October 17th saw some of the biggest waves to hit Tiree for 2 years -18ft at 16secs!!

John Skye, Ben Proffitt, Phil Horrocks, Timo Mullen, James Cox, Rich Potter, Chris Audsley, Adam Lewis, John Hibbard and many others took on the mast high plus monsters and ripped them to bits. The standouts being Skyeboy and Hozza for his huge (15ft clear of a 15ft wave?!) aerial, scoring the best of it early on.

Towards the end of the session things got a bit sketchy, with innocent looking logo high lumps suddenly mutating into nasty mast high bombs of doom as the tide dropped. A surf later in the week revealing a car sized boulder as the culprit, eeeek!

Thanks to JC for these pics.
