LENNOX Head firing for the locals during the peak of the Tasman Sea swell and not a pro in sight.

Lennox Head in New South Wales was reportedly 'discovered' by two Kiwis in 1962, the same year Australia entered the Vietnam war. At the time there was no real road and certainly no crowds. Now rightly, it's one of the Lucky Country's go-to spots. A ripper of a wave, standing-up and throwing-out for 500m down its pressing rocky headland.

Also it's one of the last spots on the coast that really picked up a decent southerly wedge of the Tasman Sea super swell. Greg spent four hours filming here and after he'd banked the reel needed, suited up just as a 20mph onshore came through and ripped it to shreds.

Don't be fooled guys! Lennox is always rammed with people who want to tick it of their list and this day was no exception, I sat this one out with the flu but watched from the cliffs for a while, the swell was good but a lot of people got dropped in on this day!, I would estimate 7 out of 10 of the guys I saw ride waves out had smoked someone to get on the wave.

Loved the wave at 1.40, guy slows down to let his buddies duck the wave and it lines him up perfectly for the barrel. First song I have liked on a video for a while!
