way from any help.
These guys are crazy. Thanks Tim, even some electric guitar for the music purists.

standard tim vid. great waves, shit music, too much slo mo, and too many visual references that give away locations. i know they arent secret spots, but the more you expose, the more the crowds come.
