The climate is pleasant all year round, which made Margaret River to one of Australia\u2019s top wine-growing regions!\u00a0\u00a0 Margaret\u2019s is a true \u2019surf town\u2019 and only every fifth car that\u2019s driving around doesn\u2019t have a surfboard on the roof!<\/p>\n<p>Margaret River\u2019s \u2019Main Break\u2019 is one of Australia\u2019s best waves and internationally known as the premier big wave of the area. A big peak that almost always has a wave. Can get 20ft + on big days. Pretty much every day one will see local surfers getting barrelled here!\u00a0 Main Break is not only popular amongst surfers, it\u2019s kind-a-tourist-attraction as well as it\u2019s situated right along some nice kliffs on top of which one has a perfect view over the action in the break. Tourist busses stop here, people getting off the bus, starring down and taking a tourist-shot of the surf&#8230;too funny!\u00a0 During big swell days, main break can get rather busy. Those days surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfers, all at the same time and at the same spot try to get their wave-fix and not rarely there\u2019s some disagreements as to who has the right of way&#8230;\u00a0 Just a couple of days ago a surfer decided to jump off his surfboard, way out there at main break, and to jump onto the back of a kitesurfer who had ignored the right of way, stealing the priority off the surfer! Yep, it&#8217;s war zone out there, so make sure you know what you&#8217;re doing and please stick to the rules in the surf!!<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0\u00a0 l o v e\u00a0 this place, kitesurfing main break is unreal and the natural beauty around is simply mindblowing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been waiting for this day for a loooong time, F I N A L L Y\u00a0 I am in Margaret River!
