trip down to the Coal Coast of NSW with Jeff and Brad

cool seaside cliff highway
paddling over a set wave at Stanwell. swell looked a bit too straight for this point...NE would work well though.

looking down on Stanwell Park. how many lefts do you see in this pic? (there's a couple and there's lefts aplenty in this area)

Jeff and Brad checking the size at Stanwell Park...yup, well overhead, welcome to Sydney, stoked!

Coalcliff had a fun drop but went pretty weak after that

making the drop at Thommo's but a rare section popped up to shorten the ride, really fun wave on this big E swell.

bodyboarder slotted
big tabletop headland behind the Coal Coast

bodyboarding spot just north of Thommo's

overhead at Thommo's on the Coal Coast









hike around the North Head, Manly

rocks with just a few handholds
view back up the Harbor towards the CBD

natural combing of the Wolverine chops

view back towards Manly

just hanging around



every beach has a pool. just out the back of that sculpture is Fairy Bower, good reef surf spot when it goes overhead



Brad and Jeff surfing DY point

Brad dropping in
in between sets

Jeff headed down the line, Brad paddling over the shoulder


Brad getting some

did he make the drop?


Jeff working it


trying to pump what's left


reach out and touch somebody! imagine how crowded it gets when it's over waist high
