Jingeri Jimbelung [Hello, my friends].
This Aboriginal greeting is from the Kombumerri people, one of the Yugambehspeaking clans on the Gold Coast.
A nation of many nations, Earth’s largest island and its surrounding oceans link to the oldest living culture in the world. We invite you to deepen your connection to what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples call “Sea Country”.
Kungullanji (in Yugmabeh) means to “contemplate” or “think deeply”. There’s space in our circle ready for you, so sit around our beach fire, stare into its flames, breathe in the salty air and kungullanji “The Six Pillars”, the foundation of every surfing life: Travel, Boards, Culture, Waves, Technique, and Surfers.
This is how we share knowledge, stories, and leave footprints on the beach for future generations to see how we ventured—bravely, respectfully, whole-heartedly—
adding more thigh-slapping tales because the ocean humbles us again and again and again.
Winter, an old Germanic word meaning “time of water”,1 is when surfers enjoy the glories of groundswells and crisp offshores. Earth tracks around the sun on its elliptical path. From June to August, night dominates, temperatures fall to their lowest, and we sip our hot brews to quiet our primal struggles. The winter solstice marks the earliest sunset and longest night of the year: Southern Hemisphere ( June 22) and Northern Hemisphere (Dec 22).
