Australian Videoblogs and Podcasts

Australia is home to some of the great waves on the planet. Besides the kangaroos and koalas, the surf is one of the most interesting attraction in this country. Its big beaches and surf championships makes people from all over the world get to Australia.

It is good to know that there is no surfing in the north of the island because of the salt water crocodriles and the stingers (jellyfish). The east coast is place for surfing experts, who usually catch waves at the legendary Kirra and Burleigh Head. The weather in this spots is great and the sea temperature is warm.

You can find 20 feet waves in the south coast, where the sea temperature is cold all year round. The most famous spot is Bells Beach. As in the east coast, the west coast is also frequented by experienced surfers catching dangerous and powerfull waves. Nevertheless, there is a good city for beginners to surf calmly called Perth. This is not the unique place in the island for starters to go, as Newcastle, Sydney and the Gold Coast are appropriate for them too.

There is a great deal of surfing events coming up soon such as the Ocean & Earth Teenage Rampage Serie, the Rip Curl Grom Search and the Surfing Victoria Annual General Meeting.
Here you have some related videoblogs where you can see people surfing in the many beaches that I have already described.
