I'm sure that Brendan would have surfed
much better if he had been on an 8'3" and not an 8'5".

(see Howbigisyourboard-itis thread)
But seriously, great surfing and photos.
DJ - Mike may have taken some time out from surfing to get behind the lens, but he did it still in his wettie and was straight back out there again. From memory, I think he had at least six hours surfing that day.
I think the bank Brendan was surfing was hideously crowded that day - eight surfers in total! We moved down the beach a bit later and had a left to ourselves. Aaaah, Melbourne in mid-winter, the place to be.
