Snapper Rocks today - video
For three days Queensland has been doused in swell courtesy of a burst in the trade wind belt. No cyclone, no storm, just a gentle but well aimed wind regime.
Jackson O'Brien brought this footage home from afew hours on the sand today. Featuring Mitch Parkinson, Mick Fanning, Asher Pacey, and Josh Kerr amongst others.
Comments
Mick Fanning gets around because Surfing Australia says he also"hosted today's Expression Session, where 30 lucky event participants got the opportunity to surf alongside the former World Champion" at the Mick Fanning Rip Curl GromSearch National Final yesterday, the 13th, the day this vid is dated.
Meanwhile, bizarre scenes this morning at contest site North Narrabeen when the main break - which has around 3 peaks - was cleared for kid on kid 'action'. They had 2 in the water at a time and very little surfing was getting done at one of Sydney's most popular spots with 99% of waves going through unridden while the locals were pushed further down the beach as a couple of 10 year olds surfed like 10 year olds.
Not a good look and a waste of waves.
