'86 - Doesn't seem like 20 years since that epic day, snow down to the waters edge & outside outsides peeling all the way the through (still reckon it's a weird name, probably renamed by now??). Me, Taff, Dooba, Deano & Incubator had it to ourselves, I remember popping out of an epic barrel in front of the legendary Herman Tyson (he was God). I remember seeing Dooba slotted deep with pebbles being sucked up in the lip & the weird noise that barrel made full of rocks. I remember paddling into a big one with Taff straight in front & we went over the falls with him sandwiched between our boards. After hyperthermia set in i remember sitting on the point watching people getting severely beaten attempting to enter/exit the water at the wrong time. When things are that good ya never forget.....
