After a surprisingly productive springtime of surf in Southeast Queensland, the kids are geeing up for a big summer of water action. Their equipment's fine-tuned, the banks are stable and the water temperature's enticing all and sundry into the lineup.

Jack Dekort's been dodging sultry spells in search of southern swells with Jasper Edensby, Ryan Daley and Tom Tyler.. and gee the tap's been permanently switched to full-blast ever since he landed.

Everyone seems to be in Indonesia at the moment, taking advantage of the reliable winter swells from the Southern Ocean.
