Manly Aussie Surfing Open - Parko Manly Aussie Surfing Open - Parko No. 29178

Manly 17th February 2012

Manly is the place to be today. Not only does it have the only surfable wave in NSW (1-2ft), the Australian Open of Surfing is on and heating up. Some big names paddling out today, you can watch it live here. The setup is amazing with a huge skate bowl imported from the U.S., a enormous stadium on the sand and stage for tonight’s free concert (Sneaky are playing tonight). Bondi’s Perth Standlick will be surfing against Taj Burrow in heat 12 today (of round 48).

If you’re heading over to Manly this weekend watching pro surfing, visit our little mate Julian at Surfection Mosman on Military Road. He’s having a wetsuit sale, big one.

Also, congratulations Justin Bevan of Sydney, you won our 7 day Turtle Bay Resort package…yes buddy, you’re going to the North Shore of Hawaii for 7 days!

      Hi Andy, I think you’ve logged onto the wrong website. Aquabumps is about waves, beach and surfing.

  • W said |

    I think he means more photos of the women on the beach

  • James said |

    I’m with Andy and W. Can we see some more poontang in the shots please!

  • Dovi said |

    if you want “poontang” go take your own camera and take your own pics

  • Cornelia said |

    HEEEY! Good to see a Floridian representing on Aquabumps!

    Florida has a lot of good surfers for the crappy waves we get. This year has Been TERRIBLE because of La Nina. Nothing but windchop all winter long. There were only a couple of days of decent groundswell.

    Did joel wipe out on 29181? If he did I reckon he could beat Kelly Slater.
