The local. Sand bottom barrels so heavy as to rival Kirra.

Sounds like fun IB. The local left I assume? Could do with one of those around these parts.
And B6, a styptic pencil is used to stop bleeding when you cut yourself shaving. Not really recommended, as they use aluminium sulfate powder or similar. Stops bleeding but gets absorbed and aluminium absorption is sometimes associated with Alzheimer's Disease.

Haven’t paddled out today hopefully it’s a bit more organised this afternoon. A few guys have had a crack at both razors and shipwrecks with little success. Easy 8ft waves today, some looked bigger. IMG-1585

Where did you surf today? Surf Coast, clean 3-4ft, sunny, little slow.

Where did others surf yesterday? Well , whilst Winkipop and Bells had late twilight waves around 5ft prior to dark, others way down the coast behind Cape Otway enjoyed massive 10-12ft and the odd bigger ones. Tow ins also.
A usual crew of young chargers as well as a very experienced big wave surfer.
The swell blocking of Cape Otway is resounding.
I have the footage which was sent to me, but if I reveal it, I’m as good as dead. AW

Amazing how little coverage that zone gets AW considering how photogenic

Pittsy. Hi mate, hope ya well.

Spot on regarding coverage or lack there of. I think they like it that way.
Conditions were sublime in the footage, glassed right off after a light NE wind.

And, it truly is beautiful, the whole area. Water is much colder once you round the cape.
Just ask Basesix on the southern Limestone Coast, wholly points the blame at us for his nuts getting up around his neck. Good stuff. AW

Awesome pics as usual Supa.

After days if not weeks of rain around these parts (with 150mm last Thursday alone), it was so good to have the wind offshore and the swell a very user friendly3-5 foot from my favourite swell direction, the EastNorthEast. It was great to get out there amongst it with just a handful of us. Looking through todays pics I have some rippers, but really had to crop the crap out of them to mask the location, because I fully intend to be back there tomorrow :)
