The Superbank may get most of the glory when it comes to drop-in videos, but let’s not forget the rest of Australia’s east coast. A new video from Surf Today’s YouTube channel gives us a drone’s-eye view of the quick reflexes needed to avoid a collision at Byron Bay.
Australia’s east coast breaks present the rare situation in which one has to work desperately hard to not kill a person. The surfers shown in this video have high-effort pacifism down to a science, as they manage to duck and weave an average of 50,000 incoming surfers per second on each ride.
This action’s taken about an hour south of the Gold Coast, so Occy-watch is not in effect. However, there’s no way of knowing he’s not lurking beneath the surface somewhere, biding his time to strike.
