The popularity of the event was evident from the steady rumble of chatter that emanated from those shuffling around inspecting the art on show. As the evening went on the drinks flowed and Tom Mounsey entertained the crowd with his blues notes and rhythm guitar.

The event was very sociable and provided a great opportunity for artists to display their work. It was refreshing to see art from around Devon and Cornwall alongside internationally acclaimed artists such as Wolfgang Bloch and John Severson, to name but two. There was a variety of work on show, including mixed media, photography and paintings outlining the depth of creativity and lack of cliché in quality modern surf art.

I walked away from another great exhibition yet again filled with inspired for my own work.

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.
