Don't think there's a forum thread for random surf clips to share...so here goes.

A great, if somewhat obvious tip on good rail surfing...but sometimes it's the obvious we overlook. Used to cook so many bottom turns.
Claytons a great coach and he rips so understands the mechanics.
My bottom turn improved 100fold from his tips and went from something i used to second guess the outcome, to being indisputably my favourite part of the ride..especially on solid waves.

Wipeout clip from Mullaghmore.

While I clicked on this hoping for some Irish thuggery, it's less the brutality and more the sheer weirdness of Mullies that stands out.

Such an irregular wave, with what must be very deep water rising quickly to a series of ledges. Seems the wave has to be big enough for the take off ledge to meet the barrel section or the wave simply pinches and the surfers gets ignominiously rejected - as happens to Nathan Florence a few times.

Yet when it gets big enough for that a longer board is warranted and the barrel ledge throws all manner of bizarre curves up the face. Setting a rail becomes a tricky business.

It seems the wave just gets 'easier' and more predictable the bigger it gets.

Jai Glindeman, Kolohe Andino, Seth Moniz, there's been some outrageous sand-bottomed barrels ridden this week, and here's another one from Dylan Moffat:

Latest Cliffs of Hope video from the same place, possibly the same swell. It's a wave of phenomenal shape and it's getting tonnes of coverage. I expect Koa Rothman and JOB will be onto it next year.

For those familiar with Cliffs of Hope videos, the obligatory salvation talk begins about the 13 min mark.

Wouldn't want to trip on your leggie going down that track. Looks terrifying.

Nflos backdoor behind the foamball barrel at Aileens is impressive and all but just remember, groundswell said Jim Banks had a story about being spun 180deg on the foamball at 6-8' speedies and then spinning it back around and coming out the barrel :D.

So I'm still waiting for someone to do that on film.

Stunning, just beautiful.. Extended sermon in this one, didn't mind it though:
"The Bible says 'you look at the Cliffs of Moher, and it's the Visitor Centre, at the top of the Cliffs of Moher' ".
Quite poetic.

Good story in TSJ a year or so ago about tapping Sunset's potential. It may have been Bromley saying every now and again a big one stands up far outside and way deep, offering a shot at a backdoor set up into an XXL barrel.

Apparently no-one's ever got one but a few of them have designs on it.

The only catch is sitting in there and waiting.

Cheers. Will see if someone has that issue, and possibly start subscribing again. Ran out of shelf space, and was a little bit put off by the direction the mag was taking.

I see there was a Noa Deane article in 31.5. Any good?

Haven't read that one, however I agree with you RE directions the mag has taken in the past. I guess like any publication the quality ebbs and flows with both the staff and their access to good writers. I know a decade ago they starting losing themselves up the bum of SoCal surf culture to the expense of any other coastline. Thankfully the direction has since changed.
