Two Bodyboarders take on a Tricky Australian Slab

[@jeffminton2443]

Dude! When he rides it then pulls back up on the wave and does a barrel it really speaks to me. Good job guys if your reading your comments.

[@SF-wr4zn]

Such a tough wave to read, breaking all over the place and the swell pulling you back and forth.

[@shanebroekman9399]

Such a fun little day this one Nice filming 👍

UPDATE ON WILLY: I cannot personally be 100% sure and I live a long way away from Australia to empirically find out, but but I will share a little research I finished yesterday. For the past three months I've been trying to find out about Willy messaging just about everybody on FB, anyone, emailing the very Willy on his address, and anyone who might have met him or known him. A guy I found who actually appears on several of Willy's videos, a great local veteran bodyboarder, who knew him from seeing him around in and out of the water, replied to me after checking with other local bodyboarders and good buddies, and they all confirmed he passed away, some time after posting this video. The cause is unknown to me. I bet his family or anyone on Willy's side would have wanted to notify us all, but I thought everyone would like to know and send their prayers to him after what I found out. I always hoped to ask Willy to come to my Canary Islands for a vlog of his, he seemed like a scared kinda clumsy really bad LOL 😢bodyboarder but he always expelled a great vibe of humanity and good person aura that I will always remember and always was what kept me sticked to his videos through and through. I am dearly sorry to know this news and I am personally mourning him quietly and weirdly. He kinda leaves a vacuum in me, just for not being around alone. I send my deepest condolences to his family and prayers, and deep down I want to believe that this is not true, but I believe this fellow I talked to yesterday, he seems legit and I trust him. RIP WILLY 💓

[@gbsailing9436]

Voo Doo, We go diving there. Underneath the wave they are riding is a huge cave..I've been there heaps of times, even on my own and never seen sharks in the cave so, No sharks boys so never fear. They can be found further east however! LOL.

[@davidfuller764]

GB Sailing interesting! Cave you say

[@davidfuller764]

I believe

[@gbsailing9436]

@@davidfuller764 HUGE! if you just hope off your board for a bit and duck dive down you can't miss it, the roof is only 6ft underwater at low tide! There is a large trench that leads to the cave on the north side of the slab. But I typically circumnavigate the slab when I dive there. Far off to the east the bottom drops away with a big wall. That's where the sharks tend to frequent.
