​GEOFF MCCOY:
 
I FIRST heard about Noosa around 1962~63 in surfing magazines and also saw movies with surfers riding classic waves and thought:"I have to check this place out."

In 1964 I visited Noosa for the first time and had great waves from two to five feet, First Point, Johnsons, National Park, Tea-Tree and even Granite.

It was a dirt road into Noosa and the Noosa National Park and only a primitive fishermen’s walking track to all the points - but the waves were worth it.

Slide into the conversation

Noosa...What's your point? 
Author and life-long surf tragic Rob Black explores the hold Noosa, and surfing, has, on the thousands – maybe millions – of surfers
world-wide. With foreword by surfboard design legend Geoff McCoy, the book kicks off a lifetime of memories and discussion.

The pioneers of the late 1950s and early 60s “discovered’’ Noosa; sheltered from the prevailing winds and open to the cyclonic swells,
​the points were, and still are, a revelation. Mechanical-like waves so groomed and so perfect, snaking into the long sand-bottomed points, provided the ideal testing ground for the advancement of surfboard design and the shortboard revolution.

What’s your take on Noosa?
What’s your favourite point? First Point, Johnsons, National, Tea Tree or Granite?
​And what is your favourite break in the world?
And who would you like to share it with?
