Cyclone Marcia: Insane photos of Aussies surfing up a storm

Residents were being urged to stay indoors with Cyclone Marcia lurking. But just like children who want what they can’t have, fearless Aussies in Queensland’s south-east were out and about facing down the storm*.

Second thoughts about heading out at Snapper Rocks

Would you look at that spray? No turning back now

Get out the water, I’mma swallow you whole

Babe, I think you should come back out now…

Marcia schmarcia. A little storm surf never killed nobody

Don’t cross the road when the red man’s flashing

Or rather just don’t attempt crossing the road at all

Wetsuit? Bodyboard? Storm? Sorted.

Pensive surfer poses for a photo before diving off the rocks

We’re going in boys! Who needs a wetsuit?

Dad, where did they go?

Quick, let’s take a selfie before Cyclone Marcia comes!
