- While most of the pro scene was on the Gold Coast during this epic cyclone swell, Asher Pacey, Kyuss King and crew snuck up to score perfection amongst the punters at the famous Sunshine Coast point setup.

Surfed there in 72 only about 10 people in the lineup. Those were the days 👌
I got Ti Tree bay, 5 ft, northerly swell, no one out as the sun went down. One of my greatest surf memories ever. About '86
Surfed there in 14 only aout 500 people in the lineup. Those were the days 👌
Surfed there in the 60’s. Heaven on earth.
Great waves...just you and 500 or your close friends to feel comfortable with.
Every 15 years
All before social distancing!
Not to mention the 500 sharks as well
@@mikebrezzze 🤔 pretty sure there's shark nets and haven't heard of a shark attack in noosa for a long time
And to think back in the late 60s Tiny and I used to feel a little bit lonely at Ti Tree with just the 2 of us being able to pick & choose which wave we would like.
I know I am rubbing it in, but that's what it was really like. A small crowd on the weekends but deserted during the week. You really had to look ahead at the weather forecast because Noosa rarely turned it on like you see in this vid. Winter with south westerlies was usually a waste of time unless there was a big big swell pushing around the headland. Any North Easterly....forget it. A strong South Easterly & a swell and you could get lucky. After surfing the Sunshine Coast for 5 years solid the crowd finally pushed me away particularly when the southerners "discovered" Noosa.
Interesting story. I always wondered what it was like back in the day. I went there in the early 80s as a kid and it was all bush up until the town. Hardly any housing. Ive only surfed here recently and the crowds were terrible. Hundreds of surfers. I remember Bali in the 80s. Was spectacular like Noosa
I remember an epic day back in the 80's when you could make it from Ti Tree to main beach. The pics are hanging in the Noosa Surf shop.
True I have had plenty of waves from the pot to main beach through this time to shame the place has exploded years ago
Yes it's a good surf break,I remember mid 90s after a cyclone it basically joined up to all points with a clean massive swell,my 6'6 rounded pin from southern WA was incredible,beautifull breaks boiling pot,tea tree and further south.
It is the beast from the 70s on i surfed its grew up on the points the bays and sunshine beach truly people Noosa was SIMPLY THE BEST PLACE TO GROW UP IN SIMPLY WAS THE 3 BEST SURF BREAK IN THE WORLD ARSK ANY OF US TRUE LOCALS ENJOY FOR MANY MANY MORE YEARS
In the 60’s before leashes and only longboards, Noosa for me was like a scary best kine dessert of them all!
Losing your board at National Park was no joke & sometimes you had to count the dings & cry. I was christened with my nickname Rock Hopper there. :(
Good memories, it is an incredible wave.
Heaps of blue bottles and touros too!
Ah! those were the days when we used to say ‘your turn’
Nowhere near long enough. We want MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't matter how many are out there, if you can get some good waves then it's worth it.
And the MOST crowded... fck that!
Whomever you are thanks for just making it more crowded I’m so glad your not older so that I didn’t see you
Yeah cause no one's heard of Noosa... it's already crowded spot. Byron and Noosa aren't going to get more crowded from a video of good surf, there's videos of places 1000x's better than the surf-tourism spots - people don't come for the waves as much as they come for whatever 'experience' they've been sold. If you live in those areas and are complaining about a 2 min clip on youtube you're just a masochist.
Agreed.
Awesome.
So is DI. But it's day only comes two or three times a decade.
Amazing wave but busiest surf break I surfed in Oz 🌊
Most Excellent ¿
My hometown
I surfed there, but had the place to myself and nephew.
Noosa rocks, shame it's so crowded, much like J Bay, no contest, best right in the world, Super Tubes,
Secret spot
Heaven is on the right path!
Noosa on low tide 🤤
good call guys. go get it. I thought the Pass looked good!!
Might drive up now... with my extended family, chur see you soon
angourie cross snapper cross Lennox cross the pass its awesome, its Noosa
Yes it is... just a pig to paddle when the sweep is on 😁
Nice clip - should be crediting the soundtrack.
If he has paid for the music rights (from places like audioblocks) then he isnt necessarily required to.
Rare swell, probably from a cyclone. Noosa is usually flat
the 70's it was cool....population explosion on the sunny dealt it a cruel blow.
