Surf's Up Break Free - Learn the benefits of an online business and how I was able to get the life I have always wanted (chasing waves) Let me say this too, Online Business goes far beyond making UA-cam Videos --- start.lifeinthewave.net/free-video-series.
Those calling out jet ski dudes have either never surfed Burleigh or any of the Gold Coast points when on the pump or are just jealous core lords. The sweep there is something else, on a solid swell coming from the south there's like a river flowing along the point, so even though the waves may not look that massive, it requires ridiculous amount of effort and top fitness to even stay in the lineup.
I rode a boog at Burleigh for many years in the late 90's- 2000's on solid swells, at times it used to drain hollow on the inside point 6-8ft, sometimes more. We dealt with the heavy sweep that used to drag you down past the old shit pipe if you didn't keep up ya paddling. No skis those days, just solid fitness!
I was bodyboarding Tallebudgera on Saturday and I swear the waves were a solid 8 metres on the bigger sets, it took me 30 mins to paddle out and even then I only got out because of the biggest rip I've seen in my life. I went from near the palm beach reef and got out a solid 100 metres away from the seawall.
@@davidkooyman2359 like I’ve said on another persons comment. I’ve surfed Burleigh dozens of times 6-8ft over the yrs. The paddle out/sweep is what separates the kooks from the chargers. I can guarantee you those blokes towing wouldn’t be out in proper 6-8ft let alone pulling into stand ups. Gold Coast is a fucking joke as it is. And if u think it’s the right call then you’re part of the problem too.
@@dillonhall266 meh i surfed it that same day, 2 nice waves, 1.5hrs of paddling against the sweep. the jetskis werent really in the way and I was jealous every second as my arms were going to jelly. call me a kook but i would never screw that jump in at Burlz like these ones in the vid. It was just a really hard paddle day that day honestly
Walking over them rocks when the swell gets bigger can be a dangerous proposition.. if you get caught the water surge elevates you up and then on its retreat fn dumps you straight down like a sledge hammer. And on your back onto large sharp rocks is not pretty. The back could break and the head too. I been lacerated to pieces. Then you gotta clean the bloody blood all over your body somehow.. A pain.. Not fun them rocks. I seen grommets just walk over them so quick I don't know how they do it. And slippery too. The only positive encouragement I felt was a local seeing my blood and scars and saying Yep you havnt surfed burleigh till you been scraped across them rocks lol

We did ok with it in the 60s with long boards and no leg ropes, no skis.we were tougher then than now….obviously.
@@NeilJR classic core lord comment. Or should it be rephrased as "if only you had legropes, thrusters and jet skis back then"?

True, but the truth is relative. Some people will, some wont.
that dude at @4:44 can barely surf...don't tell me he is a ripper who had no other option than using a ski. it's just lame
I surfed it 9am that day, one of the hardest sweep currents ive witnessed at Burlz for a while. still a nice wave before LIONS AFL PREMIERSHIP !!!

@@christianwitthoft5071 it can be 3 foot there- that rip is always there🥴
Like that rounded pin twin fin at the start
Kooks towing in at 4ft Burleigh. What has the gold coast become
@@dillonhall266 😀
Crowded
@dillonhall266 you dont see the 6ft outsider sets or the massive current... it was the right call that day

Ding fixers will be happy
@@garypalmer5441 😅
Bro seems so fun for ripping, but why jetskis? Maybe the rip currents? The entry to paddle out seems so easy in comparison to other spots in low tide
the sweep that day was unmanageable, i paddled from tally to only just get to sharkies
I've been smashed against the rocks before. Not fun.
if those guys can't jump off the rocks and paddle out .how can they surf the waves ?
@@chulieho 🤔
That jet ski that's just bullshit!
the sweep was fucked
JetSkis at Burleigh….😂
Name n shame these kooks
Bro chill just let them tow in and have fun
