Thats insane. That's some of the longest, heaviest tubes I have ever seen.

Fucking seriously sick drainers ! Can you imagine having such a " World Class " wave right in your own backyard ?

Insane, but freeze the video at 0:14,and remember that every person in that crowd surfs better than you do. I really like the musical track behind it.

My favorites' gotta be at 1:36! From the ridiculous making of his drop, to being soooo far back the whole freaking way!! What's yours

Fanning and Parko !

I think that wave's so heavy because of all the sand it's sucking up. Holy Hoover Batman!

add a signature since I'm here in profile anyway

You can see the sand as brown sucking up the face after strip mining on the inside. Falling there would make you faint every time you saw a rag doll after.

Interesting history of the Kirra groynes here, with photos, before and after the Superbank sand pumping:

Little groyne got buried after all the sand pumping, disappearing in 2003, but has made a partial reappearance due to erosion since then. Amazing pics at the link.

I surfed the little groyne side in 1999, because the whole Top 44 and all their friends were on the main peak by the big groyne, and it was heavy (during Cyclone Frank). I was watching from way down the line as pro after pro got shacked in tubes with as much sand as water in the lip.
