BYRON BAY SURF FESTIVAL
2013 October 25 -27th
The festival is blossoming to
its byronesque best, flowering a newly renovated program that's stacked, packed
and budding with cool. The three-day event is a unique intersection between surf, art, music, film and the local
Byron Bay community lifestyle. The festival kicks off with a free Friday night film premiere under the
stars, followed by the Saturday all-day gypsy surf art market/ pop up tipi
precinct, colorful Sunday surfing events and demos at Wategos beach and film,
music, party and panel events scheduled each evening. Creative film is a strong
feature this year with two major film premieres; Bella Vita featuring
Chris Del Moro and Unchartered waters featuring Wayne Lynch, and the
surf shorts film comps comprising of local and international entries. Patagonia
surfer Keith Malloy will be introducing The Plight of the Torpedo People bodysurfing presentation at the community center, alongside the
loggin’ panel with Belinda Baggs and a controversial live dissertation on ‘the
state of the art of surfing’ by Derek Hynd. Up on Main beach, bear witness to
Surf Yoga sessions, Helidrone demos and handplane/skateboard/bellyboard
workshops amongst an art and photography show saturated with unconventional art
pieces, live music, surfboard shaper exhibits, vintage motor delights, gourmet
food and surf literature stalls with book launches where you can gaze, mingle,
read, obtain, listen, dance, eat or just chill. Corona hands out $1000 cash prize
money on Sunday at Wategos beach Party Wave Invitational (open to all)
alongside Malloy’s body surf jazz, style based contests, tandem exhibition and
what was last years most applauded event, the Surf Swap Meet. On top of all
this comes a stellar lineup of music, headlined by Wolf & Cub’s new album release
at the Beach Hotel, after parties with The Delta Riggs and tons of magical
acoustic market musicians. Keep an eye on new announcements and go feast on the program now @ www.byronbaysurffestival.com/program/
