An unforgettable session at an unridden wave, it was a crazy cross-country mission to meet the swell at this spot and when we arrived it was probably a bit too big. Hard to tell. Big wave aficionado Joel Fitzgerald was keen to find out, charging into bombs on his self-made single-fins the 'Midnight Lightning' and the 'Sea Gypsy' with vintage style. Roach, a longboarder and all-around waterman from Noosa Heads, was pushing his own comfort limits in the waves, but charged hard to keep pace with Fitzgerald. There were a lot of poundings, hard-paddles, and a nearly-drowned water-filmer, but the adventure made for a great section of Se7en Signs, which was kinda the point.
