Snapper Rocks
Gold Coast, Australia
Snapper Rocks is the start of the famous Superbank, where sand pumped along the coast can create very long right-hand rides on the right swell. It has long hosted pro tour events. The lineup is one of the most crowded in the world, so patience and etiquette matter.
