So you've seen the photos from Kirra, Burleigh and maybe even Currumbin taken during the last swell. There's a lot more to the Gold Coast than just those points, however, with miles of beach stretching between the headlands.

Young Gold Coast photog, Sam Christopher, shot his local beachbreak during the recent swell while it did a very good - and very uncrowded - imitation of the better known pointbreaks.

All photos by Sam.
