Cape Fear

The heaviest and most dangerous wave in the world.

- Frances Henson

If you know anything about the surf break in Sydney known locally as "Ours", you'll know it's a wave not to be messed with. Research it up on the internet and you'll find the following advice, "very heavy wave best left to those with extreme talent or death wish." So what is there to fear? Pretty much everything when it comes to "Ours." The infamously dangerous wave breaks no more than ten to fifteen meters from a shallow cliff face blanketed with barnacles as sharp as glass. And if the worry of getting swept out by these monstrous swells isn't bad enough, surfers have to be vigilant of the rocks below them as well. A very small, select amount of people in the world wide surfing community can brag about having surfed “Ours”, as they are definitely some of the most elusive waves in the surfing world. A group known as the Bra Boys are the usual wielders of these powerful waves. Their reputation wasn't earned easily, as first they had to risk their lives to become the masters of Cape Fear. These men truly can call it "Ours".
