Once the size died down the sheer perfection of the East Coast swell shone through. And nowhere was better than this place which was doing a fair impression of Kelly's wavepool in a mirror.

It's Red Bull's own highlight reel including a few new angles.

Lachlan Rombouts' North Avalon behemoth could well be the defining image from the recent East Coast swell.

Swellnet caught up with Lachlan between sessions to talk about that morning.

With clear sunny skies, T-shirt weather and no let up in the sets, this does feel like the endless winter.

A blatant drop in turns into call and reply tube riding, and double shakas all 'round.

The latest jaunt from Rip Curl is an unnamed righthander ten hours boat ride from who-knows-where that breaks mere feet off a sandy beach.

Two days of insanity captured from every angle. Y'all know Russ Bierke won the event but hows about some more gore..?

It wasn't all bommies and points during Monday's big swell. Those who found themselves a beach that ran at the right angle of incidence had lefts for days.
