Nick Vasicek, running through Kirra, Gold Coast

Oh, Kirra, what treasures she holds. See that man tucked away there, barely visible between rock and sheet glass? It’s Nick Vasicek, and what you can’t see is that he’s actually a goofyfooter, parked it in this thing, burning down the line. The Gold Coast has been under some heat of late, with plans to build a cruise ship terminal being opposed by locals (a majority of whom are surfers, since the development ain’t gonna be too great for some of Australia’s most well-known spots). Reckon Nick here is concerned about the development? When a stretch of beach that offers up moments like this is under threat, it’d be hard not to be.
