Got to hang out with an old buddy of mine today... 4-time World Surfing Champion, Newcastle's own Mark Richards.

MR launched Phil Jarratt's new book; Australia's Hottest 100 Surfing Legends.

You can check a reveiw on the surf movie Bustin Down The Door and learn more about MR's amazing story.

Inset: That's MR at Backdoor Pipeline in Hawaii, gracing the cover of the book.

I thought I would reach out to you and share our new Infographic that we have been working really hard on called The Toxicity of Surfing. The importance of keeping beaches clean cannot be stressed enough. Hidden in plain sight, the surf industry is wasteful and toxic. It is our goal to educate Surfers and help them make smarter decisions with what they ride. We hope that you would be willing to help us spread the word! Corey greensurfshop.com

Here is the documentary movie Searching for Michael Peterson

Hi Guys...A note from Steve Core

Below:

Underground Surf Swap Meet, Coolangatta. SAT 08 OCT '11

Great opportunity to catch up with some old friends and surfing legends yesterday.

I was shocked [in the nicest possible way] when I was standing out the front of Underground Surf in McClean Street Coolangatta yesterday, enjoying the vibe of the Vintage Swap Meet when I spotted Australian Surf Super-Legend, Michael Peterson, heading straight for me with a warm hand extended out and he said; "Hi Steve, remember me? Michael Peterson!"

How humbling.

I gave Dick Hoole my camera and he snapped this shot. Thanks Dick for capturing this great photo.

Australian made by a non surfer...... really diverse statement!!!

Can we see a photo of the guys who make surfboards surfing? The guy who markets surfboards surfing? We only ever see them laying on a board or carrying one..... BECAUSE THEY CANT SURF!!!! At least the guy from IP can surf.....

Dont buy boards from guys who cant surf better then you!!!

Indian Pacific surfboards made in China? My Indian Pacific surfboard collapsed after 4 weeks surfing....never mind where they are made...not good quality

Yes, Indian Pacific Surfboards says they are against surfboards made in China, but ship these epoxy surfboards to Australia by the container load.

Yeah.... Here is a company in Australia that is promoting not Made in China surfboards, but at the same time is selling epoxy boards made in china

A friend Steve Core a surf photography legend dropped into our surf shop and left a few copies of his truly classic movie 'Ocean Rhythms'. Ocean Rhythms has incredible vintage footage of the unique styles of many world class surfers of the day including MP, Rabbit, Mark Richards and P.T in their primes. And features memorable footage of Terry Richardson, Col Smith, Ian Cairns and Peter Crawford all innovators of the surfing world in the 70's.

This movie is definitely a must have, if it was a book it would take pride position on my coffee table. If you are from this era, like I am, you will appreciate the surfboards and surfers and those cute boardshorts we all used to wear. If you are not you will appreciate the pure stoke of the early Australian pioneers in surfing.

If you are thinking about watching Bustin' Down the Door, watch this first as it documents the period prior to where BDTD comes in.

Ocean rhythms was shot on 16mm film 35 years ago and has now been digitally remastered into DVD format.

In 1975 Tracks Magazine said this about Ocean Rhythms: For once a surf-film maker has given an audience what they have been wanting; an honest in-depth surfer’s movie featuring Australia’s best surfers on their favorite home breaks.

Definitely value this one, as there is a variety of surfers and great surf breaks, filmed from unreal positions, as well as photographically stimulating approaches to keep you hanging on the edge of your seat.

- Tracks Review by Martin Tullemans MTVZ

Producer of Searching For Michael Peterson, Jolyon Hoff says; "Ocean Rhythms is simply the best surfing footage from the seventies, featuring Michael Peterson, Peter Townend, Rabbit and many others."

Former 1976 World Champion Peter Townend says: "My mate Steve Core's Ocean Rhythms is like the classic 'lost tapes', the last epic MP footage at the height of his powers, if you weren't in a seventies' theatre or community hall then you missed it!”


Below is a part of the original review published in TRACKS in 1975
written by the one and only Martin Tullemans
"Ocean Rhythms is not only a current up to date look at hot radical surfing – it is a refreshingly entertaining surf movie: something very different from the stereotyped overseas formula for a surf flick. Certainly it is not as slick; without the mandatory Pipeline water footage and other effects which we have been accustomed to from the Hollywood of surf footage: Hawaii.

It largely owes its popularity to the fact that it is about Australian surfers surfing their own waves and ripping tem to its. You can’t help but get the feeling that was expounded years ago; that we’re tops now! For once a surf film maker has given an audience what they have been wanting; an honest in depth surfer’s movie featuring Australia’s best surfers on their favourite home surf breaks."

In Thailand you can purchase a copy from our surf shop, or order through our surfing movie review page and we will deliver free of charge.
