I heart WOTD
Awesome shot today.
Super stylish turn.
Isn't it? It's a great example of unweighting a turn to control the drift. All his weight's on the front foot now with the cocked back leg just steering the tail through the turn.
..all while air-guitaring Jimi's Watchtower solo.
The world is completely stuffed with rampant warmongers tearing the place apart while people can't find enough money to put a roof over their heads even with a full time job. It can get you down, even if you've got the good fortune to paddle out for a wave every now and then.
But thankfully we can log on and check the front page of swellnet and pretty often that daily wave, with its sometimes-fun-sometimes-thoughtful caption will lift you up a little bit. Today's one of those days.
Thanks all.

It's a ripper, great colours. Steve A's shot from yesterday was equally captivating.
Yes, that 1st shot was a cracker, but to @stu’s comment on steve’s story and photos yesterday, that shot was taken definitely in the morning, not only because of the colours but also I’m pretty sure that’s a well known bluff in the background!
Love todays WOTD. Hahahaha, can relate.
How many of us have been there in that situation? :) lol.
Totally, what could have been.

And probably just a little bit of "what's about to come" in the back of his mind.
Definitely been in that situation many times.... and in front of the crowd!
"Hey guys, I made the wotd on swellnet"
Me , trying to bodysurf my way out . 
Today’s my signature move these days …
That sinking feeling, replayed over in your mind for years....and cruelly posted on Swellnets homey! haha. Classic stuff.

Yes.....when it all falls apart, the quick transition to bodysurf to try to salvage something is always the best option!! Nice size Supa!

..reckon inside Kev's head he thinks he's killing it and throwing a huge tail off the lip?
Kev’s neck is probably near whiplash in the next millisecond.
I think there was a thread at one point not long ago about waves that got away, the one wave that you play over and over in your head. I reckon poor Kev has a story for this one!
Kev needs to work on his technique. He'll never catch lobsters that way.

Yep gotta go the double arm grab @TS.
Geez i hope poor Kev gets a free Swellnet Pro subscription for a year after this.
btw, its extra hilarious if you zoom in on poor ol Kevs face.
And don't worry Kev. Been there, in much more embarrassing circumstances!! Ya never never know if ya never never go ;-)
The wave of the day does it for me big time. Nice work Steen Barnes , Shaun Anderson and Swellnet.
In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.
