Watch: Sydney Goes Off Its Head On The Biggest Swell In 5 Years!

Australian Law declares that for the next 12 months, Chris Loughler should receive free pints and parmies from Hotel Steyne, Manly’s most hallowed pub. 

On what many are calling the biggest swell since 2016, Chris dominated the session at Sydney’s tallest rock conjunction, Deadman’s—which is to say he made two legitimate tubes and only got contorted by 80% of his waves (as opposed to the group average of 97%).

In the video above, we see the session-heard-’round-the-world shot from waaaay down the line, which gives a unique, almost intimate perspective of what goes on inside of Deadman’s large and irregular caverns.  

In the video below, we see the wave from straight-on, which is perhaps even more terrifying. 

Any way you cut it, it’s sit-up-in-your-bed viewing. Enjoy!
