well some days that ill never forget are:

-Mitchells Wedge
-2 arvo's at pumping northpoint with hardy, only me filming.
-South beach with a left looking pretty much like pipe.
-3 foot blackrock dawn till dusk
-Depot 10-15 foot (mainly surfers out)
-Cyclops 10-15 foot and low tide
-Enormous onshore rons with hardy

the exciting this is that im only young and will hopefully see so much more.
bodyboarding is awesome haha.

Mine for what they are worth

Black Rock - Had the place (albeit at 1-2 ft) to myself for three hours. me and my brother had it a 4ft to ourselves the next day...if only for 45 mins.
Nuggen - Did a road trip from Melbourne when I was living there about 2 years ago and stumbled across the wave by accident...What I found blew me away
Booji - Had heaps of quality surfs there....enjoyed a bit of a purple patch there about 5/6 years ago but have had good surfs since
Supers - For the fact that I've surfed it so many timesand more often than not come away with a smile on my face afterwards
Scar reef - Proved to be a masterstroke bailing on Desert Point and cruising on to Sumbawa this year...we had it at 4-6 pretty much to ourselves while 80 people battled it out at Brasil, I mean Desert Point
Mitchells...For the fact that i've surfed it 6 years agoand it hasn't really broken since :cry:
Tombstones - Gland with half the crowds
T.O.S- thats what I did after I saw those waves
South Beach - haven't seen clearer water...
Canggu - Fun rampy peak and cool Warungs on the beach
Mentawais- surfing it next year so it may as well be on the list
Mystics - haven't surfed it good but its a nice place
Redsands

haha nice find bro :)

my top twenty is this
outer Bombie (soo scary when its big haha)
Inner Bombie (barely breaks :( )
Dbah & Straddie (best beachie's in the world ramps etc.)
Nuggen (haven't surfed, but I really want to!)
Blackrock ( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)
Sandals (nobody surfs there possibly the best reef break in QLD)
Supers (looks crazy and a awesome wave in both points of view)
Currumbin Backwash (rep you hood, when this works it's the best, Can't compare it to anything!)
Fingal (both a really fun wedgy wave, always has something different to throw at you love it!)
Needles (Its a fun long rock break, only really skitz when it's big)
Luna Park (Just looks soo crazy and soo perfect, maybe a 10 min sesh out there? haha)
Cyclops (Maybe think about going just one wave)
North Point (the best pointbreak in the world?, Can't wait to surf it!)
Illuka/Illuka Buff (both in their right mind are awesome waves, Bluff for a crazy left, Illuka for a almost perfect wedge!)
Razors/Lovers (when razors is to big and closing out, you've always got lovers to have a crack at!)
Mexico (looks like a perfect beachie, wish to surf it one day!)
Old Womens Island (2km paddle out, if you can't do the paddle well don't expect to get a wave)
Google Earth

1. north point
2. supertubes (down south wa)
3. G-land, 4-6ft speedies oh my god

5. chicama, awe inspiring
6. scar reef, low tide 6ft+ oh man
7. padang, again low tide 6ft+, dreams are made of this place
8. macaronis - even more perfect in real life than the footage - equally heavy on low tide as the 2 above
9. pipeline - even with crowds a special place
10. salsa brava - heavy right and super cool town with sooo cheap greenery
11. super suck - perfect
12. rancids/floppos - high performance wave with a bulshit bowl section
13. keramas same as above
14. kirra (when it works) - coz 12 second barrels dont get much better

16.teahupoo - it just looks sooo perfect
17.galapogos - magical waves and set ups but got skunked big time - the animal life is something you will never forget

never knew slaters was also called monuments, the monnies im reffering to is the one with the side wedge in the takeoff, and the giant pinnacle of rock sticking up inside the take off.
