South East Queensland has yet to recieve a good battering of cyclone swells this season. Instead the Goldy crew have been tormented by easterly winds that have ruffled any swell that has been in the three to four foot range this past week. Expectations are high this time of year and after a well-earned break the pros are back in the water and preparing for the Quiky Pro.
Photographer Simon Williams has been battling the elements and recently caught this session with Joel Parkinson on a windblown day at Snapper.
