Lady at 2:56 had one of the best barrels I have ever seen. And I am a very old person who has watched way too many surf vids and clips. Mad respect for making all those sections.
Can't beat Kirra in the 90's. Bugs still owning multi-generational respect from everyone; Chappy flying; China being grumpy if he didn't make his 10 second barrel; Bruce Lee tripping out at anyone not local; and not to forget Margo being a dog and burning anyone he could. Kirra drained HARD, and at least there were no ski's burning everyone with tow-ins. Good to see the boys on ski's showing restraint in this vid too.
Don't live there or surf there, but it would appear that wind, tide, and swell came together for waves about as good as any surfer anywhere would want. Certainly EPIC. You lucky buggahs!
Good swell and it can still get good but you can’t compare it to the old Kirra before the sand pumping. Old Kirra came out of deeper water, hugged the point,doubled up draining below sea level and had a thicker lip and broke perfect the whole way. Now it breaks out wide because there is too much sand,has sections and is sweepy as. But that’s just my opinion.
@@aarms108 they almost completely destroyed the wave there's even been fund-raising groups called "bring back the old kirra" because of how iconic the old break was. It truly was lucky they didn't ruin it for good
Half the planet will be there tomorrow. For me the pre sand dredging days in the early 90's looked better. Below sea level barrels. This looks like another super bank, which is still insanely good. Awesome to see it breaking!.
Kirra point was way better before super bank! No matter how many of us signed petitions the still did it for the beach front apartments? Best memories of snorkelling along Kirra point on a high tide with clear visibility.. when surf was dead flat ! Rocks were submerged held fun for hours
Unless you witnessed every swell in the 70's, 80's, 90's and subsequent you have no right to make such a definitive claim! During many swells not only were there fuck all surfers, there was virtually no spectators and photographers, especially mid week.
there was only Richards and Occy back then, lol. ohh the good ole days of yore. erosion jetties? wtf for the little tourists no doubt flying on those carbon spewing jetliners in swarms to see the little surfer monkees zipping through a tiny section of the original Kirra, f'n gov agencies who want money from tourism, bastards. It was called Kirra for a reason, because it was literally KIRRA, just roll it as if the r's were L's and you get it..
He's just click-baiting mate with the title n trying to get more engagement in the comments to make some cash.... Decent waves no doubt, BUT early 90's cyclones were easily better again. Double overhead at a minimum in the peak of each cyclone, clean AF, no jetski pussies, paddle out or you don't get out... Cyclone Betsy from 92 - Burleigh, Kirra and The Alley where all cracking. Cyclone Dorian good, but not as perfect.
Awesome day up there with one of the good days but in the 70’s & 80’s I caught & seen sessions like this all the time minus the crowds but old Kirra before superbank was the best right point in the world Kelly Slater designed his wave pool off old Kirra 🤙🏻😎 love ya work & footage keep it up 👍🏻
Yes...1974 around...a month of swell from 3 to 6 foot. A tenth the crowd and better than the superbank setup these days. Including Snapper through Rainbow into Greenmount. I was living there as they moved the sand pumping pipe. Watched as the sand returned to Kirra. Epic waves. Enjoyed the clip guys cheers
Yep go back to early 70's always below sea level.anyone remember the peak in 72 where the 2nd groyne was to be built u talk about a good beachbreak it was there for two yrs
It’s a brilliant swell everything linking up perfect conditions perfect swell but not all time when you have paddled out at Kirra prior to the groin there were days I saw angles 😇😂 or maybe it was the Mushies any way there has been epic days forever
Some of the usage of slow-motion is not necessary (annoying) but otherwise i'd give this video, well i guess i give this video 9 / 10 points. Great video! 👌
Something the young bros would not have seen or surf was the left handed just a couple of degrees north of the Club house last time I had a few good left hand barrels there some time back probably around the early nineties earlier years sixties and seventies broke regularly n a the higher tide … goofy ❤️ my left handlers.
You need Rabbit in there and China as well... WTF happened to him anyways? I was out there surfing with China in 1995, we wagged school and had it to ourselves (pretty much), for hours, only about 4 foot, but still/.. Word got out, Work ended for folk, School's out... Session was pretty much over!
Yeah this is beautiful. World class waves 100%. Dream waves. But certainly not the best ever. Unbelievably, it did used to be better. Seen and surfed it bigger and better by a couple of feet at least..

Agree she was deep in the pocket for aages
You'd better believe it
I noticed that as well. Cudos.
Agree -- she's in there so long, I reckon she writes her autobiography, before popping out the other end.

