BYRON GETS SET TO CELEBRATE<br />
From all accounts the Byron Surf Festival appears to have set a benchmark<br />
for other surf festivals to follow. Last year’s inaugural celebration was a huge<br />
success with surfing legends such as Dick Hoole, George Greenough, Alby<br />
Falzon, Taylor Steele, Tom Wegener, Andrew Kidman, Neal Purchase Jnr, Rusty<br />
Miller, Danny Wills, Mick Waters and the like attending and contributing to<br />
what was considered by many to be one very special festival.<br />
It’s on again this year from Friday 26-28 October and is shaping up to be even<br />
better. This three-day fusion of community focused events highlight the creative<br />
culture within surfing including surf-art, music, film, photography, surf markets,<br />
workshops, surf history display, kids stART me up events, surf swap meet,<br />
freestyle&stoke expression session, surf demo’s, mermaids, charities...<br />
There will be a number of ‘Surf Culture Now’ events being hosted all around<br />
beautiful Byron town and it’s beaches with the Opening Ceremony Friday 26th<br />
Oct being held at the Byron Bay Brewery & Buddha Bar, which is shaping up to<br />
be a night not to be missed.<br />
This year there will be other additions to the festivities including beach debris<br />
art creations, more surf legends and environmental kids projects as well as a<br />
‘Surf Shorts’ short film competition where budding surf film makers get a chance<br />
to present their 7min short films to a esteemed panel of judges.<br />
For the winner and runner-ups there are some amazing prizes up for grabs,<br />
including a film mentorship from a renowned surf filmmaker and a screening<br />
at the 2013 Byron Bay International Film Festival and all final 5 entrants will be<br />
shown on the Saturday night 27th Oct at the Byron Community Centre before the<br />
Taylor Steele film premier ‘This Time Tomorrow.‘<br />
