Yeah the closest thing ( I presume ) I've had to Kirra proper is here in Victoria !!! But only twice , and bigger so probably more comparable to Barra . Good luck finding it , and even luckier than multiple lottery wins getting it on

I think I have this wave is in my list, only surfed it once but it was epic.

My ears are pricked!! Any more clues guys hahah

I'm pretty sure I know where your on about southy, youngns will never find it

You wouldn't like it goofy, its a right

ID , did you surf it or not . If you did how come its on your list ... Does that mean coz you only surfed it once , but you'll give up your second born to go back there and score !!!!! ?
PS you edited your post ?!? ( I think ) , if it's the same spot we are talking then I'm pretty sure you would of be going back there , like a hungry white who regularly revisits a spot he lucked into food years prior . I've wasted more fuel checking it to only get skunked, than the planes to PPass . It is sand on reef , but it's not what u originally said but close .
Sheepy , I wasn't taking the piss , & I respect guys who are >6ft and can still backhand tube ride good !
FYI your description by default almost describes the wave location that ID and I want purfect , like Kirra though not quite a reef break .
ID , I'm surprised you haven't surfed Pambula on , talk about tough waves on ya backhand .

F. T.?

Be around 40 minutes drive for indo

Shaunio ,
Locals use the F word , not so sure on the T .
I and one or two others call it something else . Of everyone ( small group , secret handshake whispers ) that have been there and know it I reckon there has only been a Half Dozen EPIC days in 20 years going by Aural accounts . Maybe twice that in Good days . And a hundred or so half arsed days . All I know is that the twice I had it Good to Epic , I was alone . :-))) best we keep it that way ;-)
Goofy don't bother , there'll be waves local when this is on . Or let go of your comfort zone and explore.
You'll miss recounting stories of "Legends " out in groups at wherever . But when you can't wipe the smile off ya face whilst you tell surfing acquaintances that " you went shopping in the city " and missed local
" legends " day . All the time knowing you scored what they can't fathom with no or less than 5 as a crowd !
Worst case scenario , you stay for awhile and enjoy clean strong water . :-)

aha ..... Different spot Shaun ....
My first thought was the same as yours for ID's spot .
Wrong waterway .

Yes, if that's the one it's in plain view but you have to know what your looking for

Yep . Not easily accessible . Though .
And even though you know where to look , doesn't mean that it's predictable , seasonal or even regular .... It should just be called Surf Tease .
Is that what the T stands for .... You've really stumped me on that ?
Is this the same spot old man Hughes was heard to have danced naked with stoke prior to one session ?! Thank fuck I wasn't there for that ....

Yeah i edited my post on it as think i might be giving to much away.

Yes surfed it once, but only got a few before it switched off :(

Ive actually pretty much given up even checking it these days.

Yeah only surfed Merimbula bar, but had that epic.

It's all good .
Who would of thought that there's two .
Beauty's in the eye if the beholder .
Funny thing it's probably three . As there are two rare right gems close to each other where I speak of , the second of which is probably similar to your spot .
There's one other , but my lips are sealed and my legs shaky .

I've just surfed the one over towards morris's twice, no reef involved big long sand spit, needs a big rain. I think it gets towed a bit, normally known for it's left and not far from where a certain sort of bird nests.

G-land
Desert Point
Nias
Scar Reef
Lances Left (or right)

Can't really go past indo. Prefer lefts even though natural footer.

-A right i found on google earth, but access near impossible, especially wet season when the winds are good.
-Treasure island and a nearby left cobras (anyone surfed it? southey?)
-a Few spots on the islands off aceh
-Skeleton bay
-red bluff and gnaraloo, didnt make it this year, even though i had the chance got sick instead.. hopefully next year.
-Peru pointbreaks like cabo blanco etc

Too many others to name..

Will try to always go back to g-land though. Not many places top its consistency,other good things about the place and speedies is near equal to supersuck for quality imo. but just as fickle maybe a little better consistency. (i mean days a month they work sort of thing..
Still addicted to waves ive already been to hehe.

Sticking to the topic (ie. waves you've NEVER surfed)...

1. Reverse-G (looks incredible on Google Maps)

2. Quarantine, maybe one day I'll try paddling with the tide, or get a kayak, or something, but probably will find that it is packed with 50 frothers and not get a wave!

