it is bigger then it looks the sets were much bigger, and i assume he has a ski so he doesnt have to keep trying to fight that cunt of a sweep thats going on down there.

"Mate, why on earth does he have a ski? Please tell me he's not getting towed into that........"
naa have to disagree, the sweep would have been intense. when the ocean is like that - youd catch maybe 10-20 times more waves per hour then when paddleing....
nice pics george!
Nice george, nice. Couldn't do that without straps huh.

Must admit, I'm lovin' the footage at the moment boys. Think it's funny how when I posted a question about towing it was all "fvck the cvnts" etc, but when pics show up of guys doing ARS's it gets some positive calls. Yes Scrotty - I know I know, it's too small to tow. But how much fun do you reckon those guys are having!!!

Can't help you with footage of up there sorry Josh, but here's a few pics of our "superbank". No - these aren't recent, but if you check out http://www.stugibson.net/ he'll have a few more recent ones.

^Icy indo.
scored sick ones today at kirra. hardly any crew on it and big bazwahs to be had.

Do I assume from that call Ron that Kirra is back? Saw the footage was labelled as kirra/greenmount, but from the angle, I remember that as Snapper/greenmount. Is there actually a bank back at the Sahara dessert - I mean Kirra?

Sorry mates, (George, when in Rome....)
Sweep or no sweep, that is too small to be towed into. Part of the surfing experience is getting swept, going in and back up the beach, paddling back out and sacking up to do it all over again.
The kids that are always getting towed are going to get into a situation where they drown due to their lack of real ocean skills. You can't have a strong understanding of the inside (surviving multiple hold downs, using rips to your advantage, etc.) unless you spend a lot of time in it.
If they have already have that knowledge disregard my post. If they do not, I believe they will have a misplaced sense of security from having a ski in the water and will wind up paying the price if the ski falters.
Back to our normally ridiculous programming: Harrow!

Nah thats a good call, Im not gonna disagree there.

The sweep is a good crowd leveller
Imagine if every prick had a ski out at snapper? It would be disastrous!!
The crowd factor would be totally unbearable with every kook trying to swing into the next set and I'm sure that ski's would quite probably be banned from being used for this purpose.
IMO,If there is no one paddling in then the ski's may be usd, if there are a few dudes paddling then the ski's should fuck off!
Wise words there Gaz, skis should nick off if paddling surfers are in the line up.
I remember a day at Burleigh 5-6ft a few years back where a certain pro and his ski driver were just towing through the line up like they couldn't give a fark about any one.
A ski could be fun but no doubt, but it would take some of the thrill out of it I reckon.
Scrott, does crew in New England use skis?

Bill, not that I have seen. Perhaps in the wintertime on the biggest swells. Kim Jong might need an assist and until Leah's ass heals up she'll be needing a tow.

Sorry GC Lidder,
but i'd rather watch LeahD's arse heal than watch a boog trim along a perfectly good wave for 40seconds.
