Hello Surfrider Foundation Friends,

We had a successful night at our 'How to Fix a Ding Tutorial' with Jesse Watson from Black Apache Surfboards. Thanks to all those who came and gained a plethora knowledge from Jesse.

Click here and check out some of Jesse Watson's sick boards.

Next month 10/8, Surfrider Foundation is laying low with only a committee meeting, that is open to all members, and then in September we are jumping back with an environmental lecture and a dune care in North Kirra. We have also just confirmed that we will be the opening event for Kirra Surf Stock in November. Good times to come.

See you in the water,

HOW TO FIX A DING TUTORIAL


Sunday, 4 July 2010


Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed presents How To Fix A Ding Tutorial

WHEN: Tuesday 13 July 2010

TIME: 7pm - 8.30pm

WHERE: Kirra Surfriders Club (below Kirra SLSC)

COST: FREE

Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed is starting to host tutorials on sustainable surfing. On Tuesday 13 July, Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed and Black Apache Surfboards are partnering to present the inaugural DIY tutorial - "How to Fix a Ding Tutorial" at the Kirra Surfriders Club.

Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed desires to present regular gatherings to teach the surfing community how to live and surf sustainably with the resources we have on a daily basis.

"Why would you pay $70 to fix a dinged rail to a local shaper if you had the knowledge to do it yourself? The surfing community has always been a self-sufficient people group, trying to live as simply as they can. Surfrider Foundation wants to keep that mantra at the forefront of our surfing and lifestyle. We are also excited to partner with the up-and-coming Black Apache Surfboards," said Adam Feichtmann, President of Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed.

When surfing was introduced into Australia, surfers were forced to learn and do everything themselves. With the advancement of modern technology and popularity of surfing, the Do It Yourself mindset nearly died. Surfrider Foundation Gold Coast Tweed as a surfing environmental organization, wants to bring that attitude back to surfing; one, for the joy it entails, and two, to draw awareness to the damage people can cause to the oceans, beaches, and waves by not being wise about their resources.
