How cool is this?

This is off the beach where I live. Apparently the only ones in the surf were ex-surfing champions (like Kelly Slater - the US champion pictured above) who were in town for a surfing competition.

Too bad the surfing competition was being held at Bell's Beach and not Manly (as shown above). Bell's Beach was flat as a pancake.... surfing comp was cancelled... Good thing seeing as most of the surfers stayed in Manly to surf the storm waves...
