South Head Roughwater

Ben Buckler from the water

Me doing some tow-ins inside the heads. It was actually breaking about 3ft just around from Camp Cove

Huge day on the water on Sunday. Manned the IRB for a few of the tama lads doing the 13km Bondi to Watsons Bay Roughwater Swim. Sure was rough, the weekends swell was still hanging around adding some intensity to the swim. We set off on the IRB from Tama at 8am navigating the 5ft sets that were hammering the beach - eventually launching off the back of this monster getting some big airtime. Pre race was an amazing view, mid ocean just off Ben Buckler. About 100 craft filled the water from 30ft crusiers to support board paddlers.

It took the guys about 5hrs to do the swim - bloooody big effort. Hats off to them, couldnt imagine doing anything for 5 hours straight.
