The Cruise Ship Terminal-Broadwater

The Cruise Ship Terminal-Broadwater

An age old technique of “bait and switch” or “divide and conquer” in relation to the back down of the Cruise Ship Terminal proposal at Kirra, for the equally insane proposal of one at the Broadwater, has got the Supporters of “Save Our Spit” protest group, and many others opposing any Cruise Ship Terminal at all, in an absolute lather of discontent. “The plans don’t stack up, and the environmental cost and public amenity lost, is just far too great to measure” a spokesperson from “SOS” said.

Waves Winds and Tides

Waves Winds and Tides

From time to time we here at Surf-Shop get asked “what’s the tide doing?”
Well, all that ask are obviously some sort of watermen or another. Whatever rocks your boat to do with the Waves, Winds, or Tides, we all know we can’t get enough of it.
This Surf-Shop Peregian Beach blog hasn’t dealt with the complete Waves Winds and Tides picture in the past, as there are a number of great sites that do, and I wont list them all here, but, we’ll make an exception with just this one. It has been worthy of our notice over the last year that we have been following it. Seabreeze has been very accurate, in real time, on a daily basis.

WAVE POOL - Ipswich

WAVE POOL - Ipswich

WAVE POOL – Ipswich
WAVE POOL’s are becoming more popular through out the world as major tourist attractions. They also attract serious surfers for a bit of R&R away from the surfing madding crowds.
WAVE POOL’s are these days big business. Not suprising then that one Company has the name of KELLY SLATER involved, and is sure to draw world wide attention, and deservedly so.
The City of Ipswich is locked in a race to get the first WAVE POOL for Surfing with of all places, the GOLD COAST.
The Dubai of Ipswich?

Ipswich is 100km west of Brisbane and about that far from any Surfing beach you could name, but that’s the reason for it, to be first with a purpose built WAVE POOL for Surfing.
The project would be privately funded with backers already lining up to go, and that includes KELLY SLATER’s own company, the KS WAVE COMPANY.
“This could be reality within a couple of years as the technology and backing is there, but it is just about getting the details right” a spokes person for KS said.
World Patents
WAVE POOL’s already exist in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia all generating set after set of seriously good waves for experienced Surfers chasing that ultimate wave these pools provide.
Councillor Pisasale Mayor of Ipswich Shire said “Ipswich had a compelling case for wave pool attraction. Ipshwich would be perfect as we have the climate, we’re close to the State Capital and a fantastic tourist attraction for Ipswich”.
IPSWICH the new DUBAI of the west!

The SEAGLASS PROJECT – Albacore

The SEAGLASS PROJECT Albacore
The SEAGLASS PROJECT Albacore is the simplest finless board in the world. It makes the thrill of finless surfing fun, easy, and user friendly. The Albacore surfs much like a thin wood Alaia because of it’s flex, yet it is soft and user friendly. The EPS core delivers this tremendous flex, and this makes for surprising control and maneuverability.

TAJ BURROWS – North West Trip

Taj Burrows resides in the Yalingup area of South West Aust. This part of the coast cranks up some pretty good surf, but the South West also greets surfing with wild and woolly weather,…most of the time. So at other times if a mate was going North for the day and offers you a ride, the only decent thing to do is to accept the invitation with thanks, and jump on board the plane... and go!

JULIAN WILSON

JULIAN WILSON

When Julian Wilson impacted the reef at the ASP Tour 2011 and the result was a cut to the bone, it was definitely going to take time to recover.
At times in various interviews, he has said he was 80% fit for surfing, but more recently he was quoted as saying “100% but the rest is in my head”. With the help of a little bit of healthy therapy though to continue on surfing, has put a strain on his knee,
Sketchy results followed in the Tour, but with the on going treatment we will see the Sunny Coast iconic surf star Julian Wilson reach his peak again if the following footage is any guage. This was at Coolum Bay with no pressure or care, Julian enjoying him self. Footage courtesy of Sunnycoast Klips peregian Beach.

The Sumo is a mid length, high volume model with speed to go. The difference here is that the wide point is forward and the tail is a Mal like pintail. The volume in the middle gives the floatation under your chest and makes this Sumo way easy to paddle.
