Viduka - Tassie surf goes off in winter. Taswegian surfers are hardcore surfers who are almost insane. The crazier they are, the better they surf.I think it's the inbreeding that sends this breed of people going off in the surf and obviously in bed too.

Bruce Lee - Tassie's waves are certainly something to write home about, but the only problem is that it is so damn cold. Tassie has it's own type of culture, unlike that in other parts of oz. The true surfers their are truly hardcore surfers. They have to be, no other way.If anyone gets a chance I fully recommend you go down and have a look, but go full hog and make sure you go down in winter.Beware this place is not for the faint hearted.Tasmanians are a little backward as well which will make you trip a little more entertaining. They believe anything.
