The Quicksilver Pro is now on at Snapper's Rock, Coolangatta from today until 10 March, 2010. This event starts the World Tour for 2010 and its the first time in 12 years for a world tour event to start there again.
The Quicksilver Pro is a fantastic spectators sport with a beautiful setting, great views along the Coast and a chance to see some of the world's best surfers in action. From Kelly Slater to Mick Fanning and lots of upcoming surfers hoping to be the next big thing in surfing. So if you fancy a bit of sunshine (hopefully), sea air and some intense surfing competiton without needing to get wet, Coolangatta is the place to be until the 10 March.
For those who want to get a taste of surfing for themselves, the Gold Coast has lots of Learn to Surf options all along the coast (with a lot of options centred in Surfer's Paradise). If you are a complete beginner they will teach you the basic skills. Check out www.surfingqueensland.com.au to find great surf schools all along the coast.
For those with a bit more experience the Gold Coast is not world famous for surfing for no reason! So if you have your own board or want to hire one you should check out many of the surf beaches along the Gold Coast.
