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.

Thanks to all concerned.
The wave itself almost looks like an oil painting.

That's the best pic of Bells i've ever seen i reckon. And maybe an old Steve Ryan lineup shot, but that's a cracking shot.
Next time anyone whinges about Bells being a fat wave, just show em this.
Epic shot Steve Arklay.

Another really good shot today, vicco’s are getting spoilt but after the last 3 years its long overdue. This latest swell might tempt a few thousand brazzos to migrate from the Gold Coast to the surf coast, spread some of the love around.

I wouldn’t say it was busy. Bit of a pack at times but never crazy. I’ll try to dig up a line up shots of the late arvo crowd. There were more people in the carpark

Plus hard to see the wolfpack when solid overhead walls are obstructing them from view :)

Epic from Judy. Her photos are always incredible. I love Romy’s too and it ain’t a competition, Judy’s at times seem more natural and less touched up perhaps. But both are exceptional at capturing the SC glory.

And in terms of crowds, still saw plenty of drop in’s when I was in the water, but for the most part they were quickly followed up by the surfer pulling off. Reckon it’s more just a case of a few having a crack at the paddle in as it’s not always guaranteed at that size those on the inside would make the take-off.

Amazing contrast to the surreally calm and composed Kipp WOTD pic.. it's why it's the world's ugliest wave that we love to be intrigued by. It'll be pumping for the next 1000 years, I wonder if there'll come a time when it has no crew wanting to take it on, and people sit on the clifftops and tell stories of bygone hellmen.. nice that Tim shares his footage for others' films:


Definitely looking forward to Tim's next edit.

Sorry missed this comment, yes it is Mishos or Churches, more a basic camp than resort though.
