homebreaks

[mattsphat]

[vortex]

another great thread!

My fav. You drive up to Palm Beach on Sydney's Northern Beaches and then you go out at the North end of the beach and paddle right around the rocky point because its out of sight but theres a very thick a-frame break around there and its called Bumsteers. Be careful the locals like to make snotty boogers walk the plank and there's plenty of sharks there that would love to fry you and eat you from a KFc bucket and i'm just another gayc_nt who likes to spill beans about waves. Oh gosh i've said too much the locals will ream me next time they see me and they see me a lot because i own this break but yeah but no but yeah but no but ok i'm going seeya out there!

Bumsteers is definitely my fave.

Notice how he names none of his own.

Note to PhatMatt: Naming breaks is NOT COOL. We're all well aware that there are almost no secret spots left, but there is no excuse for adding to the problem.

USE YOUR BRAIN. Say you've found a favourite break that's not so easily seen from the road and has some good banks at the moment - and it's relatively uncrowded. Would YOU want some goose posting it on the web, resulting in the mutant hordes invading the place? Result: fewer waves for you, and the ones you get are crap 'cos some hotshot is snavelling all the really good ones you had no trouble getting the day before.

THINK before you post, man.

home break -> snapper
(from the crowds out there i'm sure every one has heard of it already)

fav breaks surfed (in no particular order) -> jeffries bay, easties, rebounds, sharkies, snapper, shacks and the reef.

my favs arnt necessarily the best surf spots in the world but they stick in my mind as some of the best sessions i have had.

Homebreak is Bondi/Tamarama. Sometimes Bronte too.

Favourite breaks are Crescent Head, Lennox Head, Bower and pretty much any point break or non-Teahpoo type reefbreak that goes left or right.

Home spots are mainly Longy, Sth Narra and Mona Vale.

Favourite spot is 1hr 15mins from Cromer in good traffic.
Cannot be seen from any road. 10 mins walk on track and then beach from the nearest parking spot.
Can only be surfed between 1hr before high and 30 mins after. At low the reef is exposed and so is covered in barnacles and even oysters. You can’t even tell that there is a wave there at low.
Needs good wind conds and S/E swell, but only up to 4 feet. Bigger than 4 foot renders it un-rideable without occasioning death or worse.
You must take off inside the peak; there is no way of making it to the bottom otherwise.
When the wave hits the reef the water draws backwards at great speed and the face can nearly double in size, and the water drawing back flows over the edge of the reef make a pit, so you are surfing in a ditch.
The barrel, which is the only purpose of this wave, is extraordinarily big for the size of the original wave. A 4 foot wave turns fully overhead and you could fit a mid sized car in there. It is short, fast and loud, only about 10 seconds all up, but it can be 80% barrel.
My family had a holiday house at this spot until a few years ago so I got it regularly and with only 1 or 2 others, although for guys in the area it’s not really a “secret spot”.
When I know the conds are going to be just right I sneak off for the morning, but have never surfed it with more than 4 others, and during the week day, often no one.
If you know this spot you’re lucky, if you don’t…. sorry, I don’t feel good naming names here.

u claim to have surfed pipe and backdoor, yet you surf fairlight?

[KingOfFairlight]

read the post again, you'll see 'favourite (surfed) breaks' which is pretty self-explanitory and obviously pipe and backdoor aren't there.

if it really really bothers you though gumby, say so and ill put a 'IHAVENOTSURFEDTHESESPOTS' or something somewhere on the 'other favourite breaks' section.
