Now Baz, I keep telling you to stop posing those pictures of me. Really! Don't want to make the other surfers here feel bad with all my skiiiiiiiillllllzzzzzz. ;) although I have to admit that picture rocks. My orange bikini IS my lucky one. ;)

Sorry Tweez....I'll try to post a few other lesser known gremmies so we won't make anyone feel so insecure! :D

Here's the "The Wounded Gull" from Newcastle, OZ:

I'll say Burleigh Heads or somewhere within 30kms up or down the coast, and MR himself.

Mph- I need to know How does that wave peel away from the beach. That is some unusual activity. Not saying it doesn't happen but I haven't seen it; is there some unique local geography? Looks amazing anyway :D

Matt - I'll let "Matt" explain but here's a pic of Collaroy taken from the opposite view and you can see how the beach bends into the point where the photo was taken. Indeed very beautiful country.

Matt, the whole beach forms something like a large bay, the picture is taken from the beach in roughly the middle of the pic below.

Classic footage as usual Bazza, brings to mind a Bill Barnfield winger stinger single fin I had then. And yes it did have a Lightening bolt on it:-)

Cheers Richard

Thanks Richard.....a lot of heritage from the islands.....the lightning bolt enigma being a huge part of it. Think about how many bolts wound up on boards all over the world over the years. Probably the most iconic icon ever!

Speaking of iconic.....set to 720p and expand to full screen :)
