Goldie
The Goldie never fails to put on glorious weather and waves. It feels like summer up here; everyone’s in shorts and surfing in boardies. There’s been a healthy swell supply, and Snapper and D-bah have had plenty (plenty of crew too!) School and work seem to take a back seat when there are opportunities to […]
Super Bank
I’m just up the road at The Superbank, aka Coolie. This place is a mecca for surfers, a hive of talented wave riders who dominate every wave along the Gold Coast. Schools are out, and there are kids everywhere, as many are here to try their luck at the Australian Interschool Championships running over the […]
Paradise
They’ve had an excellent run of swell up here on the Gold Coast. That enormous mongrel swell didn’t get as big as we all thought, but the sheltered points have been providing joy to waveriders all over this north coast. Everybody surfs here. Even when the sun is far from rising, the points are loaded […]
24 Carat Gold Coast
I’m on the Goldie! The first local I chatted with said “Don’t go outside, it’s freezing” (he was wearing a singlet and thongs). It confused me. I checked my phone – 23 degrees and perfectly sunny outside. I thought he must have meant the water, which is also 23 degrees…ah, these Queenslanders have it good […]
Glare Stare
Put ya sunnies on for this update as she is super glary… Wow, the colours this morning were insane! The 6:30am hue eruption made up for the tiny 1 foot waves. I know you were down there to see it. I saw you… I am still shock from yesterday’s Quiksilver Pro final between Gabs Medina […]

Today is a lay day at the Quiky Pro so the Snapper Rocks bar will be packed. They’ve been busy up there running 4 days in a row so they’re going to sit and wait for better surf conditions. They’ve got time up their sleeve now. Yesterday afternoon was heating up at The Pro…Joel Parkinson […]
Snapper
For the fourth day in a row the Quiksilver Pro is on at Snapper Rocks. A small but rippable east swell has been feeding the best surfers in the world. Today they ran round 4 of the men’s and the girls are in the water right now. You can watch it live. So far Adriano […]
Snapper Pockets
Sorry about the late transmission… Today the Quiksilver Pro presented by Land Rover (yes very formal these days) was on again up here on the Gold Coast. Snapper was pumping out 2-3 footers, pretty hard work on the high tide (just shoulders) but smoking on the low tide (like now). Highlights: At 6am the pre […]
