GNARLY WAVE DUDE!

Caught these guys surfing just south of Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Island.  They were a fair way out so I reckon I was lucky to get the shot.  We later saw them doing the same manoeuvre closer to shore while we were lunching on fresh prawns. We wondered briefly what the rest of the world was doing.  Pure bliss.

To me, this is an iconic view of Australia.  Golden sands bordering blue green seas, surf life savers, surfer board riders and swimmers enjoying a sunny day. Point Lookout again. Beautiful one day perfect the next.
