Surfing Shipstern Bluff March 2006 Video

Shipstern Bluff went off this month evidently:

With swells reaching 5m (15-18ft), a group of big wave adventurers including three times world champion Andy Irons (Haw), former world number two Joel Parkinson (Coolangatta), young Australian charger Laurie Towner (Angourie), Dylan Longbottom (Gold Coast) and Brendan Margieson (Gold Coast) towed and paddled into heaving caverns at Shipsterns Bluff, a rarely surfed isolated right hander named after the 100ft cliff which towers over the break.

The monumental session is set to cause a major shake up for current contenders in both the Monster Tube and Monster Paddle in categories for the Billabong XXL awards which will be announced on the 14th of April in California. With entries coming primarily from huge surf ridden in Hawaii, Mexico, California and Tahiti, Australia will now be represented solidly after the session was captured on land and in the water by video and stills cameramen.

If you're never heard of Shipstern, here's a good article. Here's a clip of the Billibong video via Surfline on the next page after the jump. Click the link below.

Dudes, post a link to this BS but don't make it load every fuckin time!!! It downloads when I first go to the page even though I ain't gonna watch it. It downloads when I read comments and then return to the page. And it's just surfing, after all, a dying sport. Lay down the bong and fix your web site so it's friendly and maybe a few more folks besides your Mom might visit.

UF, are you still on a dial-up? Holy f%$k. Talk about a retro-grouch. Tell you what, come write for GoBlog and I'm sure they'll pay for your DSL. You spend enough time posting comments, you may as well blog on the site and get your DSL paid for. Deal?

O.K., videos were moved to after the jump. Was it both the YouTube and VideoEgg? Or just VideoEgg?
