Yesterday I snagged a seat aboard a mate's super high speed bowrider and headed to a hard to reach break know only as "The Box". Here, we were greeted with sunshine, light winds, warm water and great left-handers peeling down the bank, perfect for practicing my backhand attack.

Here's some footage of the waves...

Nice work Casso, that's the first video I have seen of the box. I was there on Sunday, similar conditions but the swell was a little smaller.

The box is very shark infested!!!never breaks!!!is not good for SUP!!!!has a local called scotty who is very aggressive!!!and should be avoided at all costs so do not tell anyone where you were.

A few nice 3 footers in there Casso. Looks like you had all the fun. The shorties would have been struggling.

The Sucker cam that you use being higher off the deck than the standard fcs plug connection gives a much better perspective of the action and the sun is in the right place too.

Yep ... totally lovin' it.

Yep ... and totally lovin' it.

They were a bit. Heaps better on a SUP - easier to get into them, easier to paddle back out.

Was it really long?

Very long - but most of them were unmakeable to go the full length on one section. Longer rides at your point!

That'd be the "Flipper" - it enhances visual clarity whilst critically re-positioning the surfcraft within confined spaces (ie. easier to see when turning).

Yeah nice work casso, but I must say there is only one "box" and it is in Margaret River and it makes that wave look like kiddies corner

So true, Brooko. I would never compare this box to WA's box. I would also never surf the real box on a SUP - don't think I'd even attempt it on a standard board.
