Certain breaks along Australia's southern coast pumped on the backside of last week's wild weather. One such wave was Steve Townsend's local and he captured it doing its thing.

Finding Macaronis: Photos from the first surf trip to the Mentawais

"We called it P'Land. The actual name of the point is Pasangan, and there's G'Land, so we called it P'Land. I reckon it's better than Macaronis though. Macaronis is so American." Tony Fitzpatrick, who along with Chris Goodnow and Scott Wakefield, discovered Macaronis in 1980. See the photos from that trip.

It'd be fifteen years before the surfing world twigged to what they found.
