Rock, scissors, reef

So who's to surf and who's to shoot? Rock beats scissors and Jughead scores a swim across the reef.

Straight forward

Critical barrel riding can be a straightforward affair. Literally. No dramatic turns or wild body contortions to confuse the matter just stillness and subtlety. Get it right and it's Zen. 'When the entire body is the eye, while seeing you do not see. When the entire body is the mind, when thinking you do not think.'

Kerry Down, not turning but seeing, thinking and feeling his way through a series of straightforward NSW barrels. Simple, yeah?

Baton Change

Ain't no grommet pole near this wave. When it comes to time for the youngsters to step up and claim their place in the line-up it's a simple matter of hucking themselves over the ledge and into a few thick ones.

Yes, a simple matter...

Riley Laing: Four feet high and rising

The old adage about kids growing up wanting to be firemen has been turned on its head. At least on the NSW Central Coast.

These shots are taken by Jughead Allport, Central Coast firemen and the first fella in line when his local reefs are firing. Who is his hero? Who does he look up to?

Pleasure and Pain

The surfer getting slotted in the first sequence here is Central Coast fella, Peter Hayes. The surfer getting pumped in the second sequence is the same bloke. That laughter you're hearing is Jughead Allport's, the fella behind the lens who is usually the one going over the falls at this spot. It's good to see someone else bring the pain.
