Summercloud Dreaming

Australia holds a special place in the hearts of many surfers. It is a country with a surfing culture all its own and a strong ethos of committed exploration, but with so many quality waves it's easy to imagine an Aussie just staying home. The wave at Black Rock, a.k.a. Summercloud, a.k.a. Aussie Pipe, a.k.a. Wreck Bay, is a prime example of a spot worthy of devotion. As Hugh McLeod notes, "Some places are too rich to answer to a single name."
