Pipe 16 Mar '11 (Rory)![]() Could be a tough one to stick...
And what would a day be without a Pipe gallery!? Rory got some nice shots of what was left of the swell by the afternoon. Make no mistake, still plenty of waves, but nowhere near the monsters that rolled through in the morning. Check em out here.

Millers 16 Mar '11![]() Lekker day to be in the water
Millers at midday was chaos. 30 ou's in the water, half of whom I've never seen in my life before. Instead of braving the madness I opted to swim out with the GoPro instead, far more fun. Just a beaut day to be in the water. Check out the shots here.

Clubhouse 16 Mar '11![]() Jason making a run for it
And finally we get some good waves in the bay. Most peeps are already a bit surfed out from the last 2 days, but luckily the wind held out this morning & the swell filled in. Clubhouse offered up double overhead sets to those who wanted.
|
Avo's 16 Mar '11 (am)![]() Bradley testing out his new board
After Clubhouse dropped off I walked back down to Avo's. Not really firing, but still some good waves for the guys out there. Nigel, Bradley & Donovan were stoked to be getting waves with hardly anyone else around. Check out the shots here.
|
Avo's 16 Mar '11 (Dirk)![]() Speed line at Avo's - Indie
Despite there being bogger all sand banks at Avo's, the swell was big enough to see it break in the head high plus range. Plenty ou's out there just stoked to surf it again, makes a change from Pipe! Check out Dirk's shots here.

Pipe 15 Mar '11 (Ang)![]() Mauro still styling, broken fingers n all
Tuesday arvie had some of the most tit conditions you could imagine. Lekker waves and perfect light offshores making for smooth clean faces. Add to that water warm enough to trunk it. What's not to like? Check out Ang's here.
|
Pipe 14 Mar '11 (Ang)![]() Galad hacking in to a clean face
Coupla rideable one's came through at Pipe Monday arvie, just so the ou's could start warming up for the lekker swells on Tues and Wed. Let's hope the banks hold out for a little while longer. Check out the shots.

Pipe 12 March '11 (Dirk)![]() Jacques on a smoker
Saturday was the berries - good waves all over. The ou's were ripping. Dirk got some shots from the beach, then swam out to try his new water housing - and realising he's lekker unfit. Check out all the shots here.
|
Pipe 11 Mar '11 (Luc)![]() Kung fu turn
Luc was also donw at Pipe on Friday arvie, enjoying the unusual combination of decent weather, offshore winds, and some swell. Something we haven't been getting too often. He got some good shots with his monster lens. Check em out.

Pipe 11 Mar '11 (Dirk)![]() Best way to spend a Friday arvie
The first signs of swell started to trickle through late arvie. Fun walls and super clean conditions - good way to wash the week outta your hair. Check out the cool shots from Dirk. Some more evidence of alien sightings -
I mean Warri surfing.... |
Pipe 6 Mar '11 (Ang)![]() Little wave, big slash
Small day, but perfect conditions saw an "anything that floats" circus go down at Pipe, from kook to punter trying to find a wave without having to dodge a bunch of ou's. Oh well, keeps things interesting! Check out the shots here.
|
Pipe 2 March '11 (Jono)![]() How's this for a buried rail!
First gallery of March. Let's hold thumbs March delivers more than Feb. Shouldn't be hard to do based on how kak Feb was! Check out Jonathan's shots of the ou's ripping small Pipe. Bruce was the surfer of the session.
|
Pipe 11 Mar '11 (Josh)![]() Dylan Lightfoot thinking he's at Supers, kind of!
Josh opted for the lens instead of the board on Friday arvie, and shot us some pic's instead of getting wet himself. JBay local Dylan Lightfoot was out there showing the bay boys what the buiterlanders could get up to. Check the shots here.
|
Pipe 7 Mar '11 (Rory)![]() Chaim on his magic carpet
Monday was even smaller than Sunday, but was still hot as - which meant the ou's were keen to get wet no matter what. The usual suspects were out patrolling the Pipe line-up, and Rory snapped the action. Check out his shots here.
