  wave is called "ours" okes have been talking about it on wavescape for a while now.
  
  Saddly i beleive no boogers allowed as the bra boys are a seriously nasty bunch of okes.

  I'm pretty sure this is a spot which appears in a few videos,I think the first time I saw it was in NF 7,so that means bodyboarders have been riding it since at least 2004.Typical arrogant surfers,find a spot which we've been charging for a while rename it 'Ours' and try to claim exclusivety.Losers.

  In one of the Aussie surfer mags TRACKS they had a promo dvd my mate got hold of showing the bra-boys taking on the spot but admitting they had first seen it in bodyboarding vids and mags so yeah bodyboarders pioneered...

  Stoked,I thought Bodyboarders had ridden it first!
  Definitely wouldn't wanna mess with those Bra Boys though, Koby Abberton, the one B-Boy was recently cleared of a murder charge that him and his Brother were involved in, think they said it was "self-defence"???
  Also recently saw in an Aussie Surfer Mag, the stand-ups have been attempting to ride Cyclops! Maybe they need to chat to Whitey and the Boys for some tips!

  Wasn't Clops first ridden by the standup tow surfers?

  I have the surfer mag with the abberton feature... his boet tossed a drug dealer/local thug off a cliff... he was cleared, Koby was up for purgary as he lied to the pigs to protect his brother when the investigation initially started.
  
  The bra boys are kinda like the aussie version of PAGAD.

  I know that the stand-ups found cyclops,but I'm not sure if they rode it.At best maybe a bit of tow-in 'shoulder charging'.I remember seeing a lot of pics of it in surfing mags but none of guys actually riding it.
  
  I read the article in an earlier movement mag on the first crew of boogers who rode it,the tension crew,and they were saying how they had no joy trying to get any info about it from the surfers,so they went out and 're-discovered' it for themselves.Which is pretty lame,I mean I think that anyone willing to surf that place should be given the chance,it's not like a wave that heavy,in the middle of nowhere is going to be in any danger of getting crowded.

  There's a documentary on the Bra boys - to see the preview and read an interview, go to http://www.surfermag.com/magazine/archi ... onprofile/
  
  They're way too hardcore - read that as "thugs"...
  
  Here's a quote from Wikipedia that puts "Ours" in perspective:
  The group is a held together by community ties and surfing. The Bra Boys are widely considered (incorrectly) to be the first people to surf the heavy reef break known as "Ours". The story goes that a member of The Bra Boys saw a bunch of bodyboarders pulling into the heavy reef and making it out. The group then started surfing it and only allow surfers on the break now.

  yeah, what a bunch of cunts

  Ag forget those nobs, not worth the effort.
  But this Clops story is interesting; I reckon that spots like that will eventually become crowded, in the same way as there are 60 jetski's out at Jaws on an average day, or masses of paddle surfers at Sunset and Dungeons when its cranking. These are becoming like regular spots now, when before there were only the most mental locals were riding it alone for years. All it takes is for some pioneers to do something sick and the rest will follow, eventually.
  So, we'll see you okes out there... right?

  I dont know about that,I watched the road dvd,(super sick by the way),cyclops just doesnt look surfable.the take off is sketchy and the whole wave is not like any other wave,it looks like its 100% bodyboard wave,thats my opinion,I'll probably be proved wrong so bring it on....

  Sure they can ride it, but boogers get shacked -these guys tow in and ride the shoulder=dull!!!
  
  Boogers still own Cyclops!!!

  ok then,they can surf it but not one of those pics is a standup in the barrel,the waves are crazy but the ou is on the shoulder(as you pointed out elemntree)...so that proves cyclops is booger made.
