From the Sideline
You can tell a lot about someone by how they respond to an injury.
Yesterday a Central Coast crew were getting pitted on the leftovers from Saturday's swell. Smaller and cleaner than the day before, it was just the right size for sand bottom shacks yet still big enough to get hurt. Which is exactly what happened when Jughead Allport come-a-gutser on a floater.
Rather than put his feet up however, he grabbed his camera, swam back out and shot the barrels he was missing out on.
The first wave is Boarderline Surf & Skate owner Marcus Davidson slipping into a beautiful pit, while the goofy in the backlit barrel is Kerry Down. He might've been on the sidelines but Jughead had a front row view of the action.//STUART NETTLE
