POV really puts into perspective how busy that lineup is, must be the most crowded wave in the world.

Half of the crowd are brazzos whilsting everyone off the waves

Great to see the POV of scanning the lineup to see what wave is doing what, and who’s going when. Navigation skill level 666k. Insane

Absolutely packed! Awesome sesh still no doubt 🤙🏼

Proud to be in there, crazy waves yesterday❤️

Great POV, sick content, good stuff man

Loved it. Different.

Pumping snapper no crowd must be such an amazing experience, must be worth the comp entry fee alone - even just for 1 heat!

No, just everyone within a 2 hour drive of Gold Coast.

Thanks, really enjoyed watching that. Only surfed Dbah and Greenmount when I was there and it wasn't too busy. I'm from South Australia so not used to surfing with that many people in the water. Love the Gold Coast so can understand why everyone wants to live there and surf there.

Plenty of smaller days to get out there and get a feel for it, I learnt to surf down the line around Greenmount when I was younger and slowly moved up.

You have become a master at riding this wave 🎉, although the struggle through this crowd looks f*cking chaotic😅

I surfed there when wsl was there and I had to pump all the way to rainbow bay and the amount of people that I had to pass was insane I reckon at least 100

being a natural footer snapper is one of ,my ultimate destinations but its absolute carnage 🤣🤣🤣 great POV thanks t for sharing ps your a great surfer

Far out, so crowded... Amazing surfing tho! Just starting to improve myself :)

God I’ve been surfing for just over 2 years, I feel like I started in an era where every accessible spot is always blown out, for beginner/intermediates is so hard to get consistent waves with all these people surfing. I can’t even imagine how amazing it must have been 20 years ago sigh

I’ve been surfing for 30 years, it’s always been crowded. That’s how surfing is, no one is going to just let you have the best waves, especially only 2 years in. When I was a grom, the older guys would only give us the scraps. Give it about 10 more years.

That crowd is fucking nuts!!! Idk if I ever wanna surf in Australia now 😂 Mahalo from Hawai’i! 🤙🏽

How on earth you did you not clean someone up?? Impressive!

Back in the 70’s half dozen out all along the east hidden surf spot gems just over the next hill when I see this surfing has become another stressed out activity that you have to do to make and keep friends I suppose

I’ll stick to my south coast NSW UNCROWDED spots thank you. I turn up to my local breaks and there is no more than 5 cars in the parking area. Bugger QLD Not worth a trip these days! Even when I surfed Noosa in the early 70’s it was crowded. Give me solitude empty breaks any and every day. Big ego trip up there for some 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🥴🥴👎🏾

Serious question: do you kinda just paddle around or back out after a wave and just wait for someone to fall?

Way to snake through people! Respect! Amazing wave though!

Hey mate, do you use a head strap or mouthpiece for the gopro? 🙏

@sheldonsimkus

I use the mouthpiece mate!

Haha how many people’s ankles did you run over!?

Fuck that’s hectic bro😂🤙🏽

It just baffles me how so many people sit way down the peak in the way, and shoulder hop people with priority on the wave from the rock.

That’s too much crowd mate, I don’t know how you deal with it 😂

Bondi beach 1978. Crowds even back in those days agro alfha males

Dream

I wouldn’t even surf with a crowd like that

good etiquette bto

By far, the most frustrating place I've surfed, and it's not even close.

Man you cut around 30 leashes on the second wave.

Free haircuts!

kookville over there - can't surf in a line up of kooks sitting in the sections... in J Bay those guys wouldn't make it

Why does everyone just stay in the way like it's normal?

That's ridiculous

People saying it’s crowded and that’s not even crowded for snapper h

ha just dodging people the whole way

Looks fackin deadly with those crowds. No thanks

I really don't like jumping off the rocks....

Fin massage

Yea thanks for helping me confirm my decision to never go surf this wave

It's all fun...until someone gets hurt.
