25.01.2022 Got a friend in the Gong printing some of our 'mp cutback' tees and the MP 'off the top' tee. Original watercolour art by Jamie Kasdaglis, inspired by the frame-grab of Michael Peterson from Albe Falzon's Morning Of The Earth' film (1973) and the original 35mm 'off the top' photo by Dick Hoole 1976, Burleigh Heads.

25.01.2022 Ron Perrott 19351991 Did any of you know this mysterious man? He took some of the finest surfing photographs of the 1960s era.... The majority of this early time was spent on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, where he grew up. Many of his images of the Bower, Dee Why Point, Narrabeen, and Manly appeared in most major international and local surfing magazines of the time. In the late 60s, Ron traveled to Europe and later settled in South Africa where he continued his love of surf photography. Ron was one of the first surf photographers to visit The Seychelles. In 1967 word had gone out in Durban that there might be waves there so Ron negotiated an article for American Surfer and signed on as crew on a trimaran to get there. Some surf was ultimately found and a story published. Two of Ron’s best-known photos are of Dave Jackman and Midget. His photo of Jackman riding the Queenscliff bombora made big news and gave surfing a positive public profile in Australia. His photo of Midget doing the cutback that pretty much clinched for him the 64 World Championship has appeared in just about every surfing journal. He was respected by all the great surfers as a genuine, quiet guy with a terrific eye for a good picture. In his later life, he spent time in New Zealand as a commercial photographer, later returning to Australia where he settled on the north coast until, sadly, he died in 1991....but no-one knows much more than that. His archives are preserved by his nephew. Some of his work is published in the SwitchFoot 3 book, https://hodaddy.com.au//switchfoot-the-other-side-of-surfi

25.01.2022 Marty Tullemans shot of Michael Peterson... "Cat on a hot tin roof'. Tullemans : 'Michael Peterson was surfing’s ‘dark knight’ and a positive came out of the negative of him holding back the marketing and progress of professional surfing becoming commercially viable. MP’s invite to the Hawaiian surf contest of the era, the Smirnoff Invitational, arrived the day the contest started. MP requested me to take this photo, it appeared shortly after it was taken in Tracks Magazine.... Surfings ‘dark knight’ raised the bar of surfing high performance that high, the other guys played catch up tennis. Michael busted down the door of surfing high performance and the other guys busted down the door of economic marketability.' Please see previous posts about the fundraising we are doing to help Martin Tullemans...who has dementia. Now is a good time to order a photo taken by Marty, all profits go to him directly. If you want more examples of his work, please email me... We are offering this round wall decal until Next Friday also... and can do decals on all our imagery. https://hodaddy.com.au//stuff/pr/soul-arch-tullemans-decal

20.01.2022 Can anyone identify this surfer? Shot on 35mm film by Dick Hoole in the mid 1970s, Lovely photo,

20.01.2022 The Golden Era of surfing films. In 1966, Bruce Brown’s 'Endless Summer' became the greatest selling surf film of all time. It still is. The success of that film in the theatres of the day inspired many others to make surfing films; the allure of surfers lining up and paying a few $ to watch afforded the film-maker the funds to make the film and finance the surfing lifestyle, which let's face it, is every surfer's ambition; creating enough money to just be able to go surfing...Continue reading

19.01.2022 Bells Beach, Victoria Australia. Dawn. Sending aloha to all my Victorian friends, who have been in lockdown for what seems like months. I hope you are coping the best that you can, getting out of the home for a walk or a surf and riding the 2020 'wave of weirdness' with some sense of knowing that there will be an end....and with that end, there will be a newness....another swell, a new pulse that is perhaps cleaner and more consistent than the last. Prints of this beauty available via http://watermarksphotogallery.com.au/

17.01.2022 12 year old Shaun Thomson, from Bob Evan's 7th film 'The Way We Like It' 1967 and 'Family Free'....neither availble as DVD or download.

09.01.2022 Such classic scenes shot on 16mm film by Steve Core. In Natural Flow is to Morning Of The Earth what The Kinks are to The Beatles. Are those red trunks MP is wearing the same ones he wore in MOTE and is it true that a collector paid $23, 000 for them? Happily Steve Core, who made the film, never let the rights go for pirated digital downloads - so if you want to watch the film, you have to BUY it from him at the link below. https://hodaddy.com.au/collect//products/old-surfing-films

08.01.2022 Surf Window - Currumbin 1964. Had a lot of fun making this one. This old hardwood is fun to work with. https://hodaddy.com.au/products/surf-windows-currumbin-1964

08.01.2022 The best archival footage of Noosa Heads on film. How is that action as they drive over the hill and see Laguna Bay at it's best. All time. The fact it showcases how far ahead the genius George Greenough was, further adds to its place in surfing history. Great film.

