Eating Waves @ the Driftwood Gallery
Last Friday evening, the Driftwood Gallery in Newquay cast light into a dreary Cornish evening with their Eating Waves evening of surf art.
One for the girls
For many years I dreamed of having a board shaped and signed by Donald Takayama. So when, last spring, I returned from Bali with my favourite longboard smashed to pieces – thanks to the airline – I decided to take the plunge and have one shipped over from California.
Ricardo y Ricardo
When planning last year’s winter escape to Panama, we (misguidedly) thought that Heathrow airport would be quiet on Christmas day. But the hoards of other travellers stuck in stupidly long queues was just one in a line of disasters, some of which will be familiar to those who like to travel with boards in tow…
Changing my mind
Me and competitions don’t usually mix well. Very often the waves are disappointing and I get so nervous I can’t even surf. I enjoy the freedom of simply surfing far more than competing.
The importance of a good work ethic
In the commercial and industrialised operation that global surfboard production has become, the value of people and community have largely been lost. Recently we had the opportunity to chat to Malcolm Campbell, the creator of the Bonzer (a Drift feature is on its way), about his views on the globalisation of the surfboard industry.

Those Bagus Days
After my planned trip to the longboard heaven of Costa Rica had to be aborted for various reasons, I found myself on a plane heading for Bali.
