[PT-New South Wales / Sydney (North Narrabeen)] 
© 2009 - Willbaileymedia.com
I think the clouds give the shot a bit more dimension. It was taken at North Narrabeen in mid February 2009. Sydney had been suffering - flat for 6 weeks. Then this: I was told it was the best Narrabeen has been in years, 6-8ft grinding
kegs. In the morning it was huge, cloudy and raining. Zahn Foxton and a few people were towing at low tide, but as the tide came up it got a bit more manageable and the sun came out. There were a solid group of surfers out: Barton Lynch, Ozzy Wright, Matt Capel, Kye Fitzgerald. This wave of Kye's was mental, he had pulled into it right outside and I didn't think he'd make it to where I was shooting on the inside, lucky for me he did and the sequence turned out sick! Kye was riding a 6'10 single fin shaped by his dad, the 70's legend Terry Fitzgerald. There had been a load of shark attacks around Sydney during this time, and as much as I tell myself that its safe and no sharks will bother me, I always feel a bit anxious. Anyway, about half way through this session I took about three sets waves on the head, I was getting smashed around and something grabbed the back of my shorts and started pulling me down. I shat myself and thought my number's up here - it turned out to be a surfer who was panicking and just needed a bit of help! Will Bailey
