The Southern Ocean has been flaring up for the last week or two with great Sessions going down at all the usual hot-spots. These photos however, taken by Jeff Schmucker, were shot at one of the harder to reach places. The effort is multiplied when you factor in that many of the fellas - Mikey Brennan, James Hick, Tyler Holmer-Cross - had to make the mission from Tasmania.

As you can see, their efforts were rewarded (except maybe for Sam Boon, the fella collecting the lip on the head). All photos by Jeff. //STUART NETTLE
