Kirra time-line

Prior to 1840 — Kirra is not known by its current name and is rarely visited by white settlers.
1840-1910 — The first white holiday-makers start to visit.
1910-1920 — Holiday-makers increase, making Kirra a popular recreational beach area.
1930s — The opening of the South coast road increases the popularity of the southern Gold Coast as a holiday destination. Camping was very popular for families because Kirra had a long beach and a low-lying dune system.
1960-early 1974 — The Tweed River breakwaters combine with a series of low-pressure weather systems to result in serious sand erosion. This brings the high-water level to just below the coastal road.
1970s — Big Groyne built at Kirra’s south end.
1995 — 30 metres taken off Big Groyne to help fight erosion at Greenmount Beach.
2001 — Start of Tweed River sand bypass project.
2003 — Little Groyne completely buried in sand.
2006 — Project launched by Griffith University Coastal Management Center to restore the beach
2010 — Kirra remains a mere sliver of its former self but can still provide a perfect racing barrel on its day.

Some waves are perfect, others are flawed and this wave is somewhere in between. No takers this day so Asher Pacey jumped at the chance for a few empty caves.

ART SURF

WAY OF THE OCEAN — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 00:24:49 +0000

Surfing and Art have long been tied together and are often spoken as one in the same. The act of riding waves and simply waves themselves are such a special thing, so it is no wonder that people have been drawing painting and photographing them for ages. Surf related art can be found dating back as far as 3,000 years ago in Peru, where engravings were found depicting ancient surfers riding waves. Now days surf art comes in all sorts of forms from simplistic line drawings to intricate oil paintings and beyond. Below are a few simple sketches done to pass the time in the morning as the swell fills in. . .
