Apart from the fact that Australia is reputed to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world because of its wildlife, it’s also one of the world’s favorite surfing destinations. And with good reason, surfing is a lifestyle that punctuates the daily lives of thousands of people. Australia’s coasts are battered all year round by swells from the Pacific, making it an unmissable surf destination, and Superbank, home to the Snapper Rocks and Kirra surf spots, is no exception!
