Stab's Guide To Newcastle | About Town

Welcome to episode two of About Town, a series in which we explore, with gusto, the most vibrant pockets of Australian surf culture. We’re all fond of a road trip, or a weekend getaway; It’s the Australian surf dream. And if you happen to live in Oz, there needn’t be any reason why you should look beyond its coastlines.
For this episode, we rolled into Newcastle, a colourful small city/big town that surfers like Ryan Callinan, (four-time world champ) Mark Richards, Matt Hoy and more call home. You'll likely notice the absence of perennial Stab fav, Craig Anderson, who was unfortunately out of town while we were shooting. But, you'll also notice the presence of everything else that makes Newcastle the flavoursome hub of surf that it is.

Loved this video. Being from the original always wondered what this place was like. Love the look of the place. 👍

[@leilafarabegoli8376]

Definitely could have a fantastic About Town episode in Margaret River Western Australia, some of the best surf culture, surf spots and surfers to come out of surfing in Australia!

[@richiemoorhouse9919]

great alternative to online school

[@macrovigilance]

makes you wanna visit and share a wave and a schooner with Hoyo! (Bosko was spot on when he said Louie did stuff that Slater didn't.. big foot was the world's most stylish and radical goofy footer during the 90s and early 2000s)

As a Pom who stayed there for 6 months back in 2000 i remember it as a cool old school Ausie town that was half the price of Sydney with some great bars including The Brewery, the Mercury club and of course the Jolly Roger

Step one - don’t go to Newcastle. Step two - surf somewhere that’s not a filthy shithole Step three - enjoy the filth and gronk free surf. Perfect.
