[PT-2 of 9: Lipping]


© 2009 - Calum Macauley/Oneill



I had been out for six hours before I got this wave said Mark Mathews. It had been really slow all day and I hadn’t had any good ones yet. Then this mountain came roaring out from the horizon I got tingles (goose bumps) all over as soon as I saw it. I looked up at Hippo (Ryan Hipwood) who was on the jet ski and he didn’t even smile he just said, "this thing's huge."

What does it matter if your local if you will probably shit your pants just looking at something like that from a mile away? I got shit scared just looking at the photo's! And don't any of you try and tell me you weren't feeling the exact same way while you looked at this sequence!

Airboy's just jealous cos he can't and won't ever do what this guys done. Stick with the footy, golf and girls volleyball - the latter sounds like your true calling mate.

just cant begin to imagine the kind of courage this takes - no 7 looks incredible. Something to always be proud of - Amazing!
Matt Wright146 days ago Reply
Madness, sick, so glad you made it. Ugly, nasty looking conditions too. Additionally, I like the attitude between Mark, Mitch and presumably the rest of the crew out there - mutual respect, and deservedly so.

Balls of steel brother!
jrat146 days ago Reply
fuckin nuts! so sick. imagine if Mitch had gone and the shot had both of em in there, that'd be mental. Leaves me wondering tho, if Mitch had taken this wave solo, would it get the same coverage? I've seen shots of Brad Hughes and Mitch at this spot that i'd say were bigger and meaner....but no coverage....take nothing away from Mark Matthews tho, crazy mother licker!

Mate we'd be stoked to run bodyboard shots of a wave like this so anyone wanting coverage just give us a shout...

Utterly incredible. I'm speechless - awe inspring photographs and a brilliant description/explanation - thank you fellas for sharing this wish us all!
spongefreak146 days ago Reply
Absolute respect, that's an awesome wave. I can't believe someone rated it less than 5, perhaps they could share with us the reason why?
The Kookoo146 days ago Reply
Maybe they wanted to sun shining, and the water to be the colour of the carribean ocean, and they wanted TWO surfers sharing the wave and a small umbrella that you get with an expensive cocktail...

Big respect - balls of steel to ride that thick chunk!
