Seriously Cords that vid was epic!

I know! I didn’t share it cos it is average. It is from a film called ‘6 months’. You can buy it on itunes for about $12 I think. I got my dvd copy free with an old riptide. Well worth a watch…..but between the shippies footage and the skeleton bay footage, Ewan Donnachie has got my favourite gopro ocean footage ever.

Im low on data Cords can’t watch the vid yet, do you wanna take my go here and post a wave?
.

ok sure. Here is my next one….easy one for the boogers, I reckon!

 

Orright, powers of deduction…looks like WA water and brown headland. Looks a bit out to sea…The Box?
My only negative is box is down south so the headland might be greener.

I reckon Spaz is onto it, looks whatever that piece of land is behind it, is that Bundeena down that way right?

 

Sharkies was my next guess but it doesn’t look as thick or heavy as most photos.

Nope, not correct either. It isn’t in Australia.

Also, you rarely see this wave from this angle. Thought I’d see if anyone could get it from this angle before I showed the angle people may instantly recognise.

Let me know if I need to post more clues!

 

Canaries?

I don’t know any names over there 15 yrs ago i coulda guessed half a dozen names coz i had a plan to go there and Morocco but it fell through. Im old and forgetful now.
Im sure there’s a suicides , razors and another unimaginative name there. Hahaha. Could get googling but work calls….
Spaz your a Google master aren’t ya, get onto it.

Google leads me to believe it’s Los Lobos because of the description I found saying the island is “moon scape” and that background looks pretty free of vegetation.

(I didn’t look closely when saying Skark Isl (Sharkies is a spot on the leisure coast. Illawarra. Deebs) plus I’m colour blind so thought it was green at first glance.

sorry, not Los Lobos.

Where have my booger friends disappeared to?

 

Orrighty my Google says el fronton is rated as THE wave for boogers. Looks a right mess of a slab left and a decent right?
