The swell keeps coming … and coming. More photos from the Super Bank and Snapper Rocks to Kirra April 20th

Posted in Gold Coast, News

The swell keeps hanging around… It seems like the waves havent got under 3 feet for over 2 months now. There were great waves over the weekend . I didnt pick up the camera on the weekend but had a great surf at Duranbah and surprised myself by picking up a few nice peaks in the school holiday crowd. Shaun Harington was out there ripping on an old brown board. I saw him on one wave, backdoor the peak taking off pigdogging goofy (switchfoot) and then switch foot back,...

Posted in Gold Coast, News

Theres been a lot of talk about Kirra being back….. Well Im here to tell you that’s all a load of crap. There’s still billions of tons of sand filling in the break that was once the infamous Kirra. Sure theres been some great waves out in front of the Big groyne lately, courtesy of cyclone Jasper. But the reality is if you went any further down the line, from Big groyne, it was almost impossible to take off without Jetski assistance. Sure you can call it...

A few years ago if anyone had told me that there was good surf in Italy, I would have laughed. That was before I met a guy who gave me the lowdown on whats happening in the way of surf in Italia…. Paolo D’angelo Paolo is 3 times Italian open surf champion. The last time he won was actually a few years ago, in 2003. He’s  been living in Australia, married to an Aussie girl for quite a few years now. He surfs the Gold coast points regularly and is out in the...

In search of Michael Peterson a Review by Martin Tullemans

Posted in Gold Coast, News, Reviews

The release and premiere of the movie ‘Searching for Michael Peterson’ truly struck a bottom turn in my heart. It was not your usual pump up the hydraulic plumbing macho fluid stuff. Sure the rip tear and lacerate of ‘MP’ the father of modern high performance surfing was…….  oh yeah baby!!!…. Show me the money!!!  But it also had a humanity   and respect for Michael’s condition that set it a cut above. Jolyon Hoff the producer needs to be applauded and...

I finally managed to get in the water at Snapper on Tuesday…of course I missed it!.. The day before on Monday it was absolutely pumping through the beach at Coolangatta, kegging right down past big groyne at Kirra. There wasn’t much current so I swam / drifted all the way from Snapper Rocks down past Kirra… I got a few pics of the surfers on the way through Rainbow, but got down to Coolangatta beach pretty quickly. It was pretty spooky and sharky down there as I...