Recently looked at world population statistics and was immensely startled to see that from 1970 to today it has roughly doubled
Artist/title of soundtrack?
What’s this track called
yeah Noosa looks great and has been totally ruined by the huge crowd that gets on it any time it's over 1 ft. Same as Gold Coast and Byron Bay these places are not worth visiting anymore. You could be out 3 hours at these places and never get a wave :(
It's so sad ;(
In my mid sixties.
I doubt it pops.
Pffff everyone complaining about the crowd.... but just like honolua.... all u need is 1
Aye brah
Don't give me this "videos are attracting the crowds" shit. Crowdwise, Noosa has gone to the dogs decades ago. The waves are the same - when there are any - and if you don't mind hassling for them and getting dropped in on, you still get some good ones, I suppose, but neither is for me.
I first got there when a friend of mine bought 20 acres of land (for 4 grand) about half way along the road between Eumundi and Noosaville. When I say "road", it was just a single lane dirt track. If you saw dust - indicating a car coming the other way - you started looking for a gap between the bushes and trees so you could get past each other. Sometimes both of you finished up in a gap simultaneously, waiting for the other to pass. Sometimes one of us would have to back up a bit to duck into one we had just passed.
The arrangement with my friend suited both of us. On flat days I'd be assisting a 70 year old carpenter building a three-level cabin. On days when there was a swell running I borrowed my friend's car and spent the day in the park. There never was much of a crowd. One day I actually got spooked out at Ti Tree Bay. Not only was I the only one in the water, but there was absolutely noone on the beach or walking along the path above it to be seen. Imagination started to run wild. What if I were attacked by a shark now? If if I did not die quickly, I'd surely bleed to death on my way to the park's gate. After about half a dozen waves I lost my nerves and got out.
I did stay at my friend's place a few more times The second time around the single track dirt road had been widened. Two cars could pass each other without leaving it. Crowds became greater each time I went. Somewhere in the mid 80s they were too much for me there (and BB). For the next 15 years I surfed at lesser known spots.
I remember that road & also the 70? or was it 90? turns in the road from Cooroy to Noosa. My memory is getting dim with my 76yrs. I also remember when there was a dirt road between Mooloolaba & Caloundra which could leave you stranded, & no bridge over the Mooloolah River. No housing until you reached Currimundi Lakes. Paddling across the river mouth with feet up to avoid the munchies, to reach Cartwright & those short rides & no leg ropes. We were mad those days, but hell it was fun.
No one cares stop writeing books.
Cool story bro
👋
Looks like a TON of kooks that should stay home. Queens and Canoes in waikiki is like this....But the dude at 0:14 knows what he’s doin!
What about the right wave in Australia way bigger
There would be dead surfers littering the coast..you do not casually paddle out to the right and hope to hook into a bomb.it is truly as dangerous as a wave can be.wrong tide or direction one mistake and your going 30 meters deep under and around the ledge,only to pop up in the impact zone before coping several more on the head..but it does produce barrels beyond compare..no where near as rippable as Noosa.but hey each to thier own.Australia is blessed hard when it comes to breaks at the highest levels on the planet.
...ooooh...lala...bitchen...
It is so rare that Noosa is like this. Also most of the barrels are at a very low tide/giant swell spot (in front of the rock shelf) that is for experts only. I have lived here for 20 years and never surfed it.
Once a year chance .
There's a reason there's so many great surfers in Australia. They have better surf than we do in Hawaii
Surfed it today farken sik
i prefer my waves crewfree
Why bother can't go
Noosa gets really fun waves occasionally but they are nowhere close to world class points, god bless
Please please please, Noosa's Surf breaks do not need anymore promoting.
Trying to get a Wave with only twenty greedy surfers in the Line-up is bad enough, let alone Fifty on a busy day. 🤙🏽
Been like that way before you were born son.
50... thats an uncrowded day
Surfed better waves in Portland when it's on
1:17 when you can't even rock off, you shouldn't be out in the line up.
Agreed!
Everyone gets to surf mate, you don’t get to choose
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But God demonstrates his own love toward us, and that while we were still sinners, Jesus Christ died for us. Romans 3:23,5:8
Amen! Gods amazing Grace!
Not my god. I prefer not having imaginary friends
And on the seventh day God went Surfing 🛸
Go away!!!
Who? Huey?
Terrible music
No style going on here.
Think Crawford and Loehr.
That’s what I’m talking about...
