BERSIH PUNTORAMA 5.0
An idyllic winter’s morning on the Gold Coast. Bluebird brilliance with water and air temperature sitting around an agreeable 23 degrees, and not a breath of wind to be felt. These serene conditions allow an uninhibited swell to toss crystal-clear head-high waves onto the famed golden shoreline. Pair this weather with Moondarewa’s1 classic sand setup and you’ve got a portrait of surfscape perfection. A textbook example of “dreamy”.
Now imagine scoring this weekday lineup with a few mates, only to look up and witness ten of Australia’s most promising aerial specialists charging over the dunes, wetsuits on, boards underarm, expectations psyched to the point of rabid froth, and all cheering at the potential on offer.
Welcome to Puntorama 5.0! Apologies to those South Straddie rats who were hoping to score a tranquil morning of uncrowded waves at one of Queensland’s premier beachies. Session ruined? Well, not if you enjoy watching high-octane, no-holds-barred, balls-to-the-wall world-class surfing! Definitely not, if you enjoy sharing the lineup with a bunch of talented frothers who push each other to new levels in affable competition.
Whatever crimes against crowding were committed, we certainly made up for
