Big Wave Sailing X Surfing on a Hobie Cat 14 | Jervis Bay, Australia

Описание: Last week, the east coast was lit up with over 6-metre waves hitting the coastline from the south-east. And with over 30+ knots of wind blowing along with it, there was only one craft that was up for the task … the humble Hobie 14.
However, there were only two boys mad enough to take their boats out: Andrew Spinelli and Paddy Butler.
Only in the largest and deadliest bayswell does the Bombie (or now hypothesised sandbank) work to this level of perfection. There wasn’t a chance that the boys would’ve missed it. With many, many spectators on the shore watching with excitement, Tuesday 1st April 2025 is etched in history.
Paddy managed to sneak the @gopro #hero11 on the forestay, whilst Courtney and MB were on shore with the midrange #canon camera.
We’d love to put all the photos out there at once, but the excessive decision was made to drop feed this content until the next bayswell (whenever that will be!).
Shoutout to @redbullau for fuelling these two boys,
@vaikobi for keeping Paddy afloat in the washing machine, @hobieasiapacific for there ongoing assistance as always and @jervisbaybrewing_co for fuelling the boys once again post-surfing.
The @hobieeyewear polarised floatable sunnies were doing the job until the huge wipeout that almost took Cheeki and Paddy to the depths of the Moona moona. But @gogginsgoggles would’ve been perfect with the integrated back-strap, they would’ve stayed on.
