ZE CLICHé

My friend Brandon just spent a few weeks 'down under' filming for a project he is working on involving 70's-esque surfboards. Here are a few stills he shot from the water on a couple of cloudier days. Top to Bottom: Ze Lucky Chalm Spitting, Lucky Down Under, Panda Spotting.

"___"

The Premier/Party of "___" is Friday 25th September at SeaCell Gallery 4/1 Acacia St Byron Bay Arts Estate. From what I've seen the movie looks quite entertaining and is far from the norm of the indie sound tracked air reverse filled surf films of today (minus a few! Relax!). Come along and check it out for youself, will be a fun night.

Undressing part of Cherries

Here's a few pages from my new zine I blogged about below that was featured in the "Zine Age Riot" at SeaCell from the weekend. Was a great day, props to the SeaMen and Craig from Teeluxe for organizing the event. For a copy of "That's Cherries" and other zines that were in the event click this link.

Lach Stock and a few smokin' photos

Thief they call me.  What ever!  Here are s few shot I stole from Lachie's blog.  These were taken last week down in Byron at the SeaCell when I picked up my new log.  Top shot has nothing to do with anything, I just like Joel's shirt.

I don't Cell Sea Cell's by the Sea Shore

Dain Thomas shaper of SeaSurfboards finished my log and is only days away from receiving a surf.  Went down to Byron a couple of days ago and put my final touches on the deck before it receives a finish coat and fin box.  And for the record the board looks fricken tight! Cheers Dain, and thanks Matt Swaggeth for the photo!

Garry Swaggeth

This is one of my best friends Matt Yaetes (aka Garry Swaggy).  Matt is a good buddy of mine and also my "manager" so to speak when necessary.  This is a shot taken from Seasurfboards who took it from inbyronbaytoday.  Matt was pretty stoked on the shot as this was the first hang-five he's ever landed.

Love Boat

Once again, today I am a thieving bastard. This is a shot one of my good buddys Matt Yaetes took of me riding the Love Boat whilst on our road trip to Syd's Knee and back. This is the 2nd surfboard Dain Thomas (shaper of Sea Surfoards and new offspring maker) ever made, modelled of a Bob McTavish. Where did I steal this one from? www.seasurfboards.com. Thanks Garry
