00:00As dawn breaks, a new feature is emerging on the shoreline.
00:08Not a high rise, rather an artist leaving his mark.
00:12Every day is different. The tides do different things.
00:16The beach does different things. People do different things.
00:20Mal Leckie had enjoyed a daily surf here for 50 years
00:24until Long Covid threw his balance.
00:27This new tradition has helped to fill the void while keeping him close to the water.
00:32It's good for the core and I'm out of bed. This is the main thing.
00:36It's simple but effective.
00:38Each piece takes about an hour and delivers an impressive sight to those early risers
00:43lucky enough to catch it.
00:45I think it's fantastic. It just brings another element to the beach
00:49and the kids just explore different things.
00:51So yeah, I've stopped to have a look at it too.
00:54It's free for everybody to see and what a great thing for the Gold Coast.
00:57We were wondering what it was in the sand actually.
00:59So yeah, that was lovely.
01:01It's far from solitary and the designs have even helped to foster friendship.
01:07It's the beautiful moment of just watching other people share the joy.
01:11It's a community.
01:12Waves reclaim the art soon after it's complete but Mal doesn't mind.
01:17If you can learn to lose this every day and then apply it to other areas of your life,
01:24it's a lot easier.
