During Easter Cowaramup Bombora sprung to life under a clean 15-20 foot swell. The regular crew of chargers, including Antman and Zac Haynes got stuck in, as did big time blowins, Greg Long and Twiggy Baker. Ryan Hardy represented the prone brothers.

G'day Camel, do you reckon a few of those boards needed a bit more weight?

Not sure about the weight Rusty, looked just too windy offshore with those big chops running up the face.

Hi rusty yes most of the boards were heavy but not everyones . The wind was the major factor ruining those waves . Cow reef is just a dot in the ocean theres nothing near it no broken waves near it . Wind builds up chop because of an offshore wind making it unride able . They did surf it and broke new territory that day , Battling a wind chop .

I reckon they'd have to be fairly buoyant to account for the their large testicles.

You know a certain, big, raw-boned fella (won't mention his name, amasing surfer, God bless him) used to paddle this spot in the 70's on a Lilo wearing those cheap little floaties too.

Hilarious.

Great footage but looks a little tame for the quoted size.
