Some days…

February 07, 2014 | Words By:

Some days...…are Not Like All The Other Days. Supersaturated brings us this undiscovered fun spot. Go seek.


“We still had no idea what sort of wave it was, all we knew was that it was a left. You can’t find photos of this place on the internet, there is no 5 star MSW surf forecast urging you to go there, it was proper word of mouth stuff. It was always someone who knew someone else that surfed there once, never actually the guy you were talking too. I hardly need to point out that sort of thing just doesn’t happen in the internet age any more. I think that went some way to explaining the atmosphere that day, for no one was blaming anyone else for crowding it out, everyone was there was entitled to have a crack at it. No internet short cuts today.” – (Dom Moore. The Great Surf Pilgrimage, 2014)
