Surfing History: Big Tuesday – 23rd Feb 1999

From the Coastwatch Vault this story shot on Tuesday 23rd February 1999, featured the biggest swell of the summer of 98/99, which was coming off a slow moving low off the southern Qld coast, the remnants of TC Frank. It features Jay Phillips, Sam Lamaroy, Sasha Stocker and a Joel Parkinson stand up tube ride at Duranbah, which “Parko” still remembers to this day and reckons it’s the best wave he’s ridden at D’Bah.
