NEWS OF THE DAY

Home of one of the longest, hollow sandbars in the world--the Superbank--Australia's claim to surfing fame currently rests squarely on the shoulders of a piece of ocean floor on the Gold Coast.
Numerous connected pointbreak sandbars create this surfing wonder.
One of YouTube's claims to fame could lie in The Superbank News. View this long-running "channel" on YouTube to see a video chronicle of the Superbank. Every day--during runs of good surf--The Superbank News is updated with a clip from the past day or few days.
Not up to par with that of the modern surfing world videos for sale, the production values do not impress. There are no clips taken out in the waves with the surfers. The songs, oft-recycled between clips, can be annoying, and the angles are not original.
However, seeing the world through the eyes of a Superbank surfer--for free--never ceases to entertain.

PERSONAL UPDATE

Waist-head high barreling rights into the pier were supposed to be the call of the day, but that didn't happen. I can't say much for the reliability of the www.wetsand.com forecast today.

See you at the pier.
