Western Tension

OK, we can hear the grumblings from over here. For the last few weeks - hell, probably the last few months - West Oz has been getting pumped by swell yet what have you seen on Swellnet - not much since the big Drug Pro went down at Margies. So then, this is our meagre attempt to bring some parity to the party. Clean lines and slick moves in and around Perth with all photos taken by local snapper, Mike Maxted.

PS: That's Luke Campbell swingin' from the rafters.

The 1-2 Combination

Last Friday we ran a session, Punching above it's weight, that warned of the perils of dismissing the Perth beachies. Just when you call bullshit they'll swing a right, such as the one shown in those pictures, and knock you down a peg.

Turns out it wasn't a one hit wonder either. Here's some shots that Mike Maxted took, also from the Perth beachies, of a knockout left. A great combination from an overlooked stretch of coast.

Punching above its weight

It's an often-maligned surfing destination is Perth. With islands that block swell, beaches that closeout, and one of the world's best big wave destinations just three hours south, the Perth surfer must be patient and keen. Those that are, however, can get rewarded with the odd knockout session. Such as Luke Campbell here, getting horribly pitted across the front of Mike Maxted's lens yesterday. //STU NETTLE
