About Australia & New Zealand

Australia has shaped modern surfing more than almost any country. The Gold Coast's Superbank is one of the longest sand-bottom point waves in the world; Bells Beach in Victoria hosts the world's oldest pro surf contest; Margaret River in Western Australia delivers powerful reef surf for experienced riders. New Zealand's Raglan, Piha, and the Gisborne coast offer excellent alternatives with far fewer crowds. Schools and coaching programs across both countries are among the most professional on the planet, with a deep culture of structured progression from beginner to advanced.
