I can't find any on Flickr either.

Can it really be true that NOBODY took personal pics and then shared them ? Nobody at all !?!?
Sadly, the beach is very protected with bush on all sides and only 2 ways to get in. On the day of the Sydney Skinny, security guards are posted to prevent people from entering other than the race participants. Media are allowed entry, but only in the first two waves. So in order to get your own pics, you need to be a participant, and its hard to conceal a camera while youre butt naked, there is very little time to hang around on the beach before and after you swim, once it is over, you move back up the hill and the next group is escorted down by the organisers. It is very well controlled so there is not much opportunity to get photos.
