Ok so the swell could have been better, the winds were cros
shore and there were bluebottles in the arvo, a few barrels
were had and it was sunny, so there are no real complaints
considering the events at Warriewood. There was nothing on
the news about it but someone, a female by the look of it
took a huge beating and not from the waves either.

I
was at Warriewood for the arvo session and Stupid Rookie w
as in the dunny putting his wetty on while i waited by the
car, i thought i heard someone scream for help but didnt be
lieve myself until i spotted a guy sprinting from the point
back across the beach toward the lifeguards, i still didnt
think much of it until the two parties met and both starte
d hammering toward the lifeguard shed, they disappeared int
o the shed, only to emerge a couple of seconds later with a
n entourage of senior medics and the rubber ducky.
Down
the beach the went, all of them, absolutely flying with thi
s rubber boat behind them and then, while the seniors waite
d on the beach, the ducky smashed through the whitewater an
d out to the point, by this stage i had realised that someo
ne had fallen from the cliff and if youve ever been to Warr
iewood, you would know that the cliff there is a fair drop
- straight onto the rocks below. Not long after this, Stupi
d Rookie came out of the dunny wondering what was going on,
as i told him of the proceedings, the friken Wespac Rescue
Chopper came screaming around the clifftop barely missing
the thing itself and 4 Ambos turned up to join the party as
well. From here on in, we had the camera trained on the ac
tion as 2 more Medics were winched down from the chopper on
to the sand, this is when the rubber ducky hammered back to
the beach to deliver one casualty, im not sure how many fe
ll from the clifftop but the chick they pulled from the wat
er was definitley not concious, whether she survived or not
is a mystery also. The whole drama lasted about ten minute
s, from the first scream to the casualty being placed into
the Ambo and being rushed off to hospital, with that d
one, we resumed our search for waves and found bluebotle fr
ee barrels at Bilgola.... if you think youve had a bad day,
just remember there is always someone whos doing it toughe
r than you.
