Pretty small on the reef out In front of the airport today - waves elsewhere though . This is Mick's playground when he is in town. Must be due another trip soon !

I reckon that morning would of had the odd head & 1/2 at mids 2, always way bigger than it looks & that actually looks pretty decent size really

I was going in April while Fumi is in Japan, but decided to save more beer money for Europe instead. Next Bali trip might be next wet season.

Have a good one mate, I'm hella jealous...even if I did get some fun uncrowded waves this morning, would love to be in Bali right now

You would need to choose where to paddle into them from - some of those sections look almost impossible to take off on

Understand your predicament there Mick. The following wet season awaits.......

True story

Just spent the last 4 days there Got back home today.
And yep this what it was like alright in this order...
Super crazy in the water with guys dropped in on and ran over everywhere.
Tuesday was by far the best day the swell jumped a little and in the arvo the wind had a little west in it.
I saw some 8 - 10 second barrels being made and it was crazy crowded.
Got ran over twice in the one session and had a side fin wizz by about 1 foot from my face ( scared the shiz out of me )
Scored a couple but had to spend hours in the water to get em .
I would say the best section was in front of greeny with some super fast barrels being had by all.

Hey Locky,
Which boards did you ride while you were there?
Going to give your new orange rocket a run on the weekend?

Where's the vomit smiley?
Lunacy!

ive been out with my back infection from a procedure and been out for nearly 2 weeks so ive missed the action.

I love the wave but for my money I prefer the waves to be good for beach breaks. one of the reasons to get a long board was to ride those point waves smaller with way less crowds .

mostly I like to take my short board too in case it jacks up a bit or something.

its nice to score those sneaky sessions that haven't been all over the internet with vids and predictions.

social media and the internet are killing surfing.

I'm really over the media beat up- its just adding to the crowds and inherent danger.


locky your accounts are correct. its fearsome. almost to the point if you get out intact its a good day

Whinge all you like about the crowd and sure blame the media,but hey Snapper has been in the spot light for years and like it or not is on many a surfers bucket list.

Lacey I hear you but look at all those awesome days we've had over the years at Snapper,don't let the the big swell,media hype and full blown crowd max out get in the way of fun,watch and enjoy the show zoo style and all,it will be back to us average punters soon enough.

Jesus wept the grey ghosts must have earnt a small fortune in parking tickets looking at that lot geez

pppfffff. thats all right for you to say that because you don't surf those type of waves.

its madder than ever imo and the surf internet media are to blame .

ps I though more of mf but its looking like he's just like the rest of most of the pros these days

Mate I'll see you out on Saturday on your SB,up early if the guy from Noosa can do it surely yo can

On MF ha yep full blown like the rest.

I'm still out. will race the 22 towers tho. using antiseptic jell now so hopeful in the water soon


I'm not going to surf 8 ft but I'm not ready for the retirement village you are so keen to have everyone following you too.


just because one wants to surf a shortboard doesn't mean one has too surf hardcore waves. I'm keen but not stupid and a cant put my self in heavy situations after my little turn 2 years ago

but even sdr said if he was my fitness and weight he would be surfing a short heaps

for one who is so hooked on watching short board surfing you have funny attitude towards it some times.

learn to let be, let people surf what they want too surf.



amen

Yep that is the complete opposite of my idea of good waves. No way in the world would you catch me out there.

This is as close I got to the water today. Street food in Bangkok that was super hot and had my eyes watering ! Not bad for a dollar though

Some action from yesterday
