It is a glorious day and it seems like the whole of the Gold Coast has got in the water at the south end of Rainbow Beach, which is known as Snapper Rocks.
Neil and I find a parking space in the car park on the Greenmount headland at the north end of the bay, and from there you can see why so many people were in the water here.
Snapper Rocks is one of the stops on the ASP world tour, and watching the glorious waves break right across the bay and then around the Greenmount headland you can see why.
It is particularly busy in the water because it is a Saturday and the whole surfing world wants to be in getting wet at the weekend. As a consequence I decide to leave that break for a mid week session and then paddle out next to the headland to have a crack at the waves that you can surf around into Greenmount Bay in front of the town of Coolangatta.
Even at this, the smaller end of the break, the waves were epic and under the scorching sun you can see that my camera was getting fogged up in the heat whilst I was having so much fun.
There was a good vibe in the water and I had a blast. I have consecutive pictures showing me riding one wave for nearly a minute of which this is one, but there is only so much looking at my shins that I think you want to do so I will save the rest just for myself.
