Some paddle-ins trying to catch some of the offerings at Wedding Cake Island now.

Not the break off the headland, the way out and south of the island wave.

Hard work without a tow.

Hey Don, with all due respect why not post your thoughts here?

Ummmm, I'm pretty damn sure I do post my thoughts on here quite regularly. I do a weekend forecast for SE Qld on Surfphotos out of kindness for the owner of the site.

FYI Steve, Surfphotos receives no income and the site is run out of the pocket of the owner. Oh and BTW, you click on the link by choice, I'm not holding a gun to your head to click on it!!!

So it was Laurie?
That figures.
He'd be one of the few homo sapiens with enoough sack to paddle into that.
Any more photes out there?
