What the professional are saying about the surf at superbank

Tom Carroll says of the Superbank...

“I’ve had the most dangerous surf I’ve ever had here.”
“Its probably the most crowded surfing place on the planet: when there’s a thousand or so surfers on a strong 1-2 metre day there’s going to be surf rage FULL ON. I don’t think it’ll get any better. The tolerance levels have been amazing (pause) so far”.

Martin Potter on the Superbank and the loss of Kirra...

“We’ve lost really good surf spots in just making one.”
“When the Superbank started everyone was raving about it and yes it was an exciting thing but what we didn’t realise was what we actually were going to lose and time told us: ‘Hey guys this isn’t how it’s supposed to be’.”

Occy...

“We want to ride big waves here but they’ve [made us] ride small waves because it’s too shallow (in the bay). When we got a 6 foot swell it’s a waste of swell”.
“For those guys pumping the sand they’re making that much money they don’t want to admit they’re doing the wrong thing. They’ve ruined something good.”

Wayne Dean...

“The reason they didn’t allow our outlet at the Miles Street groyne was that there was no EIS for west of Kirra Reef – well they’ve totally ruined it (Kirra Reef). Unless you’ve got letters behind your name they don’t seem to listen to what you know.”
