| Last Day // Session 31 December 2010 By: Andrew Cassidy Location: Northern Beaches The beach on a beautiful, warm morning with great waves, clean water and light off-shore winds is always going to be crowded in a bustling metropolis.

I'd been out for about an hour with the first half of that relatively uncrowded. There were some really fun waves and I was having a ball. As the numbers of revellers slowly increased my enthusiasm consequentially decreased. Drop-ins were bountiful and aggression was rife.