3. Merimbula Bar, breaking properly. I surfed it micro once (and so I don't classify that as really having surfed it!), and was impressed with its potential. Having holidayed with the family at Pambula Beach at Xmas for years, this was always somewhere I wanted to go to but there was never enough swell - I liked the Rivermouth tho, but the bar seems to have moved since then, >30 years ago.

4. Outside Corner Ulu. Just not too big. Although I suspect that G-Land at the same size might be better, based on what I've seen. It's be good to cross this one off my bucket-list tho.

5. Jeffreys Bay. I've always thought of it as a Winki-on-steroids, and Winki is one of my regulars.

None of these last 4 are mysto secret spots, so don't get antsy. They're just places that I've seen photos of over the last 30 years, and so the desire to surf them is deeply ingrained.

Fave wave tho is still G-Land, and with limited time and money, will probably end up just going back there to get my fix rather than doing the dream of exploring elsewhere. But if I suddenly got rich and had lots of time & money, then...

Well, it's the Lofoten Islands (Norway). Dunno the specific name of the main wave there but it looks like an icy version of Burleigh. But I'd love to check out the whole area to be honest.

The bay thats been covered in a few mags and shot heaps by chris burkhard is called unstad..

Top 5
Ireland - All the waves featured in fergal smiths webisodes
Mexico - the point from The Search comp a few years back
Dakar - few right hand reefs that look super fun and un-crowded
Coxos
Cloudbreak

Groundswell , I'm embarrassed to confess that I haven't set foot on Sumatra, and a little proud I haven't done " the obligatory mentawai boat trip " , hence I wan't a piece of green bush . Although as I age it might end up the other way around . There's something about that peak at green bush that just screams to me ,
" back door it " , looks like a bigger longer version of a wave here in Aust that I love . No Kandui gets my attention too . Hopefully in the next few years when I do a boys trip I'll get those two on . So no treasure for this little black duck .
Apologies Crip for taking the topic askew , you ever get your own Vic Kirra ?
As for Merimbula , older guys told me that it used to start out near the Museum wharf , and now it's only half to two thirds as long .
Funny though, the photos " somewhere in Tathra ?" That I've seen of M Bar macking and taking out a large game fishing boat around the 80's it didn't seem to be that much further out if at all .

Proud to have not done a boat trip Southey?! You should be ashamed with yourself for not having done one mate! 2 weeks floating around on a boat living in the one pair of boardies the whole time, catching fuck loads of fish and having sashimi every night, not having any phone reception so annoying clients can't hassle you, not to mention surfing some of the best waves in the world with your 7 or 8 of Ya mates.
Talk about living the dream!

Here is a five. As others have said, it changes.

- Big Teahupoo
- Big Jaws
I couldn't surf them, but I would really like to sit in the channel and watch.

- Malibu. For the history and a good and gentle point wave is a beautiful thing.
- Sunset Beach. For the test of all round 'course management' (in golfing terms).
- Macaronis. Just seems like an all manoeuvre, close to perfect wave.

In no particular order,

- South Sentinel
- Minicoy
- London Harbour
- Lynmouth
- Serenade

the reality is goofy , that its not 7or 8 of ya best mates in the Mentawai's . Its 50-60 blokes on multiple boats , and because of that fact you can't just steam up to any wave up there and think you'll be the only boat load .
I've done a few boat trips ..... ( just not there )
Lombok / Sumbawa .
Panaitan , now theres a boat trip ....
I'd give up 5 boat trips to the Mentawai's for 14 days at P-Pass ..... And I did .Travelled alone , made friends , Got 3 x >6ft swells , fished like a Pro , ate like a King , shared a special day or two with 7or 8 World Champs ... . I could type for an hour really .
Considering the amount of waves on peoples lists , Mentawai's barely rate a mention .

7 or 8 world champions ?! Fill us in Southy.

