Irons, Parkinson, etc. go nuts at Shipsterns bluff in Tasmania.....the wipeout section is horrifying.

(for those that dont know, this place is at the bottom of the world in freezing cold water, white sharks everywhere, and waves that are boarderline suicidal)

I went surfing in NE AUS recently and never saw one shark...I was paranoid about it the whole time. But...I wasn't that far out, as it's been many years since I last surfed....man do I suck at it now! LOL

---When Dean Morrison surfed there a few years back, he said it was one of the heaviest waves he'd ever rode. Thing is...it's only accessible by power raft, no jet-ski rescue available, super cold water, shallow rock reef, & yes sharks. The wave itself, has this ledge that forms on the face, from a dip in the reef, just as you're setting up for the tube. If you don't make it...you're toast!!
