Joel Fitzgerald – a master in his craft – is one of the dozen invited national and international shapers to display and demonstrate board designs during the Byron Bay Surf Festival from October 25 to 27.
International attendees include Brazilian Rodrigo Matsuda, who has pioneered finless and wooden glide crafts, and a young talent in California-style hull shapes and boards, American Ryan Lovelace. For more details visit the online festival program www.byronbaysurffestival.com/program.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