Woman's ride beginning at 2:55, a perfect 20, mind blowing even for Kirra😍
A mate and I scored Kirra like this in 1976 so good! M.P. Was out there destroyed it,great memories.😃🇦🇺🍻

And the young Lady at 3 minutes in scores a 10 second barrel. !!!!

I don't see how this could be any better
@@popo-lr8gm Because you don't live on the GC.
it jackd out twice as wide as it was high back then in the early 90's
Too much sand? boo hoo. If only so cal governments had been as supportive of our beaches as your local leaders have been.

Perfect surf and awsome surfing skills. Thank you for the movie :)
2.56, This Chick Nails It 10/10 Well Done.
6.32, Old mate got Nailed 10/10 😂
6.54, 😂
Brilliant Footage, Captured Amazingly 🙏
Perfect tide, swell and what not.... One of the best Kirra sessions i've seen.

zipping through a tiny section of the original Kirra, f'n gov agencies who want money from tourism, bastards.

Wasn't making a Definitive claim at all, was only questioning as a good swell for its day

Reminds me of the swell in that section from 'Enjoy the Ride' back in the late 90's featuring a young Mick Fanning!
Awesome day up there with one of the good days but in the 70’s & 80’s I caught & seen sessions like this all the time minus the crowds but old Kirra before superbank was the best right point in the world Kelly Slater designed his wave pool off old Kirra 🤙🏻😎 love ya work & footage keep it up 👍🏻
I wish I could of been here back then , I seen some of the old footage and it looked insane . Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Exactly it was the best back then b4 the S .B was created & a lot of these guys would of still been in there nappys LOL.

How were you able to fly a drone so close to the airport?
epic.... looks like right handed skeleton bay
How’s the calibre of the surfers out there. Everyone a freaking pro
Are you kidding me?! 🔥 🤯
Awesome footage bro 💯🇦🇺🤙👍
Great for regular foot very tough goofy tac 🏄🏼♂️🏄🏼♂️🏄🏼♂️
Looks sick!! but old Kirra was way better before the council fkd it
insane killer footage! WOW!
Yep go back to early 70's always below sea level.anyone remember the peak in 72 where the 2nd groyne was to be built u talk about a good beachbreak it was there for two yrs

thanks for not putting a soundtrack over this. just the sound of the 🌊
If there were any soundtrack i would definitely skip the video
Some of the usage of slow-motion is not necessary (annoying) but otherwise i'd give this video, well i guess i give this video 9 / 10 points. Great video! 👌
Beautiful barrels and bowls and walls. You can keep the hassles. No body wants that shit. Time to find a time machine me thinks .
Nothing on old Kirra from cyclone Beti back in time to many days that make this look ordinary. Measure it by how deep you can get 😜
Insane! So hard to watch without getting fomo 😬
A perfect day.
Noosa was pumping too....no wait, it was flat..... again
This wave is frightening

Beautiful place in the world!????
Insane.
The days that you dream about right. RLTW 3/75
I thought it was OK but there's that 1 section we're the wasn't all the way in the barrel
"Pull in...Bwahhhh!...so pitted."
Epic POINT 🤩
Perfection
Never in my life have i seen large,long barrels
Such a savage beating ya get there when you are average shmaverage like me🤪
It's good but no not best Kirra.
That was many decades ago
It'd be like being able to sleep with Scarlett Johansson but there's five other guys in the same bed 😑
The point.
Well its the best fuckin footage of kirra in my opinion
99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/10
At least 100 surfers out.... means if you get one wave per hour you are good. Giving junkies a surf fix, this is how kirra works.
2:20 who was that
Josh Kerr maybe
Holy shit balls it’s like a wave pool 🤙🏽🏄🏽♀️🌊
Farrrk
And 8 Jet skis .......
over 60 guys fighting for waves, not best , Too many people.
You need Rabbit in there and China as well... WTF happened to him anyways? I was out there surfing with China in 1995, we wagged school and had it to ourselves (pretty much), for hours, only about 4 foot, but still/.. Word got out, Work ended for folk, School's out... Session was pretty much over!
72 swell was better 2 foot
That's ridiculous!
PRIMO!!!!
to small to be its " best ever"
Yeah this is beautiful. World class waves 100%. Dream waves. But certainly not the best ever. Unbelievably, it did used to be better. Seen and surfed it bigger and better by a couple of feet at least..
Not even close to old Kirra
ive had it better in 89