I have heard those stories about crowds that bad, but I've done two trips now and haven't seen anything like it. Just depends if you have a good skipper whose keen to get you pumping uncrowded waves. The first trip I did was in March and we had pumping ht's for 4 days between 4-8ft and the only other person we shared it with was one solo guy staying on the land camp. Scuzz wouldn't let us leave the joint because we were scoring that bad.. But if you went to maccas or ht's in July well yeah your gunna get 30 people there. But they are just two waves out of thousands.
Anyway we are getting off topic

Vic Kirra? Hmm, can't say that I have, or that I know anywhere in Vic like Kirra.
I remember seeing a photo on the inside cover of Surfing World of MBar breaking from the wharf to near the beach. Unbelievably long. And I saw a photo sequence in a shop in Narooma of that boat getting crunched going across the bar. Apparently it was borrowed from a mate (ex-mate)!
And now I've gone off-topic.

it was in a magazine blowin . I think they called it coming together .
Mick Fanning , Steph Gilmore , Taylor Jensen , Beau Young , Rob Naish , Ben Wilson , Dave Kalama , Rheo Stevens and Kelly and Andy were there the week before .... no biggy , but it was an amazing experience riding amongst so many people at the top of their game on so many different watercrafts on one particular day .
Was an experience that rates up there as the closest one can come to a " water world - circus - freakshow " , was a shame it smaller that day .

J-Bay
Chicama
Mexico - almost anywhere there
Wreck Bay
Skeleton Bay

Its a pity Rags left lifted out of the water anyone surf that pre quake?

From memory it was 2006 or 2007 quake (not the 2010 one that caused a Tsunami at Maccas etc)

Raised a lot of the reefs in the southern Mentawai area from Thunders/Rags area all the way to Lighthouse/The hole area, changing most waves a bit but not to crazy, i think Rags left was the worse affected in a negative way, still surfable but apparently nothing like what it was going from world class to more fickle and average, nearby wave Roxys/Malakopa/Cold water springs whatever you want to call it, went from being a very average wave to a very high quality wave on its day.

Does anyone remember that surfing vid by Gorilla grip, Gripping Stuff or maybe it was Gripping Stuff 2?

There was a section only a few waves, a right in the Phillipines was perfect, i always thought it was a rare super fickle wave called Mystics?…..But googling that name, nothing comes up….Maybe I'm mistaken at it was cloud nine, anyone remember the section in that vid?

You've reminded me of one ID and it would have to be on the list....

Pretty sure it was Cloud 9 with Sam Watts surfing ID.

The vid by Carpetman ...... what kind of wanker puts this shit out there for the world to see ? Actually it's the same type of wanker that put Cloud 9 out there for the world to see.

Yeah maybe it was, maybe my memories playing tricks on me, but i just remember its looking like an even better wave, i guess it was also 25 years ago, now so looked empty.

Indo it was called majestics in luzon i think,long right fickle right.

Thats it Majestic's not Mystics, the footage on Gripping stuff 2 , was much better than vid below, it was perfect after rain type glass with crystal type lips with no crowd, don't know about long, but this vid is definitely the same wave has that shape i remember (got to remember this is before Mentawai's Ht,s etc or P-Pass was exposed to the world, so only real tropical jungle rights you saw on vids back then was Nias)

Yeah thats it,maybe its longer on a different angle swell but ive only heard about it,been kept quiet last 10 years....check out wanna surf.

Majestics on Catanduanes Island.
Still there.
Right down Typhoon Alley.
No-where to run if a direct hit looms.
http://catanduanes.gov.ph/sp-declares-catanduanes-under-state-of-imminen...

Scored alot of insane waves in the Phillos in that area. It's wave rich.

Enough Filipino chatter, more, I dunno, Vicco?

Or islands off the mainland, wherever?

That was majestics, or puranun in the catenduanes
http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rj...

Ive alwasy wondered where that long semi tubular left was in the south oz section of gripping stuff 2.
It could be a spot starting with a C , but its pretty hard to find footage of south oz spots so its hard to campare.

oops sorry i posted to a non refreshed page since indos post.

That second video of majestics, the waves were great and there were quite a few crew out but no one caught a wave.

Got a very small swell window, I have heard.

But theres a 15ft swell hitting there Tuesday http://www.swellnet.com/reports/philippines/luzon/south/forecast

Yeah . 10 second interval should be EPIC .......
Not t mention the wind .
However Stu's fuck up should be smoking .
