Surfing Reserves

From Surferpedia - The Wiki Encyclopedia of Surfing

Surfing Reserves are officially recognised surf breaks, which have been zoned for protection, because the location has assumed iconic status in the Australian surfing community. The declaration of a surfing reserve achieves three purposes:

• it formally recognises the site as an area of surfing significance and quality surf;
• it recognises the long and close links between surfers and the surf and
• it will assist in the long term preservation of the site for future surfers.
