1000SG WINS Dukes Day Shorts!

Dukes Day celebrates our community’s love and respect for the ocean and the environment. 2015 was the 100th year anniversary of Duke Kahanamoku Igniting Australia’s Surf Culture and the spirit of Aloha!

Duke's Day, in association with Panasonic, supported the opportunity for an emerging film-maker to create a short film to be played on the big outdoor screen on the Saturday night of the Dukes Day!



A big thanks to Rhiannon Bannenberg from The Ridge Productions and Panasonic for the brand new GH-4 camera! I look forward

Gui Matias Makes A COFFIN † BOARD

Gui Matias sent me a link to the making of his 3'3" Coffinboard which featured on his BLOG. Good to see he went all out by glassing the nose and tail, unlike the 1000SG duct tape models!

If you've made a coffin †, or plan to make one let 1000SG know!

Contemporary 'Surf' Artist: Scott Redford

I came across Australian artist Scott Redford. I really liked his large scale approach to sculpture/installation and the mixture of surf culture with commercial signage + the broken boards!

"Scott Redford is a leading Australian artist who has firmly placed his home town, Queensland's Gold Coast, on the contemporary art map. This major solo exhibition showcases his development of the fictitious character Reinhardt Dammn in dialogue with key works from the last decade. 'Scott Redford: Introducing Reinhardt Dammn' includes surfboard sculptures, videos and paintings, suites of fibreglass objects and canvases with shiny, highly coloured acrylic surfaces"

The RERIP Story

At 'The Graveyard Exhibition' event night I showed PART 3 of the ReRip stroy. I've posted the full story here because it highlights a successful way of collecting surfboards in the US where the aim is to reuse and resell them... could this happen in Australia?
