" hahahahaha ...WIPEOUT ! "

[ ...sorry that  I don't know how to attach the famous music , too !]

 

" and , now , IT'S " ...[insert Monty Python's Flying Circus music , here ]....

 

  continuing the aussie tradition of 'warts and all' ..... showing surfing as it REALLY is ! .....

 

... a photo thread ! ...

 

 here ya go , crew ,  I'll start the ..er...' bail '  rolling !

[there's just nothing quite like a decent drubbing , first thing in the morning , to clear the sinuses and wake us up , eh ?!  :)  Even a small wave like this can still slap me around fairly well  ]

So....

human cannonballs

rocket launchers

lobster dives

buried noses

caught rails

lip pitchings

caught-inside floggings

kooks burning people

board bails

[....did I forget any ??]

 

  ...please , post them ....here .... " IF " you dare ?!

 

If for no other reason than to give 'Surffoils' a new avitar ! 

 

[and us , a laugh , maybe ?!   it's funny , when it's not US being flogged ! ]

 

  And , if you're not too happy letting the world see ya "eating it" ?

 

 Well , then ...

 

 ?  maybe you could post some shots of your mates / 'buds' , instead ?

 

  yeehaa

 

" DOWN  we go ! "

 

  cheers !

 

  ben

 

p.s. -

 "thanks" for these shots , Simon ? [a slight pity that there wasn't the previous four or so shots , too , eh ?  that was one FAAAST [non-made , obviously] drop .....]

Looks like me most of the time. Love it!

You forgot one:

Face Plant!

Did you survive?

Haha!!! We’ve all been there. Looked like a fun little wave too.

hahahaha deepc -  face plant was the first thing that came to my mind when i saw the pics

hilarious, thanks for putting that up.

...no worries, Greg !

 

  good to make someone laugh [it's ALWAYS funny when it happens to someone ELSE ,  eh ?!]

as Groucho Marx apparently said [on his deathbed] ..." always leave them LAUGHING !"

 

" And , now "...

 

 Here's the "superman' / human canonball , on rowan's foam board [photo by him...used as 'surffoils' avitar]

 

....this one was a belly buster / faceplant combo manouevre ... " degree of difficulty .... zero " !

 

yep , that one WAS  the 'faceplant ' , for sure ...and , " the belly[less, in my case!] slap , wind you , and then get sucked back up and over , manouevre"

  ...like I said , though small waves , they can still knock the wind outta ya , sometimes , eh ?!

 

yes , fibreglassman , THAT'S why it was all the more frustrating !

 

  paddle into it , thinking ,

 

"great ! this will be a TUBE " [and,  my brother's on the beach with a camera , WHAT could possibly go WRONG ?! ha] 

 

 ACTUALLY ...ALL I woulda had to time to think on that one was probably "go ...go...uh,  oh !", as the bottom dropped out of it ?!

 I would have LOVED to have seen three or so PREVIOUS shots , or had FOOTAGE of that , so I could see just where I NEEDED to be , and what [besides the obvious!] went pear-shaped.

 

Then , it 'could' have maybe been a good photo sequence for the defunct 'surfing technique ' thread , and maybe the "floatation and rider' type threads, too ?

 

Well,  I am guessing that no-one ELSE is going to post shots of them wiping out on this thread ,

 

 ....but , like I say ,

 

  feel free to post ANY wipeout shots here ...

....maybe , if you're good with photoshop stuff [I'm CLUELESS  on that] , you could do the 'resinhead'  " make-your-head-disappear-type" treatment on the shot[s] , if for some reason you wish to remain anonymous [?!] ... but I can't imagine WHY that would be , though ?  :) ]

 

   cheers , and happy faceplants !

 

  ben

..... I always liked Martin Potter's quote [ from back in his World Pro Tour days ] ...

 

" if you can't have a good wave ...then , at least , have a good WIPEOUT ! "

 

the amount he WENT for it [early aerials , for example] meant that he certainly lived up to his ...er ....  'creed' !

 

:)

 

Ben ben ben, if only someone filmed me, i'd fill pages!!. I've considered being a wipeout coach haha.

hahaha

 

good on ya beery

 

maybe its more an aussie / kiwi / pom thing to boast about our beatings / publicly humiliate ourselves eh ? [it's what beer is FOR  , ain't it ? heheh]

 

come over here , and I'll film / photo you !

 

...your signature wouldn't be the SAME , without the last THREE WORDS ,  would it mate !

 

 

  I'll try a different wipeout every time , perhaps ?

 

...soon have a resume full to show prospective .....? ding / snap fixers ?

" but there's MORE ! "

 

from June 2011  .... again , this photo was taken by Simon !

 

the back slap / 'splat'  [on the 6'11" Ritchie West Bullett ]
