The Day The Superbank Snapped.

The last week of April, the Superbank came alive for almost 10 days straight. As the point filled up with more pro surfers preparing for the Gold Coast Pro, getting a wave to yourself was just not possible. Check out the action leading up to the day the Superbank Snapped

    That balding redheaded donkey seems to show up in every snapper video doing exactly the same thing... Dropping in straight with a monkey stance and bending over to touch his toes. I honestly think he's just a terrorist out there to try to injure people, he doesn't ever seem to have any intention (or chance) of actually making a single barrel, or a single section for that matter.

    I spent years surfing with so many creeps. So obnoxious and selfish. Like wild dogs. The non surfing world has always viewed the surfing community as these chill laid back loving people. 😂. It’s the ugliest sport out there. Just so many aggressive narcissists that wouldn’t be able to play on any form of team. Every man for himself. Nothing like what people think.

    Not sure where you've been surfing. Yes, there are always some obnoxious fuckers. They usually end up getting kicked out of the crew of locals & have to fend for themselves. But selfish, wild dog, narcissists ?? I blame that on the current generations. THEY ARE ALL LIKE THAT, SURFERS OR NOT !! I can't count the number of times me & my friends interrupted the greatest sessions to rescue some idiot who got washed off the cliffs to get a photograph. Any & all watermen (women these days) should know when someone in the ocean is in distress, you drop all to help them. I mean serious distress. I am certain my little crew of 7-8 guys weren't the only one's doing the same. All around the world, when somebody gets in trouble (near the shore) it's almost always a surfer first on the scene to help out. But I learned to surf in the 70's, way before drones and jetski's, so I guess people can just leave it to the lifeguards these days. There were never lifeguards where we used to surf, 90% of the time anyway. So, that was a long time ago. You're probably right about things today. IF YOU DON'T SURF, DON'T START !! I forgot to mention Da Hui. They were the forerunners saving looks & pros alike. mad respect for each and everyone of them. True watermen-women, with the aloha spirit. Mad love from Mobtown. My heart bleeds for what has and is happening to the native Hawaiian people. It is worse thanwhat we did to the Indians

    I surfed because I loved the ocean and as a positive byproduct it took aggression out of me because I surfed to feel peace as well. It's why I won't ever surf here and I actually quit forced too by injury but also had enough. The memories I have nothing can take away.

    Even though the Aussie guys treated me poorly, I'll still give you the sub & like. Anyway, that was a long ways back in the mid 90's. I had hosted some visiting girls. They were in the youth hostel in Ocean Beach, San Diego, CA so I offered to let them stay at my house instead. Friendships formed & they returned the favor for my first trip to Australia. I took the girls to secluded spots where the only thing you might see is a seal or two, no surfers other than us. That was the beauty of OB/SD. You had the pier which ALWAYS had surf, & if you were willing to shoot the pier you had priority on that wave. Or, you could go south towards Sunset Cliffs and surf any number of spots at low tide. Some were only available by boat or a super, super long paddle. I'm grateful to Aaron & TJ who took us on numerable sessions with their boats. I learned to surf in Ocean CIty, MD (east coast USA beach break, close out shorepound mostly), so I've had my share of facial stitches, but I also learned etiquette. Sadly, from what I am seeing it has only changed for the worse. And Austrailia has sooooo many spots. Bigger crowds & the hope to go viral on You Tube has raised the aggro meter on what was a spiritual experience for me. I's rather be at a smaller, mushier spot with 2-3 friends than fight those crowds. Sure, I like to slash about some & reduce stress, but I prefer working on my lines so when the big waves hit, I can get deeper for longer than most. I guess that's why Kipp, Russell, Somma, & the many others charge @ Shipsterns Bluff, Cyclops, the Box, and Cape Fear. I'd like to see those wave snakes try that nonsense out there. "Nasty wipeout, didja see him pop up ??" "Nope, can't seem to find him. You want to have a go ?? 😂 Nice vid, surfing, & editing. Music choice was interesting too. Cheers, bro. 😎👍🏄‍♂

    @@jaydickey1049Thank you for the response. Just talking here with joy in my heart, May I ask you - "Real Surfer" I do understand why you would say that. But what does that mean really? I love waking up at 530 a.m. having coffee, packing the board, my damp wetsuit, the smell of wax, stopping by the donut & veggie burrito shop, slowing down to get the first glimpse of the line-up and swell, feeling that first cold water hit my face and trickle down inside my wetsuit, paddling out to greet those who got there before me, saying a few blessings as the sun begins to wake up the ocean, and then - there it is! my first swell, a gift offered to us, me and my brother both take off and hoot out in joy, we scream down the line together trading places, pounding a few off the lips and bottom turns before one of us peels off to give the other the brief barrel offered, and then back out we paddle together, for a glorious day in the ocean. Sure he may be better than I at the technique of turns and barrel riding - HOWEVER - My point is at what level does someone become a REAL surfer? When they can successfully pull off the same two turns 10 times in a row at a crowded lineup? Or when they are surfing their home break and they show a 30-year-old Vet, who's visiting for the first time, or a teenager, how to better take off and where to wait to catch the best wave? Who is a REAL surfer?

Cyclone swell turns up and you 2000 people all have the same idea surf snapper and claim you surfed that storm. Well no you didn't you watched others surf it whilst sitting there and I can't think of anything more frustrating other than trying to find parking. Man it's not possible on all bigger swells but spread out will you! Go elsewhere don't fall for the trap of sticking to what you know. The locals hate you yet you keep going? It's so negative, I missed this place on purpose and if up nth generally missed noosa by choice. My last surf at noosa well 2nd last was full on awesome and it was was the 90s.

    Wow. 3rd world complaints. a perfect point break and of course it’s crowded to the point of not being fun… meanwhile some Somalian has a perfect set up all to themselves and is living a stress free life

    These aren't good waves because you won't be out if they were good. there's no fight, if you're on my wave you will be injured but my fins, my pointed nose, or my foot, usually accidentally because I'm a crazy horrible surfer. Sorry my fault

    Surfspot should be called "Selfish Rocks" man - no one is into sharing at all. More backpaddling than Malibu! But I am taking notes for next time I surf a crowded point. Since everywhere is crowded as F nowadays. Yeah - drone is incredible angle. Best thing to ever happen to surf cinematography... it's come a long way since Greenough! And yeah Occy is a hell of a snake himself... ultra entitled everywhere on the planet... but.... he is a major inspiration for those over fifty. He surfs like a 20 year old. That's kinda sorta giving him a status to have any wave he wants - but does that cause him to be nicer? Hmmm I dunno!!
