Here is an interesting piece of information about what this mainstream sport means for Aussies:
Surfing underpins an important part of the Australian coastal fabric. It
forms part of a lifestyle in which millions participate with a mystique in
which millions more have a documented interest. Australia surf stands out from other regions for the impressively wide shores
where it can be practiced. All across the continent, especially in the New South Wales , surfing
can be performed by both professionals and beginners alike. It is certainly a
key source of economic profit for the entire continent and it is also employed
as a means of cultural awareness.
On the east coast the
peak season awaited by avid surfers is the summer cyclone, as it creates swells
of at least seven days. The main problem is overcrowding and is not recommended
to the new comers. The most representative spots for the east coast Australian
surf are Kirra and Burleigh Heads.
The third best choice Australia surf has in store for its passionate
surfers is the west coast marked by Margaret
River . This region is a
destination only for the experienced due to its raging waves. The alternative
available to the beginners or those less courageous is Perth .
