At a quick glance, doesn't the homepage image look like a reverse Skeleton Bay?

Anyway, for a while there it seemed as though the swell would never end. Day after day, the Gold Coast points dished up mindblowing perfection across shallow, ruler-edge sandbanks - perfectly aligned for the sou'east energy. 

Jesse Little fired up the drone and captured these incredible pits.

Hey Ben!
How's things? I'm going to say that was some of the best "point break" barrel drone footage ever filmed .

Fark, something's gotta be done about all those jet-skis. Some guys really taking the piss out there. If it was my local spot I'd be asking them to go somewhere else.

Yeah i totally agree, if it's allowed too continue imagine in ten years time there won't just be a few there will be ten times as many skis.

I think it really is going to take someone to die before something is done.

We've had the odd one try down my way and they were'nt ASKED to leave if you get my drift. When the ski gets close enough call'em over nicely then explain your just getting a closer look at their rego number to report them to the maritime for being to close to swimmers. They move on pretty quickly.
