What break is that at?
Looks like someone is getting dragged of the back of that wave

Would be nice to be able to drop everything and do sh!t like that.
Looks like a chopper was there, so I guess we will see a good vid in teh next week or so?

SE is actually offshore, or thereabouts. Seems S-SE to me. Yes, this must be a first if it is Cloudbreak. Have not seen kiting photos from there before. Totally jealous. Nice clean swell. Wobble on the wave face gives you an indication of the tide.

The Reef is not very far from the shore there at tamba sands, so big waves and high tide would mean the lawn would be to wet to mow

Good luck getting in that big barrel in the first pic haha, if the amount of speed you have isn't enough to deal with, that foam you have to run over sure would be. Can't wait to see some more stuff from this and other locations.

Rook comment if I ever heard one. You know you can controll your speed with the right kite controll skills. Give it time,,you will get it.
