MP in Morning of the Earth , rabbit and Butto in Surf into Summer. Two vids which made me go to Kirra.

[steve shearer]

Ive heard there were a few "famous" surfers were behind the push to pump the sand to create the SB. I bet they wont be at the paddle out.

To quash a complete bullshite internet rumour..........the development of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypass Project (TRESBP) had nothing to do with any famous surfers.
There was an advisory comittee formed, which consisted of well known local surfers including Rabbit, Wayne Deane, Bruce Lee and Peter Turner.
Their statements are a matter of public record.
I'd suggest you do some research before spinning shitt on the Net.
They'll all be there tomorrow.

Steve, I assume you'll be there.
I can't make it but will be there in spirit.
Say hello to Peter Turner for me.
We were in high school together and his Dad was our maths teacher.

[steve shearer]

Hi Trev, will do if I get a chance.
Heard that MP is going to get out there on a board.
First time in the water for 26 years.

I always thought Peter Turner was the mayor when they did the deal.
There was a time when the left was better than the right....for a season but that was when the right wasn't working at all and all the sand was half a klm off shore.
Will MP paddle out on a 5'11"?

[Trev]

He was Deputy Mayor.
Her's an interesting take from 2 years ago.

Big day ... Good day ... interesting day ... heaps of people ... something like 1500 plus for the paddle out ... must have been well over 3000 there in total ... fantastic.
I've lost the modem and am at dial up speed ... Ahhh ... catch ya later.

Hey Larry ... Happy Australia Day.

[steve shearer]

I'll second that. Was phukn awesome to see and be a part of.

Nice shot of the lefthander Trev.
I remember watching the Queensland Titles when it was going off. MP going straight down and straight up on his 5'11".

[steve shearer]

Pretty classic example this weekend.
Nice angled ENE swell hooking right into Kirra, and just a bunch of close-out sections along the bank. I guess this is what people refer to as fun Kirra. It actually had zero resemblance to Kirra as a pointbreak.
Superbank was cloudbreaking on the lower stages of the tide.
Would've been a very fun run of the mill "between swells" day at Kirra.
I took a few photos and I'll try and stitch a panorama together.

here's some pics i took sarvo and it sums up the place, kirra wasn't particularly amazing but this is generally how it breaks these days.. superbank had some epic waves coming through though - can't surf atm so decided to get behind the lense haha please excuse my shitness and bad lighting <3

HECTIC SHITTT

[boardscape avalon]

those photos look as though it was pretty good to me,again i wished i had allowed myself to drift down to surf it.often happens the pre surf plan of attack is to go out at snapper and get down to the groyne at kirra as quick as possible....the beach at kirra is in now way 400m wide , actually less than half that distance.

[lambert]

yeah the run from greenies cliff through the groyne was really nice
