Water brings the waves

Sunbury weir had been undergoing development for a while and the result is a whole new set of gates similar in size to boulters. With the heavy rain we received a couple of days ago the gates are now open and are forming an awesome braking wave. We paddled hard on Sunday and had some great rides, hopefully with more rain dew the gates will stay open a while longer.
You paddle up the river left eddy and brake out height to catch it. In the middle there is a steep green wave and either side are 2 big wave holes. The green part of the wave is great to surf but can be surge and isn't always as sticky as it looks. It's best to surf just left or just right of the greenest part, you can then set up high, come down fast a throw some really big moves. Some video will be up on the site soon. Check out the pics.
