A
boiling broth of fibreglass, aluminium and human beings - no this isn’t
a high school science experiment or a Mary Shelly novel - it’s Currumbin
Alley on any given summer Saturday. The shifting sands and shallow
entrance combined with the ever increasing numbers of swimmers,
surfcraft and powered vessels make this place one of the most lethal
stretches of shoreline waterway in the country - a perfect point break and
a protected boating entrance, right on top of each other.
Despite the tragic loss of surfer Richard King to a collision in May 2011, it
still remains an accident just waiting to surface once more - that is for now
at least. So just what is being done? FROTH takes a deeper look at the
new campaign pushing to bring about much needed change, that might
just be the difference between life and death.
