Big Wednesday

18/05/11  We new the swell was on its way and as predicted it started getting massive on Tuesday.  We were also smashed by thunder and lightening storms and rain through the night.


Got it!

We woke up early on Wednesday morning to see the waves and could not believe what was going on.  It's so awesome to see (and hear) heavy waves this size.  And then to watch people dropping in!  Hardcore :)

Opted for a helmet today.  I guess that makes him sensible.

Scary paddle out.

Wave!

Count how many guys high...

Pull in!

Some guys were getting towed in to the big sets, others were being towed out to safety by the lifeguards.

(John was gonna go, but he had to wash his hair that day).
