Far from a secret, this spot in Queensland is well known for delivering quality peaks. Photographer Andy Potts was not the only shooter on hand when it fired up recently, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive – especially when it’s on like this. With a large litter of water photographers on hand to document proceedings tube hounds Mick Fanning and Dean Morrison put on a show.
As did the army of hungry surfers already taking turns burying themselves inside the watery wombs.
Makes for one hell of a show.
