If Woodstock is for the hard-core music lovers, then the Kirra Surfstock Festival is meant for the certified beach bums and surf breakers. Indeed, the Gold Coast will not be as popular as it is today if not for the fantastic beaches that dot the area, as well as the rolling waves that are a favorite of surfers.
To gather all those who love the sand & sea, the council comes up with the surfing lifestyle event called Kirra Surfstock Festival.
What the Festival Is About
The event is mainly a non-profit project of the community. It simply wants to drive people at the beach and celebrate and appreciate the bounties of the sea. Moreover, it helps to raise awareness on the conservation of the waters and the protection of marine life.
