Corner of Box and Main

The surf pumped in Margaret River yesterday for the Telstra Drug Aware competition. Yet as good as the surf was at Mainbreak - and at 6'-8' and offshore it was pretty damn good! - spectators were distracted by the action going down on the other side of the bay. The Box was throwing out meaty slabs for a hungry horde, amongst them Kelly Slater who attracted an armada of boats and even a heliicopter to document his session. 14-year old uber-grom, Jack Robinson, also threw himself over a couple of cliffs.

Margs up close

As far as summers go West Oz is having a cracker. While there's been nothing huge they've been copping plenty of mid-range swell with good conditions to boot.

Last week our Margaret River reporter, Calvin Best, swum out to his local to photograph a few of the lads at close range. In typical style the natives are riding longer boards, taking off late and laying a bucketload of rail.

A Large Slice of the West

The weekend just passed was a big one in WA. On Saturday a large, long-period swell made landfall under light east-south east winds. Overnight the swell jumped further and Sunday morning dawned with conditions as good as they get.

Swellnet's Margaret River reporter, Calvin Best, zipped around the south-west region shooting a few different breaks.
