Jimmy Wilson snags a gorgeous "what if...?"
There has been enough talk about how Margaret River’s Main Break is a tired, sluggish affair. A wall. A few carves. A rock landing. But, let us be honest here, it does look kind of fun, no? It looks like a suitable canvas. It looks like a proper dance floor. Until, apparently, one looks away. Surfing magazine’s phenomenal Jimmy Wilson posted the above image on his Instagram this morning with the caption:
Hard to concentrate on shooting a contest at Main Break when people are doing shit like this out at The Box.
And look at that. Beautiful composition, great color, a good narrative but mostly wow. I don’t know who the surfer is but what if this was being judged instead of, you know, that?

that color is so swoony.
There would be no more “long drawn out bottom turns” and plenty more “knifing” I suspect.
But I’ll miss the high line wrap!
Yeah Chas, Parker highlighted that Margaret river mainbreak is for Longboards so between you both we clearly see you’re hard chargers built only for special waves like Box and maybe even gnarloo. we hope to see you out there one day.
What was your notification for, Chas?
Probably Instagram messaging me the community guidelines again.

Understandable. I only get notifications of likes from fake profiles of Russian girls linking to cam sites.
Those and the Japanese girls that all look the same. It’s a plague and I’m committed to reporting every single one, not for the links, but the lack of ass in the viewable post pics.
