@justchilln100 thanks for your kind words. To answer that question "sort of" sorry for not being too specific, but similar area yes.

Epic conditions and great production guys. Real Oz. I have sailed up and down the QLD coast a number of times and got wet but never came across a break like that. What time of year? Great stuff you should get this in front of the quicksilver boys! How were the noahs?

@prestigepropertytv Thanks presti for the complements. Around April we have found to be the best time and there are sharks about but supposedly they are well fed on other things :-)

THanks mate, hopefully there will be more like it

I am going to Queensland, to Rockhampton specifically, and I hope I can surf at least 10% of your surfing. Great surfers, amazing sea, so beautiful. You look like very nice people.

I know exactly where this is. My mates and I have been surfing there for 20 years. We locals call it Long Wall. That's not a bad day out there. There is a reef around the area (can't tell you where sorry) that is twice as epic and the rides are 20x longer. We call it Bunnies. No where near as hairy on the wipe outs either. Makes J Bay look like a garbage shorey.

I'm heading out there sunday boys, out to the shoals past North West! Should be insane with all this swell around! If I get some video i'll throw it up on youtube for sure. But it wont be anything on this, top video this one.
