Drift @ howies – 21 November

November 14, 2009 | Words By: Angela

photo-by-jamie-bottDate for your diaries, folks – on Saturday 21 November Drift is taking over the howies store in Bristol for a day of surf-related entertainment.

Roll up, roll up… step inside and check out hand-made boards from Royal, Laminations, Glass Tiger, Seed Surf Company, Trim and Ocean Green; as well as a whole heap of visual candy from the Drift collective and beyond for you to browse and buy.

Things kick off at 11am, and Surfers Against Sewage will be rounding off the day with a workshop at 3pm.

We would like to thank all those folk making the trek to the big city to show off their work, but we’ve got to extend a particularly hearty “Cheers!” to our lovely local brewers the Bristol Beer Factory for providing us with some party fuel for later on.
