O.C. has it's own charging maroubra boy (o.k. maroubra gentleman) in wayne k.
we surfed inside a secret river mouth yesterday, 2 foot waves, the wave EXPLODING


from my vantage point he looked like a piece of flotsam getting worked into the crevices of the rocks!
the damage?
a few scrapes to the body and 2 carbon fiber fins busted out of his south african tri fin and some minor rail damage.
CHARGING like its 1969

The athleticism, guts and reflexes displayed in those clips is amazing. However, I see no point in surfing "OURS". Using the risk/benefit analysis equation, I don't see how they come out ahead.
I've been riding waves for 7 years now, and while I'm starting to explore the world of reefs and shorebreaks, a wave like "OURS" looks quite literally like suicide.
I have to tip my hat to them though; the surfing is amazing, its like they took the Wedge, dropped a shallow reef below and just for fun, placed rocks scant feet away from the tube at all times.

Ya know, none of these guys paddled out behind the peak the first time they tried this place. I'm sure they started as far out on the shoulder as possible and worked their way back. With that said, it takes a lot of sack to even try that wave.kneelingBROTHA wrote: I've been riding waves for 7 years now, and while I'm starting to explore the world of reefs and shorebreaks, a wave like "OURS" looks quite literally like suicide.
I surfed a place in Nova Scotia that had a big slab of rock right in the middle of the takeoff spot. After bobbing around that thing for 30 minutes, we figured out a way to surf the spot and had the place wired in about an hour. The trick: Take the wave *with* the boil, otherwise you end up too far inside and have to deal with a lot of other rocks.
Then the tide changed and we didn't have that place wired
