Peak winter swell, offshore winds and SW swell direction.
All of the elements have aligned to set us up for one of the best days we could ask for.
Standing in the car park and seeing the sets roll in made it very difficult to build up the courage to swim out with only my camera. But I was determined to head out and give it a go.
The waves were unpredictable and made it hard to find the right spot to be in to get the best shots.
My camera was giving me a hard time, the memory card I was using was a bit too slow to keep up with the writing speed.
I was nervous so I also forgot to wipe the Go Pro lens clean after each wave.
However, it was a successful swim and I managed to get a few magical moments caught on camera.
Riders are Ricky Basnett, Andre Botha, Scott Venter, Taylor Hickman and Josh Early
