Quiksilver Crossing Event 2004

Quiksilver Crossing Event Information!
Quiksilver Crossing Event Information

"The Quiksilver Crossing is a voyage of surfing discovery on board the surf exploration vessel, the Indies Trader. The boat left Papua New Guinea in March 1999 and has journeyed east across the South Pacific, Indonesia and the Mentawais, across the Indian Ocean to the Maldives, South Africa, through the Mediterranean to Europe, Brazil and is currently exploring Central America and the Caribbean. Scientific data is being collected on isolated reefs and this is being collated for the United Nations-supported Reef Check program. Another important aspect of the Crossing is respect for, and interaction with, local cultures. .

By nature, surfers travel to explore and find new surfing areas. At Quiksilver we are passionate about surfing and we would like to see more areas around the world preserved primarily for surfing. .

The full complement is 13 people. The crew consists of the captain and the cook and three Indonesian crew-members. There are also eight berths in four cabins and the people usually change every two weeks. The usual makeup of a trip is four surfers, one marine biologist, a stills photographer and a cinematographer. Sometimes a writer is on board, or else another stills photographer or surfer. .

The Crossing route is determined by a small management group including the captain of the Indies Trader, Martin Daly, project director Bruce Raymond, from Quiksilver International, and the pro staff including team managers and sponsored surfers. They take into account weather forecasts, marine charts and the distance between island chains. .

The prime objective is to go surfing. The boat moors overnight in a safe anchorage out of the weather and hopefully near a prime surf spot. If the swell is up, everyone goes surfing. If there is no swell, the marine biologist on board may lead a Reef Check expedition, documenting the condition of a nearby reef. Meanwhile, the regular crew work on the upkeep of the boat. A usual two-week trip involves scouting for new locations, sometimes in the dinghy to check spots near the main anchorage. .

The Indies Trader is a 75-foot diving and survey vessel constructed of steel with an aluminum wheelhouse. It weighs 95 tonnes and has a cruising speed of eight knots. It was originally built in Brisbane, Australia, in 1972 and was rebuilt in Singapore in 1992. In 1999 it was specifically customized for the Crossing and has been painted with a Polynesian motif.

Thousands of photographs have been already been taken, plus 16mm film and video footage. Articles are regularly appearing in surfing and mainstream publications around the world. The Crossing has it's own annual magazine which began in 2002, called Explorations. Videos and television documentaries will also be produced focusing not just on the surfing but also the scientific and cultural aspects of the journey."

The “Tower” stands as the best place to view our beautiful coastline and it includes a 360- degree wrap around view of this wonderful beach haven. The National Park Service resurfaced the Nature Trail Boardwalk that leads to one the best Surfing spots in the local area; “Backpacks” & “Poles” named in 2003 during the awesome Hurricane season. The break is from the “Stairs” to the “Poles” and during an ESE swell with Northwest winds, it will provide a great ride in excess of one football field.

From the stairs, one will witness a gorgeous sunset just waiting for those seeking a romantic evening. A beautiful wildlife habitat yet the pesky mosquito’s can carry you away during their morning and dusk blood drives! Have insect repellent handy or visit the Rangers station during scheduled working hours for a dose. These mosquito’s will bite through Skin So Soft!

We work closely with the National Park Service at the FINS and conduct FREE SURFING SEMINARS during prescheduled visits. A great way to understand about Long Island plant & wildlife, please come and visit our home break and national park!

Don’t forget to visit the William Floyd Estate that is home to the Osprey!
