Questions for research

Research for the event - this beach would not be suitable looking at the feedback i got.
I feelm Abersochs main beach would be much more appropriate for beginners and accessibility although porth ceriad is an amazing beach for surfing!! 
Proposal from this - A further event could be organised , a competition for the pro surfers or some kind of show.


What do you think about Abersoch beach 'Porth ceriad' for the surf.

Surf Bear, Wrexham
Porth Ceiriad is a great spot on its day, superb, fast, clean, left wedge away from cliff, can go to 6 feet. But a definite total no-no for beginners, unless you like eating sand or getting brained on the rocks. 26 years surfing, getting slow these days, so I have a good look at conditions before taking this one on, if it looks too much then Porth Oer is usually peachy. Either way beginners will have much more fun down at Harlech/Barmouth at this time of year.

Really not suitable for anyone who can't surf so don't push it for beginners to go there as you have done in your text. Thanks

Chris Capon, Manchester
This is a wonder of a spot to surf, it is more like a Hawaiian beach than a Welsh beach. When the waves get big on this beach they are BIG and very clean, unlike hells mouth where they get choppy very easily. I love this beach but the journey down is a killer and the way up is another story... but i still love it, it is part of the whole experiance for me and i LOVE it!

Inspired by the sea


 Thomas Dymond photographing the sea as he surfs for a exhibition in Fistral (Newquay)
'At the bottom of the wave shape are photos of driving to the beach or cleaning wetsuits, as they get closer to the surface and the top of the wave shape they change to photos of waves and ridding them.'

Under the Surface, a great reason to go surfing.

My leash snapped on my first wave whilst shooting some shots for the Inspired by the Sea exhibition so I thought I’d do some research. Thanks for the photos Spandex.

Influential quotes/facts and stats about surfing

These are some possible quotes and facts that i may include in my zine.
Taken from pro surfers, people living in a surfing culture, and experience in the promotional and branding side of it.


Going on in time, surfing has now become a lucrative profession… big money and many fans. Surf culture has invaded all aspects of life. Surfing is no longer only a sport or a lifestyle; it has developed into an industry, and a staple of our culture.


By the late 1970's surfing had a new centre, Australia. Aussie surfers brought a brash and bold attitude to the sport. The colourful style of Australian surfing found its way into new surf-based companies.


The first wetsuit was designed in the early 1950's in California, when Jack O'Neill stitched together pieces of neoprene in the form of vests. The wetsuit was so important, because for the first time surfers could surf all year round


A man named Dale Velzy is credited for the popularisation of surfing. Velzy was surfing's first sponsor, giving boards to local surfers in exchange for endorsements. Velzy was also the first major surfboard manufacturer to utilize a wide-scale advertising campaign. Velzy made surfing visible to the American public.


in 1915, internationally, Duke Kahanamoku (one of the greatest and most important men in surf history!) had introduced surfing to Australia, where it would catch on very quickly.


With the onset of the 1900's came a renewed interest in surfing. Revived at first in Hawaii by a group of resistant teens known as the 'Beach Boys of Waikiki'.


The first known occurrences of surfing are connected to the ancient Hawaiian tradition of "he'e nalu", meaning "wave-sliding".

The History behind surfing culture

Surf culture includes the people, language, fashion and life surrounding the art of surfing.
The culture began early in the 20th century, spread quickly during the 1950s and 1960s, and continues to evolve. It affected fashion, music, literature, films, jargon, and more. Surfers, who come from many walks of life, are bound by the hunt for great waves, the desire for the ultimate ride, and life in and around the ocean.
The fickle nature of weather and the ocean, plus the great desire for the best possible types of waves for surfing, make surfers dependent on weather conditions that may change rapidly.Surfer Magazine, founded in the 1960s when surfing had gained popularity with teenagers, used to say that if they were hard at work and someone yelled "Surf's up!" the office would suddenly be empty. Also, since surfing has a restricted geographical necessity (i.e. the coast), the culture of beach life often influenced surfers and vice versa. Localism or territorialism is a part of the development of surf culture in which individuals or groups of surfers designate certain key surfing spots as their own.
Aspects of 1960s surf culture in Southern California, where it was first popularized, include the woodie, bikinis and other beach wear, such as boardshorts or baggies, and surf music.Surfers developed the surfboard to be able to "surf" on land; and a number of other boardsports. Of these the most popular being snowboarding and skateboarding, in addition to other spin-offs that have grown out of the sport ever since.

Energy drinks packaging

Danube Energy Drink Packaging

Graphic Design Categories Winner of "The promise of years of creative" Visual Arts Project and Exhibition, 2010 Hungary BKF (Budapest College of Communication and Business)
I really like the controversial design of this can, it is not typical of the usual packaging design of this product, which makes it stand out.
-NEUTRAL EARTHY COLOURS AS OPOSE TO BRIGHT ENERGETIC PRIMARY COLOURS.

Energy drinks packaging

Bomba Energy Drink

Bomba Energy design by Valentine Associates:
Love the shape of these bottles. It looks very out of the ordinary. 

Rubyy

 pretty typical packaging for an energy drink.
Rubyy Blood Orange Energy Drink, has been coined “the first ultra-premium luxury energy drink”. It was launched this year by Maurice Kanbar (the founder of Skyy Vodka) and Chris Huddleston.


Mt Dew

one of the most original energy drinks .  the packageing has been changed quite a lot over the years….still not sure what I think.





Bloom

I like the simplicity of the packaging, and the playful punctuation. Clever idea to put the flavor as the bottom of the exclamation point. Designed by CBX


Burn Energy Drink

Theres just something about the tall skinny can that alot of energy drinks come in…but look at the typography of the ingredients on the back,  love it, Designed by Ergo ID.




Suso

Vectored graphics style is also common on energy drink packaging, I like the design combined with the bright colors. This drink would catch my eye in the store.


Fuelosophy

I’m really liking the combination of a subtle gradient and the textured look of the arrows on this packaging. This packaging seems to be aimed more at a feminine audience but in a very subtle way.


Jolt

 Jolt cola, they have recently been rebranded and now they have a variety of energy drinks in an interesting metal can.


NOS

This is another drink that caught my eye….but not really because of the design, but rather the color of the packaging. Its bright and would definitely stand out on the shelf. 


Battery Drink

Again not the best design, but an interesting concept.
