Well, apparently it's been pumping up at Snapper for the last five days. Yesterday I spoke to a mate to find out exactly how good it's been. His answer? "You really had to see it to believe how good it was."

OK...

In situations like this words don't come close to describing the waves. Even photos usually fall short, though with these shots Jon Wright has gone pretty damn close to recreating the experience. Swimming close to the action and under full sunshine he provides the next best thing to being there (apologies to Tracks).
