The first week of October erupted in Western Australia, with a 20ft swell hitting the coast. Mark Visser and team met the swell in Cow Bombie and managed to jag a few fun ones.
The plan was to try out some of Mark’s new Webster paddle boards. Unfortunately the strong off-shore winds made it difficult to tow, let alone paddle in. Mark found himself on the receiving end many times, getting launched out of the water because he was riding a board that was too light heading into the wind.
Mark Visser was back in Fiji recently, along with an abundance of other big wave surfers to tackle some of the biggest surf to hit Cloud Break in three years. Predictions of 20ft swell was an understatement, creating some of the best big waves, tubes and wipeouts this year.
Early in the morning there were about 8 really large sets that hammered the outside reef, as the morning went on most of the crew came in and changed their tow boards for paddle boards.
