INTO THE<br />
SPIRIT OF<br />
THINGS<br />
The sixth annual<br />
BaliSpirit Festival (Mar<br />
20-24) is nearly here.<br />
It’s not too late to book<br />
tickets to this spiritually charged event that celebrates yoga,<br />
dance and music - which includes Sunshine Coast dub/dance act OKA<br />
(above). Attracting top yoga and dance instructors, healers, musicians<br />
and several thousand guests over fi ve days and four nights, the event<br />
involves daytime workshops, world music concerts and holistic healing<br />
sessions. The festival emphasises giving back to the local Balinese<br />
community through creative and meaningful outreach initiatives.<br />
All up, it’s a good excuse to get to Bali. See www.balispiritmedia.com<br />

NOT BAD FOR A NEWBY<br />
Grant Newby, the man behind the Alley Fish Fry and Wooden Surfboards<br />
Show & Ride, has begun making his own line of surfboards – and not just<br />
for him to ride! The boards are Paulownia vacuum bagged over EPS with a<br />
lanolin finish. Says Grant, “The raw wood feel is something that just blows<br />
people away.” And reportedly, there’s no need for wax. The boards become<br />
‘sticky’ as soon as they’re wet. “It is fun to watch peoples reaction when<br />
they come back after riding the boards. They float so well and you can surf<br />
them so much shorter than you ever imagined.”<br />
