Hey friends.  Exciting news today.  World Surfaris KirraSurf manager, David Scard has made the finals of the Billabong XXL awards with his incredible Cloudbreak barrell last year deemed to be in the TOP 5 waves ridden in 2010 !! Imagine that.  Scardy is being flown to LA for the awards ceremony at the end of April.  You can imagine how stoked he is.  This was the result of a World Surfaris Stealth Mission in September 2010 with some higher profile pro surfers. Who would have thought Scardy would score the wave of the session and quite possibly the wave of the year…Go Scardy your a mad-dog, whilst his alter ego David Scard is an awesome travel consultant and can hook you up for your next surf adventure.

Whilst Scardies is not the biggest wave ridden, it is certainly the best barrell ride with a very high degree of difficulty.  Top pros who have surfed big Cloudbreak have given Scardy big Kudos for his incredible effort.  They acknowledge that this barrel was freakish!

Hi all,

          David Scard, World Surfaris consultant, all round good guy and big wave champion, is still basking in the glories of his epic Cloud break session. After tracking a swell to Fiji Scardy put out a stealth alert to forewarn the keen , the brave and possibly the down right suicidal.  A few nights onboard our Fiji charter the ‘Stellar’ and the small specialised group were ready and in place to chase the adrenaline charged behemoths. Scardy’s 15 footer + saw him barrelled for 9 seconds and ride into a Billabong XXL big wave nomination an ASL poster and other glories besides. The folks at ASL have pieced together two webisodes and since we are all about getting behind Scardy it would be remiss of us if we didn’t share the journey with you. So enjoy and all the best.

Hi All,

       Whilst Scardy was scoring 15ft + Cloudbreak on the weekend of the other weekend, New Cal was playing host to some of the finest surfers from Melanesia. The below comes courtesy of Seb our friend and operator from New Caledonia, which World Surfarfis had the extreme pleasure of visiting recently ( More later). The competition took place at Ouano break and we think you’ll agree it put on quite a show.

This land of contrast is composed of a group of islands: the main island, Loyalty Islands, Isle of Pines, Belep and a myriad of small islands.

The barrier reef stretching 1 600 km and encircling the mainland island is the world’s largest lagoon, and surely one of the most beautiful.
