Like California and much of the world,
Australia’s east coast gets some really great surf in summer. East
swells are kinda rare and light up a whole host of diff spots. One of
those is this gem from New South Wales’ south coast last Saturday (and,
no need to be a hero to call out the locale).
As the comments will testify, we will assume the
conversation will go like this: Surfers shouldn’t be towing through
bodyboarders. It’s against the law, etc.
The response will go something like this: If waves were
going unridden and couldn’t be paddled into, then there should be the
ability to tow waves so they’re enjoyed.
Both are salient points. However, these conversations get
murky when we try to work out whether the towed wave was actually able
to be ridden with paddle power.
Regardless of your opinion, these are some sketchy and yet
enjoyable tubes. Oh, and the surfers featured are Scott Dennis
(regular) and Tim Taplin (goofy).
Let the games begin…
