An art-filled diary for surfers and nature lovers to be launched internationally in 2010, just in time for Christmas.


Swim into a world of blue cascades, open your eyes to the break of the day and jot down your hopes and dreams for the coming year, as the world’s best surf photographers and emerging artists capture you on a journey in the Happy Days Diary 2011. To be launched in Nov, 2010, the Happy Days Diary combines a practical weekly diary with the stoke of surfing, the beauty of the oceans, the joy of art and the call for a sustainable world.

In a culture dependent on modern technological gadgetry to record reminders for meetings and important dates, Happy Days Diary 2011 defies digital trends and offers something for those who still like to scribble down their thoughts and ideas in note form. The diary features 200+ pages of street and surf art alongside surf spot descriptions, feature stories on the marine environment, and plenty of space for notes and drawings, with weekly to do lists and holiday dates.
