By default and design, I'm now almost purely a point-break surfer. It didn't start that way.

This morning, just as dawn broke in Manly, with a clean 3-5ft southeast swell running, Australia lost one of the icons of surfing and the surf industry.

No one's put as much time or study into this location as Sam Jones.

There's only one wave on the planet that does this and it's called Shipsterns Bluff.
