Probably one of the worse hidings I've had was at double overhead Kirra. Late take off, pulled in deep, put the end section of the tube pinched off before I could squeeze out. Then cartwheeled and driven down flat onto the sandbank and got absolutely butchered.

I get what ur saying but based on 20 yrs up there and 10 yrs down here I disagree. Sure, Kirra can be razor fast and challenging. But it's a lot more predictable and manageable than some of the shifty uneven raw and full volumed waves down here. And some of the beachies down here will easy hold a le...

^^^ What, those points are better than Bondi and Bronte? ;) Mate. I'd be lucky surf those spots once every 2 years. But the points are mind-bendingly perfect. They're surreal. Easy waves to surf that lend themselves to a higher level of performance, by default. On the points up there, your challeng...

i need to get back up there again more often. this once a year family trip stuff aint cutting it. i spent 20+ years surfing them points and i sincerely took it for granted how good they can be.

^ that's insane.

In any case, it still looks like a hot board. For six foot points up there, u have a lot of options for whatever board. Those waves are that perfect that it more just comes down to how u wanna surf and less about "will the board handle it". But the meat on that thing looks ideal for the paddle-fest....

What's second groin been doing ? Much of anything ?

the foil on that board looks hot. great sweep paddler for the points.

Sounds like just the very thing based on those pics u posted up. It'd be like putting calligraphy pen to fine paper. Beautiful lines.

Itching for the weekend, as this mornings dawn raid didn't eventuate. A blown out mess and not overly inviting or worth the bother ..

Great report. Well written. Those conditions look majestic. What board/s have you been tackling it with ?

Anyone got the lowdown on expected size at dawn tomorrow sydney and surrounds ? Bigger than 6 ft ?

damn. to surf a razor sharp sand point barrel like that again. it's all easy-streets for you peeps up north when it's "on". where i'll be heading for the before-work dawn raid wednesday & thursday's gonna be more like this. raw meat burgers with the lot. no perfect kirra, but still a buzz though. ht...

y'know Iggs, I don't think the models, let alone BOM have any clue how this low will resolve itself ok, thanks for your 2 cents. will keep a close watch on it tomorrow evening, and prep some vegemite sammiches and OJ for a dawn-raid wednesday morning. will pack a couple of boards in case it's eithe...

Wednesday and Thursday. Sydney and surrounds. What's gut feel and or vs the charts telling us ? Double to triple overhead ? Too early to call it ?

I chose to ignore it. As that animal chin twink is likely to have another semi-meltdown.

2-3 foot soupy peak stuff. mostly burgers, but the odd bowl section here and there. took the 6'2 webber 'the one' shortboard out. it lit up ok on some of the more bowly waves. managed to get one good satifying backhand vertical belt out of it. felt the fins punch thru the lip, saw a fair wack of spr...

6'4 black beauty as a close second What type of waves do you use the black beauty in? well, i no longer have one as a ledge ate it. but i did have one a while back that i used mostly in 6-8 foot groundswells. essentially they're a step-up board, and you need bigger powerful waves to get the best ou...
