There's a reason why Bells and Winki get the accolades - they picj up the most swell. With today a public holiday coinciding with the contest, any known spots were certain to be crowded. A favourite spot i've had to myself many times was doing a superbank imitation with 60 people out, so a bit of hunting was called for. The driving paid off eventually - I got some waves with relatively few in the water, and beat the afternoon wind change. A couple of lesser-known Vicco set-ups...

So while Parko was killing it in front of the paparazzi, I took note of one unknown laying down some respectable tracks.

Nice straight swell but limited options with an upcoming tide led to an onshore suit-up and-go surf. It's good what you find sometimes when you go out without looking! Some nice lefts as the wind backed off. The clifftop vantage point at this spot gives great view of the action below - here's TTT giving it some stick on one of my concave deck boards...

The spot at the end of the road again...a great reason to leave work early and surf by moonlight!

Happy old fart!
