Woz comp for Cabarita
In the absence of tour surfing, the WSL has been running various standalone contests in surfing nations: The Rumble at the Ranch was recently held in the US; France and Portugal are combining for the Euro Surf Cup; while the Australian Grand Slam of Surfing includes two events, one at Margaret River and one at South Stradbroke Island, both held during a two month waiting period beginning in September.
Later today, the Wozzle will announce a third event to be held at Cabarita, northern NSW.
Rare sand at Caba, winter 2019 (Jesse Little)
The Wozzle also considered Sandon Point and Boomerang Beach as potential locations. The respective boardrider clubs were approached and enticed with offers of free entries into the Pro Junior should it be held. At Boomerang Beach the Wozzle was met with resistance from local surfers complaining of an inordinate number of contests.
Ultimately, Cabarita was chosen as it lies within the 'Tweed bubble' so is easily accesible to surfers from Queensland and New South Wales.
The Wozzle will make the announcement at 1pm this afternoon on Norries Headland.
Comments
Would anyone be able to field a generalised response from the Sandon Point locals ? I understand that the contest was rebuked but am curious as to the sentiment. Complete rejection or measured consideration ?
I'm picturing Baz from Toonalook
More Stu from Sandon
Native title exists over land and sea, significance to First Nations, requirement for consultation and potentially compensation???
Great news for Cabba and the surrounding local community. Just what they need at a time when the Qld Gov is killing them!!!
Just hope timing of event doesn't coincide with spring N'lys!!!
A lot of people are not aware that the Qld coast (Cabarita is only about 10k south of the border) is mostly unsurfable from September through to December due to the endless northerly winds which leave the ocean dead flat. Many time I have run into surfers from down south who headed north looking for some warm spring waves but left very disappointed with maybe a couple of 1-2 ft days the best on offer. But then summer comes and when the southern states are mostly flat we get months of pumping swells from cyclones and lows in the Coral Sea.
It'll be tiny and northerly guaranteed - my guess is they're banking on being able to surf the back-beach.
Dont forget the cold water & bluebottles.
Tradittionally I treat Sept to December as a bit off an off-season.
Spend some time with the family, do a few jobs around the house, watch the footy finals, become a horse racing expert & go to the Gabba for Day 1 of the test.
Surfwise, I try & do a couple of sessions a week on the SUP in the creek. These are done under the cover of darkness so no-one sees me.
Beer intake generraly increases to.
It's hard to see the necessity of this and the other contests. There's no qualification at stake, no prizemoney, no prestige, the local businesses won't benefit as so few surfers are in the contests, and the local surf community misses the best two days during the leanest surf season of the year. What's the point?
I have never seen the point in all surfing competitions stan, surfing to compete, score points and win money is an aberration. Surfing is a lifestyle and a communion with nature, not a competitive "sport". I look down on, not up to, professional surfers for selling their souls for the dirty dollar as they ride boards and wear wetsuits covered in advertising. Surfing is enjoyed best at an uncrowded spot with a mate or two - places like Snapper and Burleigh are my idea of a nightmare, maneuvering through an obstacle course of hundreds of surfers is not how i enjoy a wave.
Are we going to see them on mals and twinnies? Hardly a tour worthy spot. Surprised the locals were keen.
What the wsl wants they usually get. Locals might think they have a say but the deals are done behind closed doors in shire offices. Just ask the locals at margaret river if they want a comp on the best 2 days of the next 2 months. Our local shire responded, when asked about the comp, by saying they had heard nothing, knew nothing, No permits in place, no community consultation but the announcement goes out anyway.
Never heard of Caba until now. Must be a world class wave that has slipped under the radar.
I have surfed Cabarita a fair bit in the 70s and 80s, it is the first spot south of the border where there is a little protection from the prevailing SE winds. The picture above is misleading - yes that's a great line-up but Cabarita breaks like that about once a year. It generally breaks wider of the point and is not a genuine point wave. The south side of the small headland can also provide a decent wave when the wind turns NE. A decent wave, but hardly world class.
You would be familiar with the term Fatarita then...
Back beach Caba is much better when there are decent banks.
https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/best-beaches-in-australia-revealed-and-ca...
Brighton beach in Port Philip Bay an Australian "Best Beach" ???
They must be kidding! Whoever stuck that clip together didn't check out too many beaches here in Vic.
Generally a fat burger, great for mals and grommets. Photo is massively misleading. More joy to be had on the open beachies in the vicinity. When they are not being patrolled by large toothy predators of course.
.
Just curious here
.What laws allow them [or any other surfing contest official] to tell people to vacate the surfing Zone while the contest is on?
Has anyone contested said laws? Been fined? Were police involved?
Again, I'm just curious as to the legality of physically excluding people from a public area.
