Looks like pretty fun day in the water but a bit nasty to be hanging on the beach behind a camera!

Looks like a beautiful spot in that trip footage. I bet it really goes off w/ offshores & the right tide. I love seeing what other people are doing w/ paipos around the world. The '64 film seems to confirm (around 1:54) that the origin of the drop knee bodyboard / Jack (Lindholm) stance was in paipo riding.

That is a really beautiful wave in what appears to be a lovely bucolic location.
Looks like you might want a leash tho'.....

the inside point breaks so close to the rocks that you could nearly have a conversation with the guy in the baz. the photos dont really give a good impression of how close you are to the shelf. when this place gets 8' ish some pro goofy's have had trouble getting into it! the local boogers love it in fact this part of southern nsw is a potential paipo paradise, shame it gets so cold (from a sub trop surfers perspective)

Seems like a grand spot for finless paipos and Gath helmets!

I would love to take my finned board out at this spot. One thing I noticed in some of the videos was the difficulty of the finless boards to track and project on a wave. The best tracking and projecting seemed to be in the 4th video on the Galera board.

Quite a nice looking wave.

True, I was just thinking finless due to proximity of very shallow rocks

Rod,

It was fun. Less fun, I don't think I mentioned that I broke off two of John's fins and bent the other when I went out on the last day. Keep me away from finned paipo.

Both of the finless boards need a bit of power and when it came to the fuller end section, the boards lose some control, but the wave was effectively over when this section was reached. At 1.17 on the Goddard clip for day 3, with a longer walled wave you see no problem with projection.

The wave had a few idiosyncrasies due to backwash off the rocks and proximity to the rocks. At times the first section had to be struggled through due to water churning/backwash. Day 3 with the NOfin board had the cleanest surface conditions. Less water enabled better clearance from the inside rocks.

Puurri,

Global Ernie's top and bottom photos are the G. It wasn't big enough really to get it going. As GE says - think 200yards south.

My two sidebites are very small, about 2", and my center fin usually ranges from 4" to 4.5". Not huge, but they get rather chewed up in Costa Rica and Puerto Rico. Still love my fins!

2x 4- 5 inch fins are the best otherwise drag bites into the speed potential of the hull. jest sayin'

I have a fin in my trunk that would turn that board into something memorable!

Speaking off, look over on the left. Very Happy
