# Abandoned Waterslides

I went down to the beach yesterday morning to take some photos of the surfers and vibe as there was a [local surf contest](https://ronald.ghost.io/surf-contest-day/) running.

On my way home, I noticed some surf photographers standing on top of the waterslides, locally know as _ **The Supertubes**._ That's when I realised that it's not operating, despite it being a beautiful, warm day on the beach.

I decided to go see what's happening...
