I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Steve's like a great big horny spawning salmon ... nothing stops him swimming against the tide.

Why ... because he's always butting in ?

This one of Margo’s is super cool and the dude rides a 6’8 and paddles.
The line he takes on that wave is perfection I reckon.

So sick.
The only thing in hindsight would be to pump up a tiny smidge to a slightly higher line off the bottom after the turn to make the barrel instead of slowing right down.
It’s a kirra barrel after all, not Honolua.
But then again, if you make the barrel you weren’t deep enough .

Good to know that I have indeed been doing it properly for all these years ... and there I was questioning my technique.

Both sliding down and getting lip smacked or going high and getting lip launched doesn’t count.

Some of the footage of guys on longer boards looks insane.

Summer (December – May)
The summer wave climate is characterised by consistent trade-wind swell and tropical cyclones. During these summer months consistent southeast to east-southeast trade wind swells arrive in southeast Queensland as the subtropical high rotates over central eastern Australia.
The persistence of the southeast trade winds at this time of year generally result in the southern Gold Coast point breaks being the best locations for surfing waves due to the orientation to the impending swell direction and the protection that the headlands provide from the wind.

Spring (September – November)
The period from September to November is generally acknowledged as the ‘quieter’ swell season on the Gold Coast. This is due to the reduced frequency in the formation of swell producing east coast lows while the high-pressure systems are still situated too far north to direct southeast trade winds and swell toward the coast. These typically dry high pressure systems, centred over mainland Australia, typically bring about an increase in north to northeast sea breezes and ‘choppy’ short period wind swells during these months.
