Reckless surfing hundreds of clicks from the nearest hospital, featuring Josiah Schmucker, Ben Serrano, Peter Hayes, Brett Burcher, and a host of bodyboarders.

Proving that the surfboard is the better surf craft, even in crazy slabs, as hardly any of the body boarders made it out of the barrel. Most of the surfers did however.
GONAD_MANWednesday, 29 Jul 2015 at 4:24pm
The stand ups were towed into them. The bodyboarders paddled into them. Big difference.
mibs-onerWednesday, 29 Jul 2015 at 9:12pm
The boogs were towing. At least some were you can tell by the ski wash and the rope but who am I to question Gonad man
TobiaslWednesday, 29 Jul 2015 at 10:44pm
Pointless remark, every one of these guys put their bodies on the line.
Insane footage
scottishspongerMonday, 3 Aug 2015 at 12:12pm
Its not a pointless remark. Who said they didn't put their bodies on the line and what has this got to do with my "remark"? It was a justified observation based on the video. Watch it and tell me how many bodyboarders make the wave compared to the surfers. I didn't cast aspersions onto any of the bodyboarders out there, I was commenting merely on the choice of wave craft. They are clearly all talented chargers. I just feel the surf board is a more sophisticated wave craft which makes it arguably easier to exit barrels. Your remark now seems pretty pointless, no?
Rabbits68Thursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 6:00pm
More so proving that your a dickhead I would suggest Scotti. Or were you out there charging, if so, my sincere apologies.....
scottishspongerMonday, 3 Aug 2015 at 12:08pm
Rabbits68 - could you explain why I'm a dickhead please? I merely pointed out that, based on the video, the surfboard appeared to be a more superior surf craft as those riding them made it out of most of the barrels, whilst the BBers didn't. I wasn't out there no. And I didn't cast aspersions on anyone who was. The BBers were charging as hard as anyone and I didn't suggest otherwise. They appeared to be let down by their choice of surf craft however. Sponger is a slang term for a bodyboarder by the way, which I used to be. You're way off-target directing any of your vitriol toward me and clearly have problems articulating your thoughts. As a result you have to resort to abusive name calling.
Rabbits68Monday, 3 Aug 2015 at 12:17pm
So Sponger is this clip your scientific study into surfboards v BB & which is the superior craft in all conditions including slabs? Who cares? was my point. The clip showed serious commitment & skill from all. The clip was edited so basing your grand statement on it, I thought, was a remark worthy of a dickhead. However as I have clearly offended you, I'm sorry.
Eugene GreenThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 6:35pm
Perhaps Stu is more of a board rider than a wave rider. Maybe there was no advertising dollars in it for him so he didn't bother doing a bit of research to find out the names of these equally talented hellmen.
stunetThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 6:41pm
Just writing for the audience Eugene, but I think Sprout knows that. If we were a BB site the situation would be reversed.
Eugene GreenThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 6:46pm
No worries mate. But I thought this was a swell forecast site. Oh well.
stunetThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 7:00pm
It is, but it's generally for stand up surfers. We bought Fluidzone for BB'ers.
udoWednesday, 29 Jul 2015 at 11:56am
Heavy shit , good to see the filmer not include any identifying landmarks, shame the instagram posters don't do the same.
Rabbits68Wednesday, 29 Jul 2015 at 12:09pm
Hardcore maniacs!! All summed up right at the end. Intense place....
zenagainWednesday, 29 Jul 2015 at 2:02pm
Couldn't have said it better Rabs. And I might add, some great camera work and really cool angles.
southeyWednesday, 29 Jul 2015 at 4:46pm
This place is mesmerising when its on . Last time i was there (10 years ago ) i spent nearly half a day watching it .... empty .... . Then a few numpty's start showing shots of the background 5 years ago , nek minute theres a crowd ..... yeah udo good on this video guy !? as for the other people gramming %*&#.
How hard core is the shocky , plus the draw off the reef . A few waves there - no one would have made it .

Crazy footage but too much slow mo becomes annoying I reckon. I wanna see the dude drop in and get kegged and spat out or flogged. Next.
rooftopThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 1:59am
Mental. Beautiful. Amazing.
cripThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 9:05am
I got 3/4 way thru and killed it. Way too much slow-mo, I got bored with it. Pity, coz otherwise it would have been great.
eelThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 9:25am
Agreed. Awesome waves but the slow mo is cheesy and boring. Would be much better seeing the action in real time.
zambeziThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 3:04pm
So the promise of "to the grave" went out the window.
Eugene GreenThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 6:44pm
Nothing's sacred anymore. Ego wins every time. Have you been on Instagram lately? low key spots exposed all for a few "likes".
spencieThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 4:39pm
Hell men
rjlThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 6:54pm

Eugene GreenThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 7:00pm
Careful mate don't get in the way of anyone's entertainment or those promoting surfing for profit.
More surfers = more dollars! You're fighting a losing battle. You'll get eaten alive!
camlThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 7:27pm
Hi richie . This session is the most documented day in Australian history . Good to see a few lidders in this clip tho . It has been flogged for a year but who cares
Eugene GreenThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 7:55pm
That's the spirit Cam, who cares?! But where will you escape to next?
DingdoctorThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 8:37pm
Explain yourself please camel. I'm sure there are plenty of people in the area you've blown into that care.
camlThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 8:54pm
Fucked if I know the answer for yous ? Have a look ... close up
wellymonThursday, 30 Jul 2015 at 9:00pm
