Noosa stands along within the Australian lineup landscape with three separate waves all feeding into the next starting at Granites, moving north to Tea Tree and into the boiling pot and ‘National Parks’ before ending down at First Point. Heath Joske and Harley Ingleby give us the run-down.
Part One of the B-Sides Series showcases a recollection from a strike trip whilst filming for Pentacoastal. Plagued with eggy winds and a junky swell this wave only broke on two of the days they were there. But they snapped through the groundhog days and in an attempt to avoid the crowds at this particular reef Dane, Wade and Tanner only surfed on the dead-low tides. Filming from the water, Shane Fletcher’s knees were scratching the reef on most waves but they made some fun out of it!
