here is the way Surfline describes the above :-

SYDNEY SLAB GOES BALLISTIC
Maroubra's Bra Boys,
including Koby Abberton, Mark Mathews, Ritchie Vaculik, Evan Faulks
and Bronte surfers Kobi Graham John Bones Dwyer
take on some of the meanest tubes ever seen on the East Coast of Australia.
Mark Mathews calls it "heavier than Shipstern's Bluff".
