Yesterday was pretty epic. Watched the whole thing online.

It'd be a great shame if the tour lost chopes. It's a special place.

Billabong, yesterday, were promising live coverage of tow-ins today even if the ASP event was on a lay day, I got up early to watch and they changed their mind saying it's too dangerous to risk losing their equipment.
Gutted :(
The wave at Curl Curl is so good they had to name it twice :mrgreen:

KS ... To my untrained eye, it looks like they were closer ... Possibly that ski that was in front of you? Either that or they've cropped it and zoomed it in? But if they zoomed it in without pixels, why wouldn't swellnet have done the same before they put it up.

Either way Shearer, its the money shot of the day. You better be getting paid

On a side note ... I just saw some heavy footage on youtube that got my heart racing. Whoever it was on that monster where it looked like it ran dry.

How the hell they did not die right then and there, I'll never know.

Shearer were you shitting it in the channel?

I think just sitting in the channel would have been confronting for me?

Any boats nearly eat it?

Dingo was giving it a red hot go too, huh?
