i grew up there and moved away 8 years ago. i go back fairly regularly though. ice nine is right, surfers fucking sucks. the southern end of the coast is great, though. the beaches at coolangatta are awesome. there are a bunch of parks all around there that each have something fun. nerang skatepark is pretty decent, as is varsity lakes. elanora bowl is good if you like tranny. pm me if you want to know specifics, but i'm pretty out of the loop with anything happening there recently.
