idk if it's the angle but looks like you have to adjust between an almondy barrel high line to a throaty af low line at the drop of a hat. so sick. also how was that back hander's reading of that wave with multiple sections. unreal.

Crews Peaked around 11:00 am High Tide > Lunch Hour
tbb spoke to several surfers from Dawn & Morning Sessions.
Consensus being the High Tide [11:00am] was Best...
tbb arrived a tad after Live Feed Guy had just snuck out...confirmed by next along.
Kirra Hilltop = 1 Spare [P] / sq km...
tbb did score [P] on back of the high 200m on the down-low outbound. (Stoked!)
Be a fluke to wrangle that again...
Kirra Surf Line-Up 150 / hr (Rotation)
Jet Skis (2/3 per ski) High Rotation 40-50 Jetskis / hr
(Average surfer be stoked to bum 1 Ride off Ol' mate) Met one that did!
Note tbb points out # Jet Skis = Prime Tripods + Lineup = Prime Spectators
tbb did pose the questions but never managed to pair Team Riders but seems to combo nicely!
Tripods 50 atop Kirra 20 1hr rotation / 20 session/s +10 Camped in Clifftop Nests
So yes...this does oddly reflect Jet Ski lineup intensity...might be a good future indicator...
Surfs Up 30/30 > Classic Mega Kirra 50/50
Current / Later Packages / Nature Docos / Live Feed / Gromz > Are you Filming me Mumz
Mum says : Been up here hours & yet to spot me Son > Board? Dunno! No idea!
Yer Dead to me Mum...Think Mum had better run...
Spectators atop Kirra 100/1hr rotation ( Maxes out Hand Rails / BBQ Tables )
Not packed coz there is Construction Road closures on both up approaches
Note: 100 = Max enough > affords 2m for 40 Cam operators panning the lineup.
Confirm "Boiling Hot thermals" rising up Kirra Lookout as Ol' mate fleed at Lunch.
Remaining crews hid in Shady Cliff side Nests + well tanned + Day Packs!
Hour/s After Lunch ...
Whirlwind picked up & blew Caps, Back Packs + Umbrellas about...
40kt gusts blew in early arvo stoking Cowabunga Hail Mary Sets...out the back!
Good vibes > Postie pulls a Sickie as Wind toppled his Bike...starts leaking..'Hey!'
Crew : "No ACA today mate...just hand out our Dole Cheques to buy our silence!"
Oceanway 150 hr slow to watch/film : Presents as moderate-risk near traffic jam.
No more than 10 tripods on lower Oceanway...
Each Spectator admits to each seeing around 3-5 Broken boards / hr (Approx)
Reports of 1/3 Broken Boards on Monday Peak Session.
Groyne 150 / hr rotation (Presents as Moderate Crowd > high risk for LGs)
Council likely sign posted Beach / Groyne Closures along Ocean Way...
Possibly contributing to lower Oceanway / Groyne numbers during hot midday!
Meaning tourists may have stayed in Resort Pools during Midday...Got it!
Plus many locals would not venture onto a high risk closed Groyne...
Footnote : Council would prefer less outpatient rubberneckers like tbb...Ok! Sorry!
But tbb did meet visitors repeat UK sightseers to Locals + Surfers from Byron
Just finishing Cheap Tuesday local Wrap...then outta here...
3,000 Spectators / week day with closed beaches
Average 1-2hr stay (tbb 3 hrs...just shy of a solid session)
300 blowin Vid samples > Pro Media 30/day or Full peak session
150>250 crews of 2/3 manning 50-100 Jet Skis each Morning / Arvo sessions.
50-100 broken boards/day or 1/3 smashed during Peak pounding / hr
1 rotational [P] / 1 km drivethru during peak hour.
Likely to get a little burnt as Spectacle & Surf Stoke overrides common sense retreat into shade...
eg: within a brief Cyclonic Wind Squall...
tbb was holding a Free Range Backpack & seeking owner of Leaking fallen Postie Bike..shh!
That's exactly wot tbb is talking about...Cyclonic Wind security breaches go ignored by Surf Spectacle..
Like Holy Shit...Thanx mate + Thanx mate...no biggie each do the same & all there agreed!
Sure if crew wanna Big Finish...tbb did pop the Question...
Every surfer tbb spoke to > forecast tomorrow as both bigger & a wash out...
Weird that tbb heard it repeated by around 15 local surfers thru the visit.
Not one local held out any hope for Big Wednesday...ALL say it's a lay day!
tbb least knows...only know crew would've wanted local answer to that question.
So was already half hearted & Live Feed breached tbb's sad isolation bubble!
Please know this is tbb's 3rd beach trip in 6 years & can't wade in past me knees!
So not a threat to yer precious line up...Alright + [P] was on arse end slope! Ok!
Best local Cheap Tuesday Wrap...
Yer crewmate was perched atop eagles nest & nestled in nicely.

Seriously don't give a Fvck who you are, take ur WPC at this location ( during this event) & FUCK OFF !!! You feeble wimps know who you are & you've now tainted the credibility of those who've come before you & adhered to the motto ... one paddler out, let's fuck off.
Pffft it's so fucking pumping, like it did in 74, however it is ... Kirra, not ... ( thank god,)
tubeshooterTuesday, 4 Mar 2025 at 10:46pm
I noticed some big claims coming from some of those guys who had the ski filming them on the inside after a step off.
Sorry, but claiming an assisted ride at Kirra when everyone else is paddling looks pretty pathetic, I don't care what your name is, or how good a tube it was.
SproutTuesday, 4 Mar 2025 at 11:02pm
I'm don't feel too strongly about it, but the step offs coming out of barrels and immediately looking for the ski camera is so fucking cringe.
nickcaTuesday, 4 Mar 2025 at 11:13pm
Sounds corny but well done to those who charged especially if you respected the inside and paddlers. Thanks to surf on mars for the music credit.. I felt sure it was Tumbleweed and surprised it was Elba Lane who I have checked out. Guess what? 25 monthly listeners on Spotify! Doesn’t sound fair . Get on board and have a listen. Hope they’re still gigging. Not on Facebook myself so couldn’t check that out, sorry. Have said it before but glad when musicians are credited.

Those ski wakes through the lineup down the end took a lot of perfection out of a lot of perfection.
juegasiempreWednesday, 5 Mar 2025 at 6:46am
Gotta be a better wave than the Mexican points when it's on for sure. Seems like a bit more of a zoo year on year but what do you expect? There's many lesser waves that are even more clogged up all around the world.
That said, fuck the jetskis. I can only imagine how many barrels they fucked up with their wash and yes, incredibly dangerous and a tragedy waiting to happen. I'm not the best surfer and getting out at Kirra or Snapper was always pretty doable even when big.
I used to rue the fishing boats in Latin America fucking up the waves but I was a guest in their country and they were working for their daily bread. I'm surprised in such a regulated country like Oz, it's such a jetski free for all.
