Why would you even bother?
Don't even know why you would even post this.

Cull the kooks.

Absolute circus
Rabbits68Monday, 16 Mar 2015 at 4:19pm
Wow. Crazy crowds but that was pretty nice all the same...
mk1Monday, 16 Mar 2015 at 4:28pm
The 1-2 foot with fat sections bit?
Rabbits68Monday, 16 Mar 2015 at 4:33pm
MK1 why do people like you actually bother to watch these clips that feature surf that you know your not going to like? Surely you've got better things to do with your time, at least I hope you have :-)
mk1Monday, 16 Mar 2015 at 4:39pm
Unfortunately:
- I didn't know I wasn't into it until after I had watched it.
- Right now, I really don't have anything better to do with my time, its either this or DIRD images on the internets.
Rabbits68Monday, 16 Mar 2015 at 4:46pm
Put it this way 1. Do you ever ride longboards? 2. Do you ever ride short boards in those type of waves (Pass, Noosa, etc)? If not then I hate to break it to you but your probably never going to like the clips featuring those types of waves by the sounds of it. That said, whinging is free & legal :-)
mk1Monday, 16 Mar 2015 at 4:57pm
Well, I do occasionally ride longboards, and sometimes even at the videoed spot. But I make sure i never enjoy it ;(
Rabbits68Monday, 16 Mar 2015 at 5:03pm
Fair enough :-)
surfstarvedMonday, 16 Mar 2015 at 4:28pm
Fucking hell, I'm with doggy72, why would you?
I used to think it was crowded back in the late 80s when I started surfing, but that's ridiculous!
braudulioMonday, 16 Mar 2015 at 4:30pm
Title says "from where you'd rather be" mmm ... don't think so.
roubydoubyMonday, 16 Mar 2015 at 5:03pm
From where you'd rather be - yeah, behind a computer screen.
Beautiful filming though!

Actually think I would rather be behind a computer screen than out there, or at another spot nearby.
Yeah nice footage, must've been a bitch to get all those consent forms signed though.
roubydoubyMonday, 16 Mar 2015 at 6:14pm
probably just did a letter drop while he was filming.

....what a shitfight !!

Even fat waves like Middleton to Goolwa are getting crowded these days. On the weekend just gone was a nice swell running and couldnt get a carpark at 8am. Been like this all year. Counted between 12 and 15 SUP's on just one bank. Must have been a couple of hundred out overall. Not sure where this explosion has come from - seems like the crowds are doubling every year. Guess surfing is being promoted as a healty lifestyle and a legit career choice these days rather than being only for long haired, drug fuelled vagrants like it was in my day. Way more chicks and groms in the lineup. Way more kooks too with SUP's and longboards making it easy for the less skilled to get more waves.
soggydogTuesday, 17 Mar 2015 at 12:14am
Totally agree, long boards and SUP's increase ones abilty to catch waves even if they have less than the required skill or etiquette to surf them. It also doesn't help when you have fuck wits like Blowin and Uncle-Leroy who want to prove how rad they are and expose other areas to the masses. Thanks to those two fuckers from the surfers of WA's south coast.
surfstarvedWednesday, 18 Mar 2015 at 3:11pm
The SUPs at Middleton are a fucking joke these days! They take at least 7 waves out of every 10. Makes me want to train up a tame GWS and set him loose with orders to eat on sight.
goofyfootMonday, 16 Mar 2015 at 5:50pm
Cool angles from the drone. What the fuck is going on with the crowd though! Not sure how you could see all those people out and think, oh yeah I might as well join them...
That looked horrendous
mothartMonday, 16 Mar 2015 at 6:23pm
Maybe if they started trying for 5 on a wave instead of that lazy 3 I saw a few times, it might work better & could even invite more people out to enjoy the fun.
EminzedMonday, 16 Mar 2015 at 7:37pm
I was linked from the Torquay page where I enjoyed 2 foot chop in cold water for two and a half hours this am with nobody else around. Is that better than crowded Byron?
zenagainMonday, 16 Mar 2015 at 7:41pm
Yep! Bet you caught more waves than most of the people out there in this vid did too.
kerry1Monday, 16 Mar 2015 at 8:12pm
Watched it for 10 seconds then hung up. You wouldn't even dream of going out in that rubbish. Poor sods nothing better to do.
willywontyMonday, 16 Mar 2015 at 9:38pm
would i want to surf that?
PASS!!!!
Newie74Monday, 16 Mar 2015 at 10:34pm
I could not think of anything worse! That is my idea of hell. What a circus!
rh-taxiTuesday, 17 Mar 2015 at 5:16am
Heavy sigh for days gone by...hang on it was kinda like that in the mid eighties too, minus
all the backpackers chasing the dream.
GussyboyTuesday, 17 Mar 2015 at 8:56am
We need more sharks
chookTuesday, 17 Mar 2015 at 9:21am
that cheered me up. it makes my little part of the world look like an undiscovered surfing paradise.
AlienSurfTuesday, 17 Mar 2015 at 12:16pm
How interesting are Mr Hynds lines sitting down.
Ride anything and everything for fun.
Complaining about crowds as a surfer is like complaining about traffic when your sitting in your car in it.
"There is no such thing as a bad wave. Just bad choice of equipment and bad attitudes"
wallyTuesday, 17 Mar 2015 at 6:08pm
I agree with you, but I reckon that is Dave 'Rasta' Rastovich. The film maker mentions him in his notes for the video.
Edit: somebody who knows more than me reckons it is actually Derek Hynd.
geoffreyTuesday, 17 Mar 2015 at 6:50pm
agree. drive in sydney, get caught in traffic. surf at snapper/noosa/byron/sydney and get crowds.
longboarder420Wednesday, 18 Mar 2015 at 1:17pm
AMEN TO YOU !!!!! you are the best !! spread the word !! we surf for fun not to intimidate those who are weaker than us
!!! ayayayayayayayayayayaa
udoTuesday, 17 Mar 2015 at 6:45pm
Pic on realsurf of the yellow board Hynd was riding.
oldmanThursday, 19 Mar 2015 at 3:46pm
Would rather walk 5km on hot sand to surf 2 foot beachie close outs than fight that crowd.
Maddog is right about SA. Need to travel a little bit or surf during the week and miss the crowds (if u can).
StupeThursday, 19 Mar 2015 at 4:09pm
Total piddle. Total piddle with a bevy of kooks on display. Like fck why run videos of piss poor conditions with a pack of kooks paddling over the top of each other? Just show us the morons dropping in on each other. There are zillions of awesome vids on youtube, but you run this? please.

Beautiful area, schmozzle of a line-up.
Speechless .....
Big yellow board...D Hynd finless fun ?
Was wondering the same. Looks like him.
What lovely sharing.
More drop ins than Snapper or at least as many!!
Why would you even bother?
