Despite the lumpy conditions, Nick and I embarked on a bit of an adventure this afternoon and I found myself somewhere I never thought I would.

Unfortunately I ate it a hell of a lot more than I surfed but this is far from my last encounter with this beast.





And as stupid as it sounds, I'm a lot more scared now looking at the images then I was out there, go figure.

Well Kristi and Nick paid their dues a few times and I almost did too on one rogue set whilst shooting on the inside.

Nick pleased that the peak didn't shift this time and he actually got to go right.
The previous wave pitched him into a steep left the look on his face was price less.


Kristi just making it over this time!



Kristi getting another Corona experience on the inside.


East and SW swell meet.


Kristi paddling for the shoulder as fast as she can.



They both had a ball and the 2 frothing grommets are making plans for the next trip out when the swell hits.

LQQkS interesting,on a dead still day I think it would go off.What size boards were they paddling?I think a rather long board would love it.

Gulp!! Was that Cow bombie or down Inverloch way? By the way have fun in the states Kristie and bring back some silverware!!! You don't need good luck when you've got ability!!!!

Hey Mick,

I agree with you I 1st rode this wave 4 years ago on my 12ft PSH gun and it was a lot of fun, the flip side is with a big board you pay the price when it all goes wrong.

We didn't get the best conditions as I could get there until after 5pm. The wave was filling in but there was still some steep drops on the bigger sets.

On a low tide with some size this wave is very steep and solid.

I couldn't steer, shoot and watch the waves at the same time and had a close call at one point. We will take another crew member next time to get some inside images.

The bombie has multiple peaks that pop up over about 50m and you get surprised all the time, ask Nick about that one.

The fore ground is higher than the back ground so you cant get a transit or line up either. You need to take out a couple of buoys as markers for the inside.

Nick got a smokin steep left that I am sure with stick with him for a while.

Main thing is was lots of fun and great experience.

More fun to come me thinks, the 2 frothing groms ( 17 and 40+) have plans