08.01.2022 PHOTOGRAPHER IN FOCUS: Dave Milnes. Dave took some ripper photos in the 1960s, this is one of my favorites. "The Wollongong Board Club organized a bus trip to Crescent. They made up the racks to put their boards on the roof. I wasn’t able to go but they had a great time except for the racks breaking on the trip. A few bits of rope fixed the problem."...Continue reading

06.01.2022 2 min showcase of some frames we made back in 2016. Finally back in the shed to make some more, after sourcing some lovely old hardwood windows to restore and love. If you are interested in a custom frame, or feature wall, now would be a good time to sling me a message.

05.01.2022 R.I.P Peter Green - the greatest (white-skinned) blues guitarist of all time?... aka Fleetwood Mac BEFORE Stevie Nicks (singer) took the band into mainstream popularity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srXfo0tKmtI (it is silly that white or black skin even enters the equation)

05.01.2022 Broken Head - 1963. Photograph shot on 35mm film by John Pennings 57 years ago, you can learn more about his work at this link. Only available at HODADDY. https://hodaddy.com.au/products/broken-head-line-up

05.01.2022 Lennox Head 1973 by Peter Green. 'Don't distroy what you came to enjoy' This is such an iconic image. ... Looks great PRINTED, full colour! Peter Green took the photo. He left California in the early 1970s, simply chasing the empty perfection that was Northern NSW at the time. Armed with his Nikonos waterproof 35mm film camera and a tonne of passion, he captured an era that was quite possibly the definition of surfing utopia; living cheap at the Broken Head caravan park, where 3 months work in Sydney would create enough money to spend the rest of the year chasing waves in the rural dream that was Lennox Head and Byron Bay. Peter Green has some beautiful photos, they are all full colour and you can see some of them at the link below. Prints start at $150, https://hodaddy.com.au/search?q=peter+green

05.01.2022 Martin Tullemans R.I.P - Ocean memorial December 27th at 7am, Coolangatta Surf Club. Martin Tullemans delivered some of the finest Queensland surfing images for Tracks Magazine in the 1970’s focusing on the golden tanned ‘coolie’ kids of that generation who later went on to be superstars. Some of his 35mm photos of MP, Peter Townend and Rabbit are as iconic as they come. His beautiful empty lineup photos of Burleigh and Old Kirra and his water photography from the 1970s and ...1980s were as good as anyones....but Marty will be remembered for his 'bee in a bottle' type of voracious energy for surfing, nature, qi gong, health, art and the mystiques of the cosmos. Marty Tullemans : "When your life force is tucked into the pulse and palm of nature’s hand in a tube or time capsule, both entities throbbing, fully alive on all that cosmic synchronicity jive you are briefly suspended and merged in timelessness. What is happening within is mirrored withoutBefore you can flow you have to learn to let go. We are pilgrims of the endless summer journey. Doing the dance for dollars as opposed to doing the dance simply for the LOVE is as different as listening to heavy metal versus reggae music. The true goal of the surf journey is that it is a magic road to the endless summer where the buried treasure lies." There will be an ocean memorial 27th December 7am outside Coolangatta slsc.

05.01.2022 I am going to offend you. Social media is forcing people down narrow corridors, that are sterile and 2 dimensional (at best).the dimensions are YES and NO, and that is (completely) a devolution to our species. Where is the discussion? ... If I say to you ‘I like Donald Trump’, should that immediately lead to a string of comments of ‘me too’ and/or ‘I hate him’? Nothing in between? Sorry to use old Donald as an example, but I fear we are all too stupid now (myself included) to actually think about anything. Single fins are fun to surf on. Cue human responses ‘yeah i agree’ or ‘no I fkn hate them’. Are we seriously evolving into Yes/No people? Here is some hope for you.I like instrumental jazz music from a period from about 1962-1970 (best) and ideally with less than 4 musiciansand if you like heavy metal and HATE the style of music I like, it does not bother me, we can still, be friends. I don’t particularly like Trump, but if you do - then we can still have medicinal tea and talk about something else.or you can give me your ‘make America great again’ hat (the red one) and I can wear it around Mullumbimby and finally everyone will avoid me. - seriously, there is always an upside. *Photo 1965 by John Pennings.

04.01.2022 Dolphins.... Dolphins make us feel blessed, by their mere presence. Be like a dolphin, Be a rainbow to others on their cloudy day. Shelli Bankier took this photo - looks great in a frame. ... https://hodaddy.com.au/search?q=dolphin See more

03.01.2022 pre-legrope Pipeline Hawaii, these guys inspired gonad man. Down rails, hard edges in the tail, sideslipping single fins. Pioneers. Photo Dick Hoole - wonder who the surfer is? I wonder how everyone is out there in this watery blue planet, spinning in the strange 2020 epoch. Sending my best wishes as always and hope you are getting outside, surfing and talking with friends or nature. Andrewc
