on aust day (26th of jan) there is a thing going on where surfers are going to paddle out and make the council bring bak kirra

Super bank,is only super on a good swell!
So most of the time we fight the crowds
for waves,to many people waiting to take
off in a small area,back in the day we had
five take of points ad the fact that every
man and dog surfs now its like walking across
a highway!
Thanks mongo see you out there!

I grew up surfing on the gold coast,kirra was the jem.

Went back up there a year ago when a cyclone swell was forcast and was really pis#ed off.What the f#ck happend to this world re-knowen classic wave????

Most of us (older,late 30's )crew will remember the classic all time kirra line up and how we fought to save it from the developers who wanted to turn it into a harbour!!!
I was disscusted that they have killed this world class break and that their has been no massive protests.


Having traveled alot surfing over seas,every surfer you meet says"wow,I wish i lived near kirra,that looks like the awsome right barrel in the world", and it was a freak of nature break like pipe or j.bay or g-land and it should be preserved like bells has been.

I remember as a gromm watching rabbit,hodges,butto,luke and the boys getting shacked all the length of the point.They were great years of surfing.

I nearly cried when I turned up at kirra with a 6foot swell pumping and there was no fast grinding,heavey freight train kirra , but instead a "super gay bank"

Start pumping that sand north of little groin and let mother nature turn kirra back into kirra.

For the younger crew that have never surfed the "real" kirra,get a hold of some old surf vids and see what a world class freak of nature of a wave it was,no wave on earth breaks(well use to) like it.

Pi@sed off

"the real kirra" before all the rock walls from duranbah to palm beach would have been a fantastic area of shifting sandbanks before the erosion from the artificial groins sent houses and roads into the sea.

feel priveliged that you experienced "the artificial kirra" in its bestest eighties prime, it won't happen again.

fully correct kearnsy!

i just checked out the city council library archives trying to find a piccy of how it used to be pre rock walls.

think it was from the fifties, looks so different hay.

Ive surfed Kirra a few times. My first time was 15 years ago. It was heaven on earth. Like others I have had some of the best waves there. I even named my daughter Kirra