Not sure how it works in Australia, but in NZ a permit for a surf comp just allows for the use of the foreshore. There is actually nothing much stopping recreational surfers hitting the lineup... however, the police may invoke “disturbing the peace” as a reason to move recreational surfers on. As far as I know this has never happened, but if it was a major international event with hundreds of spectators, etc etc, then who knows. Generally people just go somewhere else to surf while the comp’s on.
Rare sand indeed,
Now where did I put that 2488 tattoo?
Lol
Apart from the traditional comp locations, the WSL don't even have a social licence to fart in any location in the country. Just shows how much respect they are getting from ordinary board riders.
The reason they probably have chosen Cabba is that if you live in Queensland in the border post codes you can still venture as far south as Pottsville at the moment under the current border rules - although these change weekly ! So Queensland based surfers will be able to compete against the NSW dudes and dudets. But as others have mentioned - the northerlies will win !
Cabarita, otherwise known as Bogangar, will be Bogarita in spring, with fat, mushy windswell.
That pic is rare. It hardly ever breaks like that. I think before that photo it was 2010. (don't bother correcting me if I'm wrong) Generally a fat mushy pusburger. Extremely frustrating. Welcome to Caba WSL. It'll be shit and I will steer well clear of the place. You can have it. Stay the hell away from me tho.
Good way to get an Covid outbreak moving from NSW to Qld.
I was just there and I can reliably say that I surfed the next point south which was way better with hardly anyone out.
Caba often fat, lumpy and a bit back/side washy, the “LOCALS ONLY” graffiti always make me chuckle and think of the Mucca Bad Boys.
Mate remove that mention of the next point south, it already gets busy on its day best to keep it on the down-low
they'll be surfing the back beach, or some tweed coast bank.
I thought only people who live in the bubble can travel in that bubble.. I'm pretty sure qlders can't travel over the boarder and get back in without expensive quarantine.. my girlfriends daughter lives at tweed and could not travel to the sunny coast for the grommie state titles
All Nsw residents and all of GC can go to Caba.
Anywhere else in Qld has to quarantine on return at this stage I believe.
Correct. Under current laws, Gold Coast surfers and all NSW surfers can visit the Tweed without restrictions.
Not the first Wozl comp to be at Caba
Caba is great at catching all the sheep, wannabeez and too cool for skool crew. Hangin' in the carpark talkin' up the lineup with coffee cup in hand is so 2488
Seems a perfect fit for a WSL event really.
Any official announcement yet?
PS: Think I have an old VHS tape with the then ASP comp when it was moved there. Was held in lumpy shit conditions IIRC.
EDIT: Fair chance the conditions in September will closely resemble what's on offer at Caba today.
I can only find one online reference to the event (the 1999 Billabong Pro) a posting in the alt.surfing Google Group.
"Hawaiian Sunny Garcia survived a case of Californian road rage to return to the water and contest this week's Billabong Pro on the Gold Coast of Australia. After three weeks out of the water recovering from plastic surgery to a shattered cheek bone, Garcia, 29, overcame fellow Hawaiian Conan Hayes in round two today to stay in contention.
1998 Billabong Pro runner-up Pat O'Connell, of California, was back to his best today, picking up with the same form that saw him rise to a career high of 11th in the world last season. Up against traveling buddy C.J. Hobgood, O'Connell appeared to find a comfortable rhythm with the better waves of the heat to eclipse his opponent by more than five points.
The Brazilian contingent made their force known in the second round today, with four heats in a row seeing the South Americans down their international opposition. It started with Sao Paulo's Renan Rocha who cruised by Australian rookie Chris Davidson. Newcomer Cristiano Spirro followed up with a whitewash over former world number two Shane Powell, sending the Australian packing after a loss of more than seven points.
Fabio Gouveia returned to the G-SHOCK ASP World Championship Tour with a vengeance, bringing about another seven point victory over Hawaiian sensation Andy Irons."
Pretty sure Beau Emerton won it.
Indeed you are correct.
"Last week was the twentieth anniversary of Beau Emerton's only CT win. It was the Gold Coast Billabong Pro and was held at Cabarita for all but one day."
https://www.swellnet.com/news/swellnet-dispatch/2019/04/01/quiksilver-pr...
Beau Beat Nathan Webster in the final I recall....and did Kelly not show up to an early heat ?
On all this Corona borders/country /no travel /quarantine . How did the GOAT manage to surf the whole east coast of Aus mid lockdown then pop up at his own contest in the US?
He was here when the borders shut, training for Snapper. So he was effectively locked in, and then he left the Goldy for Sydney before the NSW/QLD border restrictions began.
I saw him surfing at Palmy, fresh off the plane, when he almost certainly should have been in quarantine...
