Three days of great waves, from Friday to Sunday, saw the Gold Coast points pumping and crowds reminiscent of mid-summer. When the Snapper line-up is like this - full of top level pros, ex-pros and wannabe-pros, all vying for their share of the action - you've gotta ask yourself where you fit into the scheme.

It's jungle rules at the top of the point and if you're not swinging from the vines then you're wallowing in the swamp. Still, when you're perched on the rocks the whole scene makes for great viewing, as proven here by Ryan Williams.//STUART NETTLE
