It wasn't all bommies and points during Monday's big swell. Those who found themselves a beach that ran at the right angle of incidence had lefts for days.

Here's one such spot up in the Hunter with a mix of paddle and tow teams getting stuck in.

I think people should travel to the West a bit more... You'd understand why we think the East going crazy over something we get on the regular, is a little bit strange.

I like modern high performance surfing.
But, particularly the first half of the video, with the music and the simple lines being drawn, I felt I was back watching a great segment from an early 1970s surf movie. Very nice.
