POV Crowded Snapper Drop Ins

Super raw 1 hour surf out at Snapper Rocks with my buddy Korbin. We had the idea of doing follow cams and filming each other with the GoPro. Being Snapper in the afternoon it was very busy with surfers which made it a challenge trying to pull this off but we will give it another go in the near future. Here's our view of what a surf at Snapper is like!

[@anguscameron561]

they drop in, realise it and just keep going. sux

[@c.dasilva123]

Aloha from Hawai’i. This was my favorite surf video this week. Excellent camera work. I am so stoked to see just pure good surfing with no music or graphics …that captures what surfing actually feels like.. Love that you captured your friends and were helping create that stoke for them. They must be so stoked of the shots and owe you a beer or two at least!. More please. 🤙🏽

[@sheldonsimkus]

Cheers, appreciate the message. Plenty more videos to come this year!

[@yuushamenma2130]

I love this POV, it’s so much more useful to learn from this angle as I can actually contextualize what the sections are doing more and where/when they’re drawing power for the turns

[@sheldonsimkus]

I agree, it’s a cool angle

[@RobMachadoo]

That dude also drops in on me all the time

[@vls3771]

He needs to be taught a lesson ..

[@jesussaves33]

He needs to quit surfing! No respect for the lineup.

[@Gosurfdammit]

Give him a poes klap

[@Tkxking5]

You go to tell him to piss off

[@NathsHim]

that transition form the drop in to the follow cam didnt go unnoticed ;)

[@sheldonsimkus]

I’m proud of myself with that transition

[@NathsHim]

@@sheldonsimkus 😂🤝 I was like oh shit he’s doin things now 😂

[@relaxs2167]

what time stamp?

[@wavester46]

The only time the Super Bank is worth surfing for me these days is when a cyclone swell hits and creates a fast sweep down to Kirra. At least I'll get a wave lol.

[@TaranakiGreenfields]

So good! Epic shots follow Korbin. He's ripping. That poor wave LOLOLOLOLO

[@sheldonsimkus]

Thanks, we had some good laughs filming

[@karlwalters3763]

I remember when snappers had a tenth of these crowds. That's the problem when a sport that's on the outside becomes the 'in thing'. Same thing with most of QLD thesedays, unfortunately.

[@jayveevee15]

this is so fun to watch, it's an interesting way of getting the notion of how fast u gotta be to make the turns

[@sheldonsimkus]

I like it too. Will try do another one in the future, cool perspective

[@NeilJR]

Am glad I surfed this spot early to mid 60s. No real log jam then.

[@sheldonsimkus]

Would have been incredible then I’m sure!

[@isaacboulton3988]

Locals mustn’t have liked your affection for Burleigh in that Jim beam ad 😂

[@sheldonsimkus]

Hahahaha!

[@marckindl1071]

More of this PoVs mate, absolutely mental clips!

[@sheldonsimkus]

Thanks! more coming this year

[@tzt1182]

Nice job with the groms!

[@sheldonsimkus]

Groms are the future!

[@smokey_doss8046]

I miss the crowded line up of snapper to greenmount

[@CliffsofHope]

that guy surfs good!! :) nice video..

[@davidwarren4569]

A lot of dropsin and jetsam out there.

[@whiteunicornDR659]

I find people drop in less when they’re tyres continue to get slashed 😊

[@pablovirus]

Ah yes, vandalism, hope you feel proud about that.

[@JarvisJiri1998]

You QLDers can keep that, I’ll keep enjoying my uncrowded pumping waves

[@rockade2408]

send me location

[@sheldonsimkus]

Uncrowded pumping waves sounds to good to be true

[@AlchemyMelbourne]

great footage!

[@sheldonsimkus]

Thank you!

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Bloody Sea of Wax Heads!

[@sheldonsimkus]

That’s it

[@mackash]

Far out Goldy sucks. Its just not worth even bothering with. Tiny waves, tiny people.

[@daviddeck8509]

This shit doesn’t happen here in Margaret River

[@vls3771]

Whats with that same guy dropping in every wave??

[@jonobrien94]

That’s his mate at the start

[@sheldonsimkus]

My buddy and I were taking turns filming each other, few other surfers joined me on a few waves throughout also.

[@rockade2408]

fark that is so cool, u make that rock jump look so easy, id freaky out and gate ruined

[@sheldonsimkus]

Cheers mate. Haha yeah, it’s easy but it can get tricky sometimes.

[@BFKDee]

legends!!

[@CainanParker]

🤙🏼

[@BrodyMulik]

🔥🔥

[@scotchy88]

Sick 🤙🏼

[@Satorisails77]

So many humans

[@sebastian_surfs2-mw9qt]

i saw myself in that video

[@antonibertolacci7030]

Dropping in ? 😂

[@nonombre8589]

The amount of goddamn people in the water... it just looks miserable

[@sheldonsimkus]

It’s busy, but still plenty to enjoy about it.

[@denisthemenace.]

Crowds, just ruined it. The Gold Coast is fkd

[@OlafGodredsson]

Yeah nah

[@5TA1KR]

fucking rippers mate! :D

[@tubethis777]

Awful place to surf, what a headache

[@TheDruzza]

name and shame

[@sheldonsimkus]

Haha a lot of those drop ins are friends I’ve surfed with for years

[@TheDruzza]

@@sheldonsimkus then they not really drop ins coz they know you.

[@aussiedownunder4186]

Seriously this is a Fucked break!! I have had it 10 times better and bigger than this on the South coast of NSW! With only 8 guys out. QLD Is too crowded and full of egos!! Full Stop!!!

[@graydonromcke326]

In no way do I want to detract from the excellent POV in this session, but omg, the blatant, deliberate drop ins are just embarrassing. Just because you think you're a better surfer, or you deserve this wave more, it gives you no right to drop in someone else. Sure it can happen by mistake, but then you kick out. Not the case here unfortunately. It's just sad.

[@josephpablo8305]

Guess u won’t get a wave here. It’s changed . Can’t be nice anymore . Just gotta join in
