While at Taj's grand victory party (which he arrived via limo) TransWorld SURF's Chris Cote decided to get behind the camera and get some words of congratulations from Taj's peers (the best of the best in the surf world). Congrats TB!

Chelsea Hedges (AUS), 26, former ASP Women’s World Champion (2005), was in sizzling form this afternoon, posting an impressive 16.60 out of a possible 20 to dispatch of 2009 ASP World Runner-Up Silvana Lima (BRA), 25, in their Quarterfinal bout.

The remaining four heats of Round 3 of the Roxy Pro Gold Coast, the opening event of the ASP Women’s World Tour, have been called on this morning, with the first heat hitting the three-to-four foot (1 metre) waves at Snapper Rocks at 7:30am.

We crunched numbers, stats, and swell charts in the TransWorld SURF lab to find these six surefire spots for a perfect spring fling.

The crazy mates over at STAB are giving away VIP tickets to the Gold Coast premier of A Fly In The Champagne, which goes down at the Gold Coast Twin Towns complex on March 1st. All you've got to do is head here (stabmag.com/features/fly-in-the-champagne/), enter the drawing, and be at the whim of their Aussie musings.

Signs detailing the international Surfers' Code have been erected at the Gold Coast's most popular breaks in a bid to combat surf rage. An initiative of the Gold Coast City Council, Surfing Queensland and the Surfrider Foundation, the surfboard-shaped signs read 'Give respect to gain respect' and detail the do's and dont's of riding the waves.
