I went to Coolangatta on the southern part of the Gold Coast on the weekend! It is exactly 100 km from home so one hours drive approx.
The Quiksilver Pro Tour event start today (26 Feb) so the world's best surfers are gathered there now. I stood on the rocks and admired them - amazing what they can do!
As you can see on the photos the water is full of surfers and they compete to catch the waves and the unwritten rule is that the one closest to the break owns the wave and anyone else on the wave has to get off! They actually follow this system. I hit the surf on the smaller waves closer to shore and away from the rocks...
On the way home I drove all along the Gold Coast and went in the water a few places, including Currumbin and Tallebudgera. The conditions were very rough though!

I weekenden kørte jeg ned til Coolangatta på den sydlige strækning af Gold Coast! Det er præcis 100 km fra min lejlighed så ca. en times transporttid.
Surfstævnet Quiksilver Pro Tour starter idag (26. februar) så verdens bedste surfere er samlet dernede nu. Jeg stod på klipperne og beundrede dem - fantastisk hvad de kan diske op med!
Som du kan se på billederne var vandet fyldt med surfere og de kæmper om at fange bølgerne og den uskrevne regel er at den, som er tættest på brændingen ejer bølgen og alle andre skal forlade bølgen! De efterlever faktisk dette system. Jeg surfede på de mindre bølger tættere på kysten og væk fra klipperne...
På vejen hjem kørte hele vejen langs Guldkysten og hoppede i vandet et par steder, inklusive Currumbin og Tallebudgera. Badevandet var dog temmelig uroligt...
