Noosa round-up
“We have just experienced the best Noosa Festival of Surfing ever!” That’s what Bob McTavish said as he watched Noosa’s first point peel perfectly for hundreds of metres during the Festival. It was as if Godly forces were at work, bringing in the swell of a lifetime to the points in time for the contest.
For Wegener Surfboards, the Festival was great fun and gave us lots of publicity. We caught up with hundreds of our best friends in our shack at surf city and revelled in the success of the finless surfing movement.
And so to the highlight of my European Tour…
I’m bombing down the A38 at 7am, not a car in sight and the hoards of grockle traffic heading our way probably delayed by the inevitable tailback around Brizzle.
My slight obsession with the wonderful world of wooden surf craft has been going on for a few years now.
Alaia guru Tom Wegener is coming to Europe for a series of one-day workshops. Here’s your chance to meet the man himself and shape your very own genuine Wegener alaia…
The Spanish and French sections of our European tour are coming to an end… Matt and I have made a lot of boards and a lot of friends.
Late nights! The Spanish do not sleep much. The first night of the festival the BBQ started at 10pm and the movies followed running into to the next morning.
We’re getting from great waves over here in Spain. We’re currently on our way to the Salinas Surf Festival, meeting lots of people along the way and turning them onto the alaia. These photos of Tuesday’s session come courtesy of my friend
