Noosa surf mecca

By JONATHON HOWARD

NOOSA’S surfing community is celebrating a monumental move towards becoming Australia’s newest National Surfing Reserve (NSR).
In this week’s Life of Brine column, Phil Jarratt reveals the details around the submission and plans to move Noosa into a world recognised surfing reserve by the end of 2015.
The move would make Noosa Heads the 19th NSR in Australia in 2014.
Noosa Heads offers surfers five right-hand point breaks located in the magnificent Noosa National Park.
The Noosa Heads SLSC was founded in 1927 and Malibu surfing took off on the local breaks in the 1950s.
