Gold Coast 2019
Ashton Goggans is on Australia’s Gold Coast and speaks to Red Bull Airborne creator Josh Kerr.
By now you're aware that Caroline Marks beat Carissa Moore in the final of the Boost Mobile Pro on the Gold Coast Queensland, Australia, to hoist the first of what will no doubt be many WSL Championship Tour trophies – and will be donning a snappy new yellow jersey at the next event at Bells Beach down in Victoria.

Gold Coast highlights
Check out the best of the aerial surfing action from the first stop of Redbull Airborne 2019 in Australia.
Shot by Jacob Wooden, this year Stab's editor-in-chief Ashton Goggans is coming along to guide you through all that goes on in the background of a WSL event. It's a must-see showcase of everything extra that happens around the event and that you won't see in the webcast.
Sand, or lack thereof, has never been such a hot topic in surfing as the Quiksilver Pro was forced to relocate to its backup Gold Coast venue of Duranbah Beach amid much controversy. We bring you the lowdown on the sand pumping situation, then get on with taking you backstage as D-Bah served up ramps for days to allow Red Bull Airborne to launch in style.
As well as all of that, we've included a few surprises to keep you on your toes. We love this edit and sure hope you do too. Hit play now and enjoy the show.
