Old boy sure copped a few smokings. Where is everybody? Joint is deserted!

Most cold water big wave venues are empty at dawn.
Dave DrinkwaterWednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 4:13pm
Jeez that looks good.
lampyWednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 4:33pm
Looks like a great wave
Ape AnonymousWednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 4:40pm
Having a good dig on his own. can anyone explain why he's not taking off on the first section though? Board too small/too wide in the nose to get in with the wind??
The MIDdleman.Wednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 7:45pm
Consequences.
Lanky DeanWednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 4:41pm
Think that's the wave at the tip of algorta.
Plenty of waves futher in would have been working.
Wonder what mundaka was like ? Maybe funky winds?
ringmasterWednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 4:53pm
Mundaka would have been 6ft plus and pumping with around 100 out if it was anywhere between low to mid tide.
braudulioWednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 5:27pm
You're maybe thinking of Meñakoz. Roca Puta is further east.
Lanky DeanThursday, 28 Nov 2019 at 3:22pm
No, I have surfed men~akoz
Its right out from algorta.
Roca puta I have seen break, this wave seems different and I think you can see the other side of the harbour.

One of the waves I most want to surf. Natxo Gonzales is the backhand master there.
mickseqWednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 7:34pm
that guy was super stoked, see his big grin? paddling out all to himself
CraigWednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 7:38pm
Would be stoked to score this!! Paddle in/out looks tricky, through breakwater?
goofyfootWednesday, 27 Nov 2019 at 8:24pm
bloody beautiful;

At 1.24 the outside rail fin looks bigger than the inside?
Seems the opposite of normal for assym fin choice.

Gotta cut back with certainty to dodge the "Bitch Rock"

Looks like a fun wave for those who are into the bigger stuff. Would be a good entry level option for triple overhead surfing... something I might even have a crack at on the right day.
Island BayThursday, 28 Nov 2019 at 2:26pm
Haha!
It's not exactly entry level. Barrels hard when on, and is like making love in a quarry (fucking close to the rocks).
Rick SnowdenThursday, 28 Nov 2019 at 3:48pm
*claps hands. I'm stealing that one!
mr mickThursday, 28 Nov 2019 at 6:27pm
2:02 ...proper duck dive from best in the business.......just thought i'd mention.

Consequences. There’s a few boils on some of those waves.
SpuddupsFriday, 29 Nov 2019 at 6:41am
Good to see a big wave like that that peels for a decent distance. Nothing like taking off on a big slab of ocean and having a wall of doom stretch out in front of you for a couple of hundred metres like that.
Island BayFriday, 29 Nov 2019 at 7:06am
A few good beatings. Looks deceptively easy at first, but then is walls up, gurgles and wobbles and eats people up.
CraigFriday, 29 Nov 2019 at 7:23am
I remember we ran this video. God that's so heavy the section they're trying to shoot through! Vid above looks a bit more accessible..
tangoFriday, 29 Nov 2019 at 1:53pm
That's it, the drone footage plays tricks. Great angle for seeing him go over the handlebars in the barrel, but really, give me some footage from the rocks or the water and I'm right there with him. Drones.....there's a time and a place.
bones77Sunday, 1 Dec 2019 at 7:01am
I think the drone makes it look deceptively smaller than what it really is... reflecting on drone footage of Keramas that made 6-8 foot look manageable when in fact the beach footage showed the carnage as it was..
Great surfing fella.. gutsy solo effort
droddersMonday, 2 Dec 2019 at 12:24pm
I think that looks like heaven, all by yourself and a Webster DS!! Craig that earlier footage looks much larger, maybe not heaven any more!!
Island BayWednesday, 18 Dec 2019 at 7:36am
While we wait for Pipe, here's some more Roka Puta. Inigo Idigoras on a self-shaped 6'10 channel twinnie.
Further confirmation of the viability of big wave twins. The perception is often that board design has stagnated, and in the case of the shortboard Thruster maybe that's true, but those longer railed pinny twins are testament to ongoing breakthroughs.

Justified claim.

Yep, solid.
