Tasmania Report
Tasmania, Australia’s southernmost state, has received a bit more attention in the surf media of late. Tas has a rep for being big, burly and cold. That cred has not been diminished by recent disclosure of “Fluffytonka”, a reefbreak off the Apple Isle that looks like a bigger, scarier version of Shark Island. Judging from [...]

Hey Kooks!
Kudos to you chargers who braved the blizzard’s epic conditions. Whoo

Hello all,
We arrived last Saturday late in the afternoon and Domes was a solid head

Kaikoura, Timaru, Oamuru, and Dunedin are all surf centers on the east coast of [...]

My son and I are planning our next surf trip to CR in April. We’ll rent a car, and chase waves for about 6-7 days and explore in between sessions when we are “totally blown”. Tips or advice?
