Cory Roberts shines a clear light on the Snapper circus in this series of photos. From full-tilt action at the tip, where the performers make it appear so easy, to sublime moments down the point that almost appear contrived ("Tell the dolphin to jump now!"). All photos by Cory Roberts.

Way back in Easter...yeah, a whole two weeks ago...the East Coast was lumbering under a solid flat spell replete with persistent onshore winds. To make matters worse WA, SA and Vicco especially, were pumping during the five day break. Rather than hit the highway south or west, Pete Crichton jetted to Fiji and scored Cloudbreak in all its thunderous glory.

You know the ritual... The TV weatherman points to a promising feature on the map and says a few heartening words.
