Nice longboard spots in Australian?!
Me and my girlfriend are going to move to Australia for a half year or so. We are from Sweden and are really interest in longboard. I do both ride downhill and freeride. But we have not chosen where to live yet so i wonder where the best place is too live if you enjoy riding longboard? We are two crazy Swedes who likes to meet cool people and ride some nice hills! We would also like too learn how to surf!?
Please just comment on this if you know any good spots, crazy towns, awesome people!
Peace
Ludwig

Sydney also had the advantage of being more central to the rest of (east coast) Australia so its easier to get to other places for events and cheeky sessions.

Not much surf in Adelaide?!? Mate... You gotta look out the window when your driving around!
Jacko said:adelaide sure has some great hills, but its a very very small city and you will get bored as fuck very easily there. also not much surf around, and also the majority of skaters are under the age of 16 so you will have to battle with grommets all the time, and spend 80% of your time booted off the hills from police...
you want to move to sydney, thats where its at right now. theres great hills, great surf, great skate shop (www.hopkin.com.au) and some of the radest riders around. take a trip to adelaide once your here, but forget living there!

Also consider the Gold Coast or Brisbane. It would probably be easier to find an apartment and job in Brisbane and it is only a hour away from the gold coast. Gold coast has both surf and skate spots, and of course the legened himself, Stephen Daddow

New South Wales is FULL OF HILLS. stick to the cities if you need work, get into the country if you wanna see cool shit.
Hire or buy a van you can sleep in. Get some camping gear. Job done. Have fun!

There is plenty of surf in Radelaide. Our hills swap with your waves though, you gotta drive a while to get to hills, we drive the same distance to get to waves (not me anymore mind you, but those who surf).
Dunno why Sydney would be more exciting that Adelaide to live in? We have beaches, pubs, clubs, hills, skateparks, movies, shopping and pokies galore! We even have paintball! Dunno what you would get in Sydney that you wouldn't get anywhere else (except the Hop Shop of course!)
The cops are baaaaad in Radelaide though. If you don't like cops Ludwig then don't come to Radelaide, they hate skaters!

O, and what jacko said about the groms is right. You will do more driving and less skating in Radelaide than you would Sydney because only about 5 people in Radelaide have licenses at the moment. the rest are grommy groms with snotty noses and dirty hands.

Haha it sounds Nice guys, no i got some options. We will probably go around some too, not only stay in one city. I don't really like cops, here in Sweden they don't mind if you ride. Is it the same problem with the cops in Sydney? So its easy to find work i Brisbane? :) its really great with you answers i need all info i can get!
Peace!

in oz some cops will give you a hard time were as others wont some just dont know the rules on skaters. you can all ways find work if you dont get fussy any bucks are good bucks is the attitude you have to take. once your out of the cities the cops are thin on the ground where i live we only have two who only work 8hours a day and even then there hard to find.

There is a Finn living in Brisbane at the moment. Mr. Paska poika Ville. You might want to avoid Brisbane because he will keep reminding you of your shitty efforts in the ice hockey...
