| Surfline | Narrabeen (729 words) |
 | Narrabeen -- part of Sydney's famous northern beaches stretch -- lies at the northern end of a broad three-mile stretch of sand, bounded at its southern end by Collaroy Beach and a massive rock tidal platform known as Long Reef. |
 | Narrabeen's powerful, steep hotdog waves were perfect for the kind of ultra-creative surfing practiced by this crew; many features of what we now consider to be modern high-performance surfing got their first real workouts here, particularly the vertical elements both frontside and backside. |
 | Narrabeen in the '80s was a hotbed for champion kneeboarders, including two-time world champion Michael Novakov and the incomparable Simon Farrar, who patrols the beach in summer as a top city lifeguard. |
