The most talked about South swell so far this season, August 17th - 19th 2011... peaking at 4m @ 17sec, there was plenty of anticipation as to what kind of action would go down. G-Land Bobby's Surf Camp had many professional come stay at camp and surf in the G-Land Surf for this Launching Pad/Speedies swell. Here are the pictures taken by our resident surf photographer Dave Thomas. Please enjoy these pics of some of the world's top surfer's taking on some of the worlds best waves....
Mega Samadhi on a deep perfect Speedies bomb 1st day of the swell, 17th August
Eddy 'The Predator' Blackwell on a mutant 'lil' one at Speedies on the 17th
Daniel Vardy on an absolute screamer. He made this ridiculously deep Tube! This is on the 18th August
Big Wave charger Twiggy Baker snags a Speedies nugget
Young Koa Rothman impressed all with his tube riding skills
Big Brother Makua Rothman answers back to Koa by pulling into one of the biggest tubes of the swell! Makua was fearless, charging super hard
The next frame from Makua's sequence. I asked him why he set that wave up so deep.. he replied "It's all or Nothing right?"
There were still a few smaller less death defying tubes, between charging crazy tubes and snapping boards Mustafa Jeckson picked off some small pearlers
Moose on the Loose! Marti Paradisis gets a deep big Speedies bomb. Not quite like his local wave Shipsterns Bluff, but still solid!
Mega getting Mega-Deep!

Eddy's level of surfing was right up there with the best of them, and then some!
