haha - yer ralphy - now ya know why we were going off our nuts watching the webcast... brilliant stuff aye

[BoogieKnight]

fargin hell - that place is just mind boggling, great footage, you could watch that over and over. I was there a few years back and I can honestly say that the wave is absolutely frightening. I remember just sitting on the rocks trying to work up the courage to paddle out. My first session at the joint it took me the best part of two hours to finally grow some balls and get out there. Luckily there's a right hander not too far away that has a perfect barrel with an end bowl section that could make any average punter think they could fly. I'm curious as to why there hasn't been any footage or pics of the place with pros on it as when I was there the locals practically dragged me there as if to show it off.

ah Mr BoogieKnight,

good to hear from you - firstly on a local note there is a sweet little shot of North Bra break in the latest Frothers mag released on the weekend - in the East section. Small but super sweet frame in landscape to bo the peeling baz justice.

Yes, weird how you don't see much footage or pics commercially. If you head down to the "Events" section here there is an arica thread which a few of us went mental on during the webcast. anyways I have just put up a link to the preview for the Arica dvd, released sept 2nd with the dude's contact details.
Also in there is an interview with Chico Garritano after PLC gave him those stitches... it's on the IBA website. If u go through a few pages you will see some insane shots. there arent as many there as nearer the time, but still show its great form.

orrrrr - if you are greedy bugger - hehe - you can go to:

k... so I have seen the MADDEST wipeout pic today - it is in 8.3 bodyboarder mag.. is an unknown rider in a 10 shot sequence getting totally wiped at shippies - the dude is fully spinning full bodylength on a monster barrel. Have checked tim jones site - and it isnt there.. bugger! so worth paying the $5 for the mag just to see thisabsolute farking CLASSIC.. but way sick in the guts just looking at it....

sounds similiar to a pic of jose in a recent issue.

yer was in the jose and Winny feature at Shippies, but is quoted as:

"....this guy scored a dozen doughnuts. Shipsterns was hungry. This monster sucked him up and swallowed him whole. Unidentified rider in the belly of the beast."

i took a sick wipeout yesterday....
in my finally first fun qld surf all holidays, but yeh to the point

snaked a surfer he needed to be told that he can't drop in on other boogers and get away with it, but yeh i dropped in see this walling section coming up, thinking yes sweet barrel but anyways, i kinda tucked in then the lip has caught the edge of my board and its just gone from under me...ive got throw up over the top of the wave into a sandbank....

sore back today from it, but who cares supposedly looked like the sickest wipeout

[doclach]

This is a shot I love so much - I thought I had posted it up here, but doesnt look like it. I go to Colin M's site heaps to look at this one... jst one of those luscious moments where you know you are completely f*kd... completely... and cant do a thing about it - nor would ya if you were given a choice mebbe - cos moments like this are some of my fave memories... after the event of course..hehe
