MAKE WAVES Kirra (QLD): Bring Back the Waves
If you were lucky enough to catch the Jack Johnson concert tour (brilliant, by the way), then you may have noticed a film projected on the screen at the back of the stage featuring the Bring Back Kirra campaign. Thanks Jack! If you would like to find out more or lend support to this campaign please contact our National Office.

Surf to Save Kirra Contest Photo Gallery
Contest organiser John Bradford teamed up with the Kirra Surfriders Club and Surfrider Foundation Australia on Saturday the 16th of February 2008 to hold a surfing event in aid of the ‘Bring Back Kirra’ campaign.
Special thanks to Peter Turner and Kirra Surf, Stomp surf wax and Surfrider Foundation for providing prizes. Lunch was provided by Kirra Pizza Hut.
Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew, Cheyne Horan, Stuart Ball, John Bradford and Neil Lazarow spoke at the presentation on topics including the need for recognition of surfing amenity, the economic value of surfing, the iconic nature of Kirra and the generation/s who have missed it.
Hopefully the event won’t be required annually. Maybe one day all the crew can get together and have a ‘Surf to Enjoy Kirra’ back at the point.
