Exploring Australia's Biggest City: Sydney | NO CONTEST OFF TOUR If Australia is one of surfing’s greatest nations then Sydney might just be the world’s greatest surfing city. With four-million people sharing the world’s largest natural harbour and 50-miles of coastline, blessed with incredible waves year round, Sydney is a modern metropolis on the water, with a storied, gritty surfing underbelly. From Isabel Letham famously riding waves with Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku at Freshwater Beach in 1915 through to a string of world champions including Tom Carroll, Mark Occhilupo and Layne Beachley, and on down the line to modern stars like Molly Picklum and Jarvis Earle, Sydney’s competitive bloodline runs deep. While the greater surfing community might know and toast the world champions, it is the hardcore local boardrider scene that is the DNA everything is built upon, and from Maroubra to Avoca and Newport to Bondi, host Ashton Goggans meets a cross-section of crusty locals, and explores the world class waves they live and breathe. On the back of radical surfing Sydney was not only responsible for the surfboard revolutions of the Brookvale Six and the invention of Simon Anderson’s thruster, but spawned an irreverent and sardonic multi-million surf industry of its own. If that’s not enough, the good old Aussie cafe, complete with avocado toast, washed down with a flat white, has become a global phenomenon, and they were largely born of the beaches too. None of this exists without the waves however, and from Cape Solander to North Narrabeen, Deadman’s to Voodoo and beyond, Sydney boasts world class surfing around every headland. Press play above and explore it for yourself. #nocontest #sydney #australia

When Everywhere Pumped: Classic Perfect Winter Surf In Australia We knew it’d be good. We didn’t know it’d be this good. The swell that doubled down along the Australian east coast on the weekend had been lurking around the forecast charts for at least a week. It looked like a classic mid-winter reversal of form — a swell from the east after three months of south? This is kinda predictable, we all hope for it. But as the winds began to build in the northern Tasman Sea last Thursday night, some kind of switch was flicked, and within 48 hours, everywhere from Straddie to Sydney was lighting up. It was the kind of surf people travel thousands of k’s to find, yet here it was, right on everyone’s doorsteps. Here’s a look at 2024’s best weekend so far. Why this happened the way it did: Something Special On The Way https://www.surfline.com/surf-news/incoming-something-special-nsw-qld/204802 Another look at the amazement: “How Could You Not Paddle Out?” https://www.surfline.com/surf-news/everywhere-pumped-not-paddle/205032 Filming by Bryan Dalli, Spencer Frost, Andrew Hoff, Jesse Little, Shagga, and Andrew Shield; editing by Hannah Anderson.
