The wave pool itself is a great set up but not really for the serious surfer, more for beginners and waders.
The ankle to knee high waves are perfect for the ‘first time ever surfer’ to get a feel of what a wave will feel like underneath his feet and a surfboard.
It also takes out the unpredictability factor of the ocean.
If you’re interested in having a go at surfing, but are bit worried about giving it your first go in the ocean, then these lessons are for you.
It’s perfect for building confidence before having a go on an ocean wave.
And it’s definitely a hoot!!
We said our goodbyes to the Get Wet crew and were snuck through a back gate into Dream World where we had the Flow Rider booked for an hour.
Sam and Stacey had a go and went ok, having more wipe outs than success, but both declared ‘Its way different from Surfing and more difficult than you think.’

A young lady named Renee, who worked there, gave the girls a few quick lessons and tips.
And after that she laid down some huge moves that blew everyone away. I would love to see how she goes on a wave because I can tell you she absolutely rips the bag out of that Flow Rider!!!!

After a quick bite to eat we headed down to Snapper Rocks to try and get some surfing footage. But the summer crowd was already maxed out and the waves were tiny so we went for the better option of Duranbah.
The waves were average but I stilled scored a nice sequence of Sam’s round house cutback and re-entry off the white water
Over all it was a great day and I scored hundreds of great photos.
I’ve picked a few out and posted them here in this gallery below.
Enjoy

Samantha Cornish originally from Crescent Head but now living on the Gold Coast had a reasonable year finishing 6th.
Sam has been around on tour from a very young age. Unfortunately for her, in 2008 she always seemed to be right on the edge of cracking a win. She’s always a threat in any comp and will be for a long time yet. Good luck in ‘09 Sam
Check out the cool short video of Stephanie Gilmour Free Surfing from Rip Curl below.

Steph has obviously dominated in the women’s Tour in 2008.

But when it comes to the men’s tour, consider this; Five out of forty five of the surfers on the Men’s ASP world Tour are from the Southern Gold Coast and surf the Super Bank whenever they’re at home and its breaking.
Here they are in the order they are seeded in 2009.

2. Bede Durbidge: Bede is actually from the small community of North Stradbroke Island (where he is afforded Godly Status) but has been based on the Southern Goldie for a few years now.
Since being dropped by his former sponsor Billabong, Bede has hit his straps and had a great year in 08 finishing second to Kelly.
He sums up his year in this quote.
“If somebody had said to me on January 1 this year that I would finish the year having jumped from No. 5  to No. 2 plus pick up a CT contest win along the way, I’d have gone: ‘I’ll take that’. That’s how 2008 has ended for me and I’m stoked with how the year has gone “ You can read more of what Bede has to say here.

4. Joel Parkinson; Parko’s manner, character, personality or whatever you’d like to call it seems to be the equivalent of his competitive surfing career…. He makes it look easy and just cruises through the whole thing; but in reality, when you look closely, on a wave and in competition in general, he’s going places that  very few have been before him………….. and more often than not, pulling it off with style.
Joel Had a great year especially in Hawaii where he took out the Triple Crown and scored a record breaking perfect 20 in his heat in the Pipe Masters. He’s fired up and itching to go in 2009
Here’s what he has to say in ‘Surfing’ magazine.
Check out Joel’s two perfect 10′s in the vid below.

8. Mick Fanning. What can you say about Mick? That hasn’t already been said. An amazing surfer with more speed on a wave than anyone, good bloke, love’s a beer and oh yeah … Champion of the world in 2007!!.
Some may think that dropping from one to eight ………Mick didn’t have the hunger for competition in 2008. But who knows what would have happened if he hadn’t missed Mundaca and Brazil through injury??. He’s still firmly entrenched in the top ten and will be doing his best to remain a contender in 2009.

28. Dean Morrisson. Poor old Dingo, the perennial underdog! He had a shocker in 2008. He was plagued with injury, had surgery and a boating mishap that was lucky not to end in tragedy. He will be back in 2009 on the WCT courtesy of one of the few injury wildcards.

45. Josh Kerr. The air specialist Kerrsy was touted as having made big predictions about his first year on tour in 2007, but then didn’t make the cut for the WCTin 2008. Humbled but even more determined, Josh surfed like a man possessed in the WQS to get his place back in the top level for 2009.
I got a few shots of Josh a at Snapper before he left for Hawaii, and I swear, he had that same look in his eye that I saw in Mick Fanning at the Quiky Pro in  2007. He’s definitely one to watch in 2009. He’s learnt from his mistakes and is now ready to make his mark. If I was a gambling man, my money would be on him. I’m tipping him to move way up the ranks this year.

2009 is shaping up to be an incredible year in Coolangatta, these guys on the tour are only the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens of talented local grommets that are waiting in the wings hoping to fill the shoes of these guys.
Good luck to everyone from the anyone competing in anything this year.
Happy new year and all that suff as well…….
At the least….It’s going to be an interesting year

I love this shot above. It really shows what goes on behind the rock and you can see the wave sucking out while the guys in the barrel and the previous wave is just hitting the rocks getting ready to rebound and smash into the wave with the surfer behind it. You can purchase a copy of this shot from my shop click here

Jarrah Tutton seq-4

Jarrah Tutton almost took my head off with the sequence above … I think I’ll have to start wearing my Gath helmet.

Check out more of the photos from the session below

The waves were fat and getting fatter with the incoming tide…so it was a bit of a shocker . I still managed to get a few interesting shots check them out below.

Aquatic Blue Charters boat the ‘Whale Watcher’ from Tweed Heads was out amongst the action again and Tony (the skipper) used his wealth of experience to get some great angles for us to view the incredible show of at least 5-6 pods of whales breaching and playing ……….

check these great shots from the day

Tony and Carol Hunt of Aqautic Blue Charters are old hands at the ‘whale watching’ Experience, having worked out of Port Macqaurie for many years.

With there new boat the ‘Whale Watcher’ now based out of Tweed Heads on the Southern Gold Coast, Tony and Carol are bringing people closer to those magnificent animals of the Ocean………………The Humpback whales.

I was lucky enough to go along on one of their charters recently and scored some great shots.

In fact a few days at the very beginning of the month were all-time .
I photographed Mick Fanning get a sixteen second tube one morning, There were plenty of video cameras on the beach, so no doubt you’ll see it in upcoming releases.

I myself scored many classic photos and here are few of them fo you to check out.
