Surfing Life — Issue 337 2017

A popular Gold Coast Pointbreak in 2008, a long time before drones
were invented. The sand from the rivermouth was so good this swell,
that photographer Andrew Shield hired a light aircraft and shot the Alley
for two hours from above. The sand this day was breaking for over a
kilometre, literally into the next suburb north. It hasn’t happened since,
and no one can remember happening quite like that, before.
