L'article évoque le rôle du East Coast Sand Transport System dans la création de points fabuleux: une autoroute de courant de sable de 1000 km de long.
There are many natural sand transport systems traversing the coastlines of the world, however none have created a fertile wave zone such as the East Coast Sand Transport System has done. The system runs the central span of Australia’s East Coast, starting at the Hunter Valley and terminating 1,000 kilometres away at the northern end of K’gari (Fraser Island).
Between the two are many of the world’s greatest waves: Lennox Head, The Pass, The Superbank, Kirra, Currumbin, Burleigh, South Stradbroke, Cylinders, and each outcrop within Noosa Heads. The shape of the wave above the waterline is dictated by the shape of the sand below it, and all of that sand is fed by the East Coast Sand Transport System.
