For some reason the ABC over here have this little piece on their website at the moment. Big wave stuff filmed at Shipsterne and a few other places: enjoy!

I think that they are all from the 2009 Billabong XXL awards.

That step at Shipstern seems to trip a few of them up, and full marks to the guy at Dungeons for paddling in and taking the full drop.

Actually had a good day today - two good sessions at the "shithole"

Just seen this. Only went out in Newquay Saturday. Lewinnick first, then Offshore bar then Belushi's. Not a bad night with all the crazy halloween goings on. Do you live in Newquay then? My mate is trying to get into climbing and lives there, could do with pointing in the right direction.

Looks a bit chilly on the willy!

Great video though, some fun stuff (from a non-surfer perspective), in particular the long board.

Whats up with the ply-board thing though, looks like it would be very hard to use?

it's an alaia (or similar, different sized ones have different names). They are traditional boards, and  usually made of Paulowina wood, probably not plywood. Finless, so pretty hard to ride, but look like great fun. Would love to give one a go.

Had some nice waves today, mild, cloudless and not a breath of wind. Nice small clean swell, great for longboarding. Almost pleasant!

Werte is Draculars?
Esouannes is the tip if we need not the gun vibe at Anchors? got any other suggestions!!!
Taking a 9.o   A 9.4   and a 9.6
plus gun 7.4?
Draculas is well past anchors going to Boilers. storm rider euro has details.
you will not need a gun for any of the points.
just your standard board wil suffice. looking at those measurements, i assume they are longboards.
ride a short board 6' 1 and only needed my 6'6 once when it was double overhead. you do need massive swells for Anchor point, Mystos to work.

if they are on, it will be rammed. and you will be able to find more waves else where along the coast. if you aren't up for the bigger stuff, there are sheltered beaches and coves along the voast road.

i enjoyed surfing bananna beach and panoramas. banana beach is just north outside of Agadir. you'll see a village elling bananas, simple ehh!!!

a big tip, take loads  and loads of coins, beggars and scam artisits well harass you for change. at boilers they even blocked the carpark entry unless you paid!!
ther is also 'insurance' to ensure your car remains intact while your surfing. yjis will cost coins as well.


if you have time go up to Essaouira. no surf, but very beautiful and fantastic fish stalls and  markets.
dress conservativley. ie slacks and shirt. show a bit of respect to the muslim culture and you wont get hasslesd (as much)


finally, bouldering opposite draculas.
you cant miss it. massive caves on the right side of the coast road heading north from Agadir. easy aprking options on side of the road.

if you don't have bouldering pads, fold up your board bags.

enjoy and happy birthday

I knew as soon as you posted I had done something wrong. I don't have a flickr account and can't figure out how to backlink without downloading any programmes at work which I am not allowed to do, but here is the guys page, so knock yourself out
