Barrels and Bruises @ Maxing Snapper Rocks! #surfing #waves #goldcoast
If you got down to Snapper Rocks for the early surf on this day there was a good chance you would have scored a gaping barrel! The wind turned early and put some pretty big chop through it, effectively ruining the conditions. Enjoy watching some of the best surfers on some awesome waves with a bit of carnage mixed in :P

Footage from drone and land of morning surf session at Duranbah beach (Dbah) Gold Coast. Little East and Northeast swell 2 to 3 foot offering some fun waves. Perfect weather and conditions. Definitely feeling winter this morning with temperature dropping to 13 degrees.

Surfers get spoiled with loads of pits at Froggies beach Coolangatta. The sand thats being dredged from the Tweed River builds a serious playground for surfers creating awesome banks that eventually move around to Snapper Rocks to create the Super Bank!

The future of surfing on the Gold Coast is in good hands as these young surfers display amazing talent! Testing and honing their skills in peaky, hollow barrels at Froggies beach between Snapper Rocks and Duranbah. Growing up as a surfer in Coolangatta definitely has its perks!!

    • @danielbelcher_
      @danielbelcher_ 26 днів тому

      Crowded surf is synonymous with all of southern gold coast beaches. This beach, (duranbah) is northern side of a river mouth with sand banks collecting behind the breakwall that slowly migrate north. Sand is dumped there regularly from dredging the Tweed. This, and the fact that it faces south means it is the most consistent wave in both swell and peaky barreling waves 😎

    That was actually pretty reserved response from the standup could easily of made it a memorable experience and pointy ended him, Noob bodyboarder so whaddya do, as a booger who grew up down in Sydney in the 80s/90s I’m always surprised how chilled out the surfers are on the gold coast people go on about surf aggro around here but I’m really yet to see it I’ve only ever witnessed well deserved verbal blasts

    • @danielbelcher_

    As a boog i used to get dropped in on all the time at greenmount and kirra. On the epic days, while in the tube. How many times id race through on the inside and kick out my leg tripping them up and sending em to the impact zone it was .almost a hobby. * In defense of boogs obviously this guys a noob but usually the drop ins are stand ups in my experience

    • @danielbelcher_
      @danielbelcher_ Місяць тому

      Interesting perspective. I've definitely seen a lot of that in my time, though it used to be much worse. There was a period were bodyboarders gained more respect from stand ups when they started charging mental slabs like shark island, chopes and ours. This guy though inadvertently giving the bodyboarding community a bad rep.

    • @danielbelcher_
      @danielbelcher_ 3 місяці тому

      Your right! It was very peaky and the take off unpredictable. You can tell this when the pack is spread out and not more consecrated on single take off points. This absolutely makes for a more challenging surf and ultimately more rewarding if you snag a good one from under everyone's nose. As for the pulled back pov, I've only just started my video journey and have a limited amount of gear. This is from a 50-210mm lens. Most guys are packing 600mm +. It's freehand as well, untill I can afford a fluid head for my tripod 😜. Thanks so much for the comment. It means a lot 👍😎🤙
