Paddle Against Poverty Australia

Now in its 14th year CS Wollongong in Australia attracted almost 100 paddlers, who raised over $17,000 for Compassion Australia. They have effectively transitioned a CS event into a community event facilitated by CS. The Paddle Against Poverty has become a rite-of-passage for many surfers of the local area and has broad support from Surf Lifesaving, emergency services and local council.

Bombora: The Story of Australian Surfing.

Bombora is an indigenous Australian term for an area of large sea waves breaking over a shallow area such as a submerged rock shelf, reef, or sand bank that is located some distance from the shoreline and beach surf break. In slang it is also called a bommie.
As the wave passes over the shallow area its shape is raised and steepened, creating a localised wave formation. The size and shape of bombora waves makes them attractive to surfers willing to take the risk of riding what is generally considered a hazardous pursuit.
These formations can pose a significant danger even in good weather as a bombora may not be identifiable because it may not always have breaking waves.
