Getting Festive
Thu 7 March 12:00am
The planets are aligning. The ducks are in a row. The show is ready to roll. Yep, the Noosa Festival of Surfing is set to start this weekend, and wouldn't you know it, Tropical Cyclone Sandra was named and framed this morning. The Category 1 'clone will slowly move toward the coast squeezing a high pressure ridge as she goes. And that, my friends, means waves, especially at Noosa where the orientation will provide protection from the wind. Let the logging begin.
These pre-festival shots were taken by Jack Dekort.

Quiksilver Pro Day One
Wed 6 March 12:00am
The Quiksilver Pro ran through all twelve heats of Round One yesterday with lots of action but little drama. Gabriel tweaked an ankle and Adriano dinged his board, that's about the extent of the emotional toil. Dane's heat was much anticipated but after one or two good waves he disappeared and let Kelly rule the show.

Roll Call
Wed 27 February 12:00am
Those of you who've been paying attention should know the drill by now: First off the bat is Rodent Coote standing bolt upright and casual through a beast, then Jughead styling with his hands behind his back, followed by Shane Holmes holding a tight line. And all of 'em shot by Kerry Down showing a keen eye and incredible self control. How many barrel hounds would sit back and watch such a display without wanting to take part?

Besides The Point
Tue 26 February 12:00am
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.

Not So Sunny Coast
Fri 22 February 12:00am
Here, Jack puts his imune system to the test, while also baiting himself in the bush to those sneaky blood suckers, all to capture these grey but moody images from the not so Sunny Coast.

Paddle, Drop, Pull In
Thu 21 February 12:00am
Sometimes it's as simple as that.. Paddle hard, take the drop, bottom turn and then pull in.

The last sequence Grant Trouville sent us was an ultra-comitted backside bottom turn and barrel at Shark Island by 'Boogs' Vanderpolder. The latest sequence by Grant shows no less commitment but it's of a surfer of different nationality taken on a different coastline.

Last Rays of Sunshine
Tue 19 February 12:00am
As the storm drifted south, skies cleared and winds shifted offshore, with one late afternoon on the Sunny Coast providing some standout waves for those keeping a close eye on the beach.
