@ Lakeys one morning (I was always on the 5am session!) I was out by myself for 30 mins but in a total of under 90 mins I had 20 solid waves under my belt and to today I will always remember the count.. Me 17 (deep pits) Lakeys 3 (on the head, ground into the reef on the inside!)
You did better at lakeys than me Indo. I can't remember getting too many barrels and I copped the worst flogging of my life (no  , second worst). I got caught inside with a solid set looming over my head and about 20 inches of water to hide in. I managed to wedge myself in a crevis in the coral but the wave just plucked me off the reef like a starfish and rolled my across about 20 meters of coral. When I came up, both my board (brand new) was snapped in halve as well as my legrope.  Hahaha good to see Im not the only one who has stood on the reef there and got a flogging. Lucky for all its just rock and not live coral ......

Yeah PP.
That reef is fairly gentle, though the right shallower and sharper than the left.
On BIG days the inside gets pretty dry (as I found out) but pipe is were I paid my dues!
I'd give my left nut to be over there now..

I've just been up north for 4 days with the Fam. I escaped those naaarsty westerlies. Scored some small fun waves at north Boomers and Treach. (koko will know these.) Friday morn in the carpark it was 6 deg. with a 15kt SWer blowing. The water was 17 deg. So Indo if you move over here mate, thats as bad as it gets.  Still manage quite easily with a 2/3 steamer, no hood or boots. Nice vid.  Some heavy spots there.

The only place I can remember surfing on true coral, or coral heads, is Naraloo

The only place I can remember surfing on true coral, or coral heads, is Naraloo Not at all! If I had've blown it up it would be more like 50 waves! I spent a long long time there and waves came to me flies to shiat! Did ya like a few of the big spits in tha flick? Gotta love that spot.

No. Crossed wires here.
I was talking about my claim of being dragged along coral. Anyways, it all bloody hurts!
What was that long barrelling right? Is that a local break for you?

Mantas, I got ya.. combination of Coopers, Mclaren Vale shiraz and SA's finest!
Ze cracking right is that starts with a W is kinda local. The once that unloads it's guts is on the Yorke Peninsular and reminds me so much of Puerto Escondido.
PP.. were they fishing with TNT up there too?
