Big Swell

I went down to Lorne for the weekend, and was treated to massive swell! These shots are from Cathedral Rock. These shots don't really do it justice (while it is hip and cool, I haven't figured out how to make the best use of my iPhone Hipstamatic App) ...but the waves were huge and the hard core locals were out for some big rides. (They are the little black dots in the bottom left hand of the frame!)

The car park banter was highly entertaining, and as each new set came in, bigger and bigger, iPhones and cameras came out. All in good nature, the car park guys hung shit on those battling to get out back and avoid copping a mighty wave crashing on their heads.
Salty surf dogs compared this swell with another big one...back in '86.
