KIRRASURF History

Founded by Kirra local Peter Turner in 1977 KIRRASURF rapidly established itself as a surfers destination. Located in close proximity to Kirra Point - the shop often became the spot where travelling professional surfers could pick up their boards and wetsuits grab a legrope or a block of wax on the way to the point. With a shop that was dedicated to surfing hardware KIRRASURF 's global reputation grew as a must visit for any travelling surfer.

 

A trip to the gold coast was not complete without a long grinding barrel out Kirra Point and a Kirra Surf tshirt on the way home....Sponsorship and association with elite surfers has always been an intricate part of the KIRRASURF brand.

 

From Glen 'Rocky' Rawlings on the world tour in the early 80's through to former world #2 Shane Powell competed at the highest level as part of the KIRRASURF team. Now Mark Occhilupo, one of the icons of world surfing, has inked a deal with KIRRASURF. Occy will represent as KIRRASURF's global ambassador in recognition of his contribution to the sport which KIRRASURF shop was tailored for. In 1993 the planning began on building one of the worlds biggest and best surf stores and in December 2008, the new super store at Kirra become a reality.

 

Built on the same business principals that Peter first kicked off with back in 1977 - A store built and staffed by surfers for Surfers with a focus on Surfboards , Wetsuits and Service!

 

A true destination for the travelling surfer!
