from Surf Magazine article by Bob McTavish (1967)..
..surfing research and development. A group of surfing minds. A headland that receives good swell and favourable winds.
Let's try the north side of Long Reef, Sydney, a half mile of coast around a rock bottomed pair of coves, the whole place takes any south quarter-wind, cops any swell at all, and has a lousy bottom shape. Really central. Conditions are excellent three to five days a week.
Accurate chart of the bottom, suggestions for wave shapes, models, testing tanks, research on cement and plastic combinations and varieties, methods of anchoring, and go to town.
A pipeline, an Ala Moana, a Malibu left, a Sunset walling into a Laaeakea, a Rincon, a Ti Tree, a right Pipeline, a few more imaginative breaks, some big and power(ful) some small. All varying with tides and swell sizes.
Southerly this morning? Off to the Reef. Wow! Only 200 guys out, only about ten each break.
Slip into wetsuit, grab wax, might just sit on nearby headland for a bit. and raise sensitivity to those waves, maybe get a rough plan figured on how to put together the session. Shape preferences, tide, frame - of mind.... Hit it.

Resurrect the Diggers Point project
Years ago there was a proposal to make a classic point break between South Curl Curl and Freshwater beaches in Sydney (Australia).
Can the proponents of this project breathe some life into it by making it available on the web?
Some discussion and some clever ideas could make this project happen.
