Shippies rumbling ... Arrival now survival© 2009 - TheCollective
 



THE rumble from down south could be heard on the night of August 1 as solid sets came crashing into the South Arm beaches. Write TheCollective. We all hoped for an epic day when we boarded Polly’s boat for the quick 40 minute trip to Stern and wow were our hopes fulfilled. On first inspection of the line-up we could clearly see it was the biggest day of the year so far. Bomb sets could be seen way out the back as dark scary lines swung in from the west - triple sucking on takeoff - the only option was to tow these donk barrels. All the Tassie crew were instantly all over it. The Hollmers, Brennan and Paradisis all nailed mega pits. Even unheralded surfers such as James McKeen, Danny Griffth, Brook Phillips and Zac Gray scored some solid barrels. Wave heights at times were in the 15 foot range - you felt it when they hit you.

And the air temp is about 6'C (or less). You've got to remember, this place is only a couple of hundred K's from Antarctica.
