When the tradewinds blow, sometimes they blow in the right direction. Add the words “30 knots” to that, and you get what unveiled itself along the Gold Coast and northern NSW yesterday. Oh yeah, it was offshore too, for the first time in a week. The whole east coast was (and still is) pumping, but these five Kirra bombs captured by Simon “Shagga” Saffigna yesterday afternoon sum up the energy and stoke of the swell as it peaked. Watch here as Hammo, Dingo Morrison, Dimity Stoyle, Mick Fanning and Kerrzy take full advantage of the conditions.

CASUARINA/NSW (December 16th/2020) : Aussie surf fans have proven the nation’s former masters of the sport aren’t forgotten in retirement. Surfing Australia Studios Season One of ‘RIVALS’ was a resounding success with both mainstream fans and core lords of the sport alike supporting the concept through both Channel 9’s free-to-air broadcast and mySURFtv’s YouTube offerings over the twelve-week season. From Nathan ‘Hog’ Hedge and Tommy Carroll’s pep talk at Narrabeen to Kai ‘Ottz’ Otton calling out old sparring partner Joel Parkinson, good hearted banter was the flavour of the season, not to mention great surfing.
