Name the break

A game for the surf section.
Name the wave or location then you get to post the next image.

Each photo has 48hrs to be identified, then if not answered it becomes open for anyone to post. Try to make them easy.

Lets start;

Yep, most photographed wave on earth with the first man to ever successfully ride it “the Bull”, taken before paddling out on the first day it was ridden.

Your turn to post an image surferguy.

My fist thought was Cloudbreak, then I thought no, Teahupoo is more famous.

I think that’s Wiamea Bay, or so I learned from watching Point Break wink
haha

Bells Pumping at 10’-20’
First Surfing reserve in the world, birth place of the wetsuit (RipCurl), the biggest WCT comp held outside Hawaii - same comp that Simon Anderson won the first comp on a 3 finned surf board.
Apart from Hawaii - possibly the most important surf break on the planet for modern surfing.

Pretty sure it was O’Neill that lay claim to the first Wettie?????

Even Body Glove were around before Rip Curl also!!!!!

Maybe but they made them for diving/skiing not surfing. RipCurl redesigned with zip in back (not around the crotch/belly) and to keep out cold - not because of body becoming cold due to emersion.
That’s what I’m saying because I don’t actually know.

Waiting for confirmation on pic before posting new pic (even though I know I’m right) I don’t want to come across big headed - haha
