I heart WOTD
Agreed TBB. I could mindsurf that thing for hours!! Great shot Shieldsy.
You've got the good mana TBB. You'll fit right back in where you left off legend.
Mad Hueys lads have been in a good paddock by the look of it, too many shoeys bruvvv!

Ha...was almost gonna caption it along those lines. 'Letting it all hang out', 'loosening his belt', 'bloated barrel', but thought better of it.
Leave it to the anonymous punters Stu to sling mud, they know who you are!
Haha, I don't think he would care too much. He's got a pretty thick skin.

Towed in?
Fat shaming the Mad Hueys?
Social media will be outraged.
Paging Taryn Brumfitt.
I was thinking that bloke is doing alright for a fella in his 40's/ 50's then saw who it was.
Regardless, that is a beautiful crystal cylinder.
beautiful, evocative colouring to a southerner.. love it.
A good wave, looking the goods
Dreamy!
time well spent
Lovely WOTD. Surf Coast looking stunning.
Judy Scanlon always nails the lineup shots. Today is no exception.
Mad Max looking totally engaged today. Charging!
Nice debut, Stu.
Clear morning, auto focus, and a surfer who has the wave on a string.
But thanks.
Noice!!
Nice pic Stu. It reminded me of a time years ago when a local photographer had taken some shots. I'd got a few good waves and thought I'd order a pic of me. I'd mistakenly thought that Ben Anderson was me. Photographer was adamant and correct. I was embarrassed. I later found saw my pic. Suffice to say I didn't order the shot.

Ha ha...reckon we'd all like to think we surfed like Ben, while photos and video tell us differently.
Was the photographer Clarrie?
Yes. RIP
Great shot Stu. Makes me want to go for a surf. Hope to see more from you and your part of the world in the future.
I was enjoying the pic, thinking about Nik Zanella's article, but the lower portion of the photo was hidden on my laptop and didn't even notice the smoking gun in the foreground - unreal!
Unbelievable shot Tobias. Thank you.
Can really relate to that shot. What a magic moment.
Totally Solitude.
Sunny Coast split peak.
Good days. Good memories.
Yep a magic little stretch where that was taken…spent a couple of years there living beachside. Definitely triggers some nice memories…but geezus it could be some time between drinks…
Yep no guessing where that is. Split many a peak there, usually with me going left, and Spot Hamilton going right. Good memories.
To be fair people who have surfed SC a lot have a fair idea of where that may be, but with no discernible landmarks to distinguish between any other beachie it’s still a guess - every spot has its day
Love the bloke walking up the beach with the snapped nose gaffa taped on!
Today's shot of Russ; is that board way over7ft?

Not sure. My guess would be either bang on seven or the low sevens.
Size aside, love how his front foot is almost entirely on the inside of the stringer. No turns, it's all about that inside rail.
Did he make it though?
Fair to say he made it as far as the wave would allow:
Where all these wotd’s from the one session?
*were sorry
Would expect more out at Bruce’s than that.
Old photo or COVID lockdown?

Hi LD, the photo was taken on Friday 19 May on the fourth day of a very good run of swell. It was early morning on a work day and no school holidays. Got busier mid morning on the low but not much.
Very nice.
today nails it.. not straddie perfect, but perfect for us open beach warriors. Mind surfing,
Cheers dawn, was pretty much as good a setup you could rock up to and with NCO. Some heavy left spitters in the mix!
What a great shot of a beautiful looking wave....!
Couple more from the same morning.
First shot of the morning, didn't know the settings, didn't know the flash was gonna go off, didn't even stop walking to take it.
Jez Smith seq from WOTD. No motor drive either, long barrel.
Two of Phil Byrne Junior hanging the inside
Very nice, Stu. Keep it up, aye!
Still a lot of Tonga dust colouring the sky.
Lovely shots Stu.
Is that the local?! Joisus!
Cracker shots and light! Did well in tough shooting conditions.
Great shots Stu. Do you get itchy feet watching that unfold? Any idea when you'll be back in the water?
Itchy, yes, but I'm not resentful or frustrated like I can sometimes be when I miss waves.
It's one thing to miss waves knowing you simply can't surf, but another when trivial little matters like work or kids are keeping you out of the water.
Another month at least till I surf. Unfortunately I had to cancel a G-Land trip in late June/July.
I've surfed with Jeremy a few times many moons a go. The guy can turn a board.
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.
