Even though the Aussie guys treated me poorly, I'll still give you the sub & like. Anyway, that was a long ways back in the mid 90's. I had hosted some visiting girls. They were in the youth hostel in Ocean Beach, San Diego, CA so I offered to let them stay at my house instead. Friendships formed & they returned the favor for my first trip to Australia. I took the girls to secluded spots where the only thing you might see is a seal or two, no surfers other than us. That was the beauty of OB/SD. You had the pier which ALWAYS had surf, & if you were willing to shoot the pier you had priority on that wave. Or, you could go south towards Sunset Cliffs and surf any number of spots at low tide. Some were only available by boat or a super, super long paddle. I'm grateful to Aaron & TJ who took us on numerable sessions with their boats. I learned to surf in Ocean CIty, MD (east coast USA beach break, close out shorepound mostly), so I've had my share of facial stitches, but I also learned etiquette.

Sadly, from what I am seeing it has only changed for the worse. And Austrailia has sooooo many spots. Bigger crowds & the hope to go viral on You Tube has raised the aggro meter on what was a spiritual experience for me. I's rather be at a smaller, mushier spot with 2-3 friends than fight those crowds. Sure, I like to slash about some & reduce stress, but I prefer working on my lines so when the big waves hit, I can get deeper for longer than most. I guess that's why Kipp, Russell, Somma, & the many others charge @ Shipsterns Bluff, Cyclops, the Box, and Cape Fear. I'd like to see those wave snakes try that nonsense out there. "Nasty wipeout, didja see him pop up ??" "Nope, can't seem to find him. You want to have a go ?? 😂

Nice vid, surfing, & editing. Music choice was interesting too. Cheers, bro.
😎👍🏄‍♂

Veri nice

Pro surfers get access to the best surf in the world ….would it be so bad if they allowed some good bits for us mere mortals?

It's filled with fkin raging dickheads now. The 80s 90s hollywood portrayed dreadlocks with weed smokin peaceful vibe is gone. All dota and LoL players came to join the surf community, i myself included but im not good enough to rage and surf 😛

It seems that Australians surfers don't care about respect…

brazillians and australians ruined the sport.

1,000,000,000 guys out 4 waves a set…..Invent a new rule for rotation so every one gets some waves and problem solved.

Gold Coast surfers must enjoy surfing with crowds of people cause I have been there when the superbank is crowded and almost nobody surfing D'Bah just around the corner, other point breaks a bit further down the coast nowhere near as crowded keep it up GC surfers.

Should be for regular footers only

so much about,… rage against nazis

way too many aggressive and entitled morons in the water these days surfing used to be fun

The idiot in the green trunks must have an accident

ol boy in the yellow was an international villain

Wow. 1st world problems. They live on the coast, it's warm, they can surf, they have time and this is how they behave.

Punk in the spring suit needs false cracks ASAP

Yellow shorts got a problem

Sorry. There’s no difference between male and female.. Everyone is equal. Let’s have males compete with women to show the fact

Dude in the yellow shorts was getting all the waves that he wanted.

Love it when those guys come in from behind the groyne at warp speed and surprise drop ins on the outside corner

I spent years surfing with so many creeps. So obnoxious and selfish. Like wild dogs. The non surfing world has always viewed the surfing community as these chill laid back loving people. 😂. It’s the ugliest sport out there. Just so many aggressive narcissists that wouldn’t be able to play on any form of team. Every man for himself. Nothing like what people think.

Love to see the dropper ins get snaked.

And it’s only gonna worse and that’s everywhere! 🤯

Surfing is supposed to be peaceful fun rippin with everyone out there. It saddens me to see such a awesome break firing with some idiots who spoil it for others and gets worse resulting from it.

Stay out of my water and stay off of my waves. OR ELSE.
