SOUTHERN VIEW
Celebration of surfing
THE THIRD annual
week-long celebration of surfing
in New Brighton and the visit of
legendary Hawaiian surfer Duke
Kahanamoku opens on Sunday.
The Ray White New Brighton
Duke Festival of Surfing is
organised by the New Brighton
Pier and Foreshore Promotion
Society and is the largest and
most varied surfing event in New
Zealand.
It celebrates Kahanamoku,
who is said to have introduced
surfing to New Zealand and
surfed in New Brighton in
1915.
What’s happening:
Sunday – The Boardroom
exhibition
The festival will launch with
The Boardroom exhibition in
New Brighton Mall, a display of
more than 100 surfboards.
The display is a time line
exhibition of loaned surfboards
over the past 70 years.
It will showcase varying
types, different designs and
materials used, as well as
historical displays of surfing
photographs with a focus on
New Brighton.
COMPETITION: North Wai Boardriders Club’s Estella Hungerford will be a top contender in the age group events.
Wednesday, March 14 – The
Stoke Art Exhibition 2018
This exhibition pulls together
creative people who find
common ground in surfing and
will explore what it is about
surfing that causes creative
drive, whether it is a physical,
emotional, visual, procedural or
metaphysical response, or
simply coincidence. It will be
shown in Fiksate Gallery and
will feature a range of emerging
and established artists from
both New Zealand and
overseas.
Friday, March 16 – outdoor
movie night
There will be two films shown
at the New Brighton amphitheatre.
The children’s movie is
Disney’s Moana and the second
is supported by the Aotearoa
Surf Film Festival with a feature
film Fish People and two short
surf films.
Friday, March 16, and
Saturday, March 17 – surfing
competition
The surfing competition begins
with the age group shortboard
events. Surfers from around
New Zealand and Australia
have confirmed entries. Age
groups include under-12 all the
way through to under-20 and
will feature a number of local
surfers such as Ava Henderson,
Estella Hungerford and Myka
Black. Ava and Estella recently
won their events at the Billabong
contest in Whangamata.
On Saturday, the longboard
events will begin with a range of
top competitors in all age groups
from the open premier sections
through to the over-40 women’s
and over-60 men’s.
There will also be open men’s
and women’s logger events,
which will provide some old
school surfing styles with more
traditional moves on heavier
single-fin longboards.
Saturday, March 17 – concert
There will be a smorgasbord
meal at the New Brighton Club
followed by a rock concert
featuring Soaked Oats, a South
Island band with a growing
reputation, and local band
Run77.
‘Water and Light’, it’s all around us and nowhere
more so than on the Banks Peninsula.
As small outcrop of volcanic rock jutting out into
the Southern Ocean we are surrounded on all
sides, and nowhere
is that interplay
between water and
light more evident.
The Little River
Gallery is proud to
host Philip Beadle’s
latest work, inspired
by the landscapes
of the Plains and
Peninsula.
Using a mixture of oil, watercolour, drypoint
and monotype, Philip’s work is as varied as the
landscapes he depicts.
Christchurch based Philip Beadle, whether
working with the human form or drawing
inspiration from the low sun on water agitated
by wind, uses the Canterbury environment to
inform his work.
Warm and inviting, cold and forgiving, water
and light are constant but also forever changing.
‘Water and Light’ is showing at
Little River Gallery from 10th March
to 4th April.
