Good Vibrations treats people to a 'blast from the past' surf comp
Sep 06, 2010
The Good Vibrations surf competition was held yesterday...and what a day it was. Filled with sun, surf and single fin shenanigans. The event gave its guests a chance to chill out on Canggu beach and watch locals, pro's and your average Joe's battle it out in a 'blast from the past' surf comp straight outta the 70's
Ride any shape pre '82 was the only rule, with some competitors going all out, sporting retro surf apparel and facial hair that would make Tom Selleck weep.
After it was all said and done the party moved to the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm for a good ol' fashioned prize giving. Finalists received some custom 'fin bling' curtosy of the Smokin' Skull and overall winner Asher Pacey was the proud recipient of a brand new Deus Customs shred stick.
The party kicked into overdrive when the 'single fin' exhibit merged with the prize giving and we had both surfers and art aficionados under one roof.
(Due to the hazy line between the prize giving ending and the art exhibit starting, photos of the comp winners are coming in the next post!)
Slidetoberfest is what happens when you throw boards, bikes, and Bali into a blender and forget to put the lid on. Born to celebrate the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm’s opening, at fifteen years of age, it’s an annual excuse for organised mayhem… part pilgrimage, part piss-take, all heart.
Some projects start with a vision, others start with a tear-down. This one began as a brand-new 2024 Triumph Bonneville T100, and quickly became something else entirely.
The crack of dawn on a Saturday saw us chuckin' three of our race bikes into the back of the van. The crew was buzzing. We’d got a call from the Tasik Adventure mob, and when they say they're throwing a party, you just show up, no questions asked.
