Good Vibes 2013

The good guys at Drifter, Bali are hosting the 3rd "relatively annual" Good Vibes single fin surfing event at Tugu tomorrow. Wish we could join the fun but for those of you in the area here's the lowdown from Jake:

Boards will be provided by Jake on the day. Entrance/registration fee is 350000 rp. You get a grab bag containing a t- shirt, wax, surf yogis surf screen and one or two other cool items.

If you want to bring a board please do as a talking point and as an example of a classic single fin from back in the day the scoring criterium is what was used at all the OM BALI PRO'S.

Each and every finalist will win a board! and the Winner will get a custom Hot Butter from Terry the Sultan of speed himself. Registration kicks off 7:30am.

The Little Heroes

Good friend & great artist Drew Wellman has a show opening this Friday 31st at the Deus Temple in Canggu, Bali. This show celebrates the essence of surfing, the non-complicated joy of the ride. These are kids Drew has shot on his travels, riding whatever craft has been abandoned/salvaged/handed down and given an afterlife in paradise.

The show runs for 2 months and includes installations by Drew of the flotsam & jetsom that has washed up into his studio over the years. For more of an in depth read & pics head over to the Deus site here: http://id.deuscustoms.com/the-little-heroes-the-art-of-drew-wellman/

Not to be missed.
