  • Massive waves hit Sydney on the 15th of July. I missed the last few big swells. This time I was able to venture out and witness mother nature put on a show.

    Used to surf (paddle in) there (Deadmans) in the early 1970's, 80's and 90's always had it to myself. Sometimes someone would paddle over from Winkipop then paddle back after looking over the drop and at the cliff face. Told everyone the secrets of how to handle it then more started to surf there. Stopped surfing there 2000's when a jetski dropped in on me and the same day had a tow rope burn across my neck. In my seventies now, still ride a short board and big waves on the guns but the days are numbered and ability getting worse.

      Aye John. I stopped surfing in 1975 (didn't know it then). I'm 66 now and I can't even take off on a soft little wave in my dreams. But I still climb 5.12!

      Randy at your age you need to pick an activity or sport that you like and do it even though sometimes you just don't feel like it. Your brain is your body's enemy as it's always telling you to do nothing and eat junk food. What I do is trick it by saying to myself I won't go far on the cycling, I won't lift much in my gym or I just take the board and just look. But once started always end up with a good session.
      Hope this helps in future if the climbing wanes.

      @@johnboom6777 I hear you. I started rock climbing in 1973 and that's been my life sport. I'm not the man of my youth, but climbing is mostly mental (the rest is in your head), and I'm climbing better, if not harder, than ever. I'm a restless type and will go down fighting, it's sad to see my friends give up as they get older,
      It's fantastic you are surfing at a high level. Well I know the coordination and timing to ride a short board. And the commitment of big waves - I was just starting to dabble in big waves. I grew up near the beaches of Orange County, learned at Doheny 1969, was a Salt Creek local. I never imagined I would have such a short surfing career. I blame my wife - we marriage 1977, and we just went climbing and mountaineering forever after. Later she found ultra running and does that craziness still running 100 milers at age 64.

      If you could have a swim between climbs it may help, Vit D improves covid resistance. Sea water has a lot of magnesium, a body essential. Cold water swims resists onset of dementia.

    Had to rewatch the wave @3:20 20 times. That comes out of nowhere and looks like Shipstern Bluff. Insane skill to read that and ride that, and the shot capturing the others looking down the wave at him tops it off.

    At 01:30 what happened to those guys? I mean, this is actually a fucking dangerous situation when you get hit by such a wave the power could take you out into the ocean and then you could easily get killed. Why were they standing there?? It's strange. If you're in the ocean with those waves and the rocks everywhere, I don't think anyone could survive that...

    • @ashmellross3273
      @ashmellross3273  3 роки тому +1

      Mostly they would get rolled around inside the rockpool. There was one moment when one guy was dragged over the pool edge and into the open ocean. That could have ended badly. But luckily it was only a bit of a thrill and he surged back to the railing and back over into the pool.

      Ash is right!
      I've surfed Bronte on really big days! There is a local fitness trainer by tge name of Troy. He is very fit and a keen local surfer. I've surfed huge Bronte a few times with him. Please don't get me wrong, you need to have so much experience (I used to bodyboard for thirty years plus, grow up on the south coast of NSW) to be fit and a strong swimmer. When Bronte is big, it breaks way out back down the southern end and once I jumped off the top, where you see a local jumping the fence on the rock pool, I landed on a rock ledge and scraped my shine. Lucky for me I was smart enough to use my knowledge of the ocean and cushion my impact by landing on the broken wave rushing over that ledge but to my surprise, it wasn't enough and I felt rock.. the eastern beaches of sydney are small beaches and with huge south swells, it doesn't work too well, I prefer the big open beaches/reefs and point breaks south of wollongong

    How are brazzos beating you guys on tour. The average Ozzie surfer is so good.

      I'd say most if not all these surfers are above average. Av surfers wouldnt charge these waves. Would they? Who knows.
