    'Usually the wave never steps out or goes evil like that one, but it just went dry - the hardest wave I've ever had to surf.

    'I went straight over the lip and did about 10 backflips and then pulled a muscle in my shoulder.

    Psssh. Measured Hawaiian style that would be something like -8 feet. That's not even a wave.

    Nasty Nasty wave, ultra thick and dirty
    You're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?

    I know where that wave is, I surf the area regularly (no, it's not shipsterns). There's actually quite a few waves similar around it, so anyone keen to come over for a surf shoot me a PM, I'll take photos from the boat

    West OZ, offshore reef. Not Shipsterns, that's Tasmania, a longer wave but just as sick in its own way.