How? He was here training for Snapper before COVID was even a thing.
Didn’t he also pop up in Fiji - big kelly fan for a long time, maybe he was within all the rules but it all seemed a bit Jetset to me - at a time when he would have won more respect from me by staying out in one place to lower risks for those who are vulnerable in our community
In relation to permits etc, it may be like your local Club contest / State titles - Permit has been granted by Shire etc, and Surfing Australia has it insured as a legit event. You can enter the carpark or the water if you choose, but if you are not a registered participant / club member , you are not covered by said insurance. This means if a competitor is injured by you / you are injured by a competitor (within the permit zone), there is no basis for claim / you can be sued for the damage/injury / loss etc.I'm sure Wozzle's legal dept' has it all locked down tight.
This is an exciting event for Caba.
Do we know the date?

WSL ?
Caba was a great village before the Casuarina and Salt developments . The old pub was a great place to get into some heated 'debates' and you'd have to look hard to find a latte , especially in winter. if you were so inclined.
Yes. Warren Polglase's legacy. I did an assignment on his corruptness back when he was raping the coastal fringes between Caba and Kingy. Pure slime.
Yep, the fastbucks brigade's rape and pillage of that stretch of coastline is another sad stain on the state of NSW. I didn't know Wozza, but just about every coastal shire in the country has had a caarnt or 10 like that who'd sell the future in a bloody heartbeat if there was a quick buck in it.
Yep Tango. The Bob Jellys of the coasts.
He even got sacked for corruption yet, got re elected......you couldn't make this shit up.
https://amp.abc.net.au/article/1430782
You've got to love their chutzpah, too:
"....you're elected by the community to represent the community's point of view....."
If only.
Unreal accoms attached to the pub too in the early 90s hey TS, beachfront rooms, big, clean and comfy and 40 bucks a night, the perfect box-ticking getaway for the young budget minded gold coaster required to make a romantic gesture.
Late 80's early 90's the pub overlooking the beach at Yamba was pretty much the same too. Cheap, clean rooms, pretty basic but comfy and a great countery. The Caba pub was great but wouldn't know now, haven't been there in donkeys.
As mentioned above, Cabarita itself is a pretty crap wave. Has its days but they're pretty few and far between.
yeah the rooms were pretty cosy .. I miss the old pub , Lived in Caba for many a year but always stayed in that hotel when I wasn't and just visiting.
Knowing most of the staff was always a bonus,,
Before it was replaced I 'confiscated' some of the old 'decore' ,, with permission of the owners of course. Including genuine pool cues that have the sweat of some of those budget minded Gold Coasters you mentioned stained into them. Sweat from wondering why they brought their new found princess to a place full of blokes who didn't care about their existence .
A beautiful Nth coast headland is Cabba, world class wave ah I don't think so! WSL is keeping the show on the road in an attempt to maintain some sort of viewer demographic. I'll probs watch the highlights as the most elite surfers in our neck of the woods put on a show! Toledos 9 in Kelly's Tub was exciting to watch as was Kelly's 720 attempt to up the ante in the Rub a dub dub show! Very glad that my friends @ Boomerang Bch expressed their concerns about to many freak shows on the Mid Nth Coast!
Bit more than a casual connection between the Woz and Tweed Coast.
Salt/Casuarina is a Don Rorke project.
Don donated 4million to the Hurley HPC to get it built, under the auspices of then CEO of Surfing Australia Andrew Stark.
Don is also the developer involved in the Coolum/Slater wave tub proposal and Stark is now Australasian head of WSL.
It's a very cosy relationship.
Don is Good!!! ;)

Took a whole week but the Woz (and NSW Govt) finally got their press release out.
https://www.nsw.gov.au/media-releases/pro-surfing-grand-slam-makes-waves...
"Member for Tweed Geoff Provest said the Tweed Coast Pro will be held over two days and will utilise locations at Cabarita Beach or Fingal Head."
http://www.worldsurfleague.com/posts/455046/tweed-coast-pro-bolsters-aus...
"The broadcast-only ‘strike mission' style events, not designed for spectators due to COVID, will see WSL surfers based in Australia given just three days' notice within the competition window, to travel to each location to compete over two days. Surf conditions will determine which location is surfed and when to make sure surfers compete in the best conditions possible."
Has anyone come across any community consultation for this event? I'm not aware of any.
Caba actually gets pretty good. It can be a bit fickle, but I've had some really good waves there. I lived there a few years and on occasion it really would pump.

Was interested to see the perennial "Locals Only 88" reappear scrawled in white paint on the point at Caba overnight Monday (I surfed Tuesday morning).
It wasn't there Monday afternoon, during the WSL event.
Even more interestingly, by this morning it had been removed (yet again).
