Donovan Frankenreiter – Free Gig – Sat 11 Feb

CORONA SESSIONS – DONAVON FRANKENREITER PLAYS FREE CONCERT LIVE AT THE ICONIC NEWPORT ARMS HOTEL

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11TH 5PM

The team at Corona are proud to present the Corona Sessions with Donovan Frankenreiter who will be playing a FREE concert gig at Newport Arms Hotel within their iconic beergarden overlooking Pittwater. Show time is from 5pm, so get in early for best vantage point.

When Donavon Frankenreiter was 10 years old, he got his first surfboard. Six years later, he picked up his first guitar. It was the beginning of a wildly creative journey: His improvisational twin obsessions have carried him around the globe and into his fans’ hearts.

Having released his fourth album, Glow, in 2010, he admits he still thrives on simply taking the plunge. “We don’t have a set show, if we did, I would go crazy,” he says. “You never know what’s going to happen. I love that element of surprise with music and surfing – you never catch the same wave twice.”

This singer/songwriter /pro-surfer is hitting our shores to tour for Corona and we couldn’t be more excited! It’s a combination of his laid back attitude, cruisy indie beach tunes, inspiring nature and sense of humour that have seen him build a loyal fan base all over the world, and his live shows are one of a kind.

A Little Respect, In Byron Bay Today.

Now it was a rather glorious morning to say the least, sun was out, lines were reasonably clean and the crew were feeling well happy and mellow, in Byron Bay today. Then many sponsored pro Groms arrived in the bay. Now we got nothing Pro Groms, we got our fair share that live here and they are fine. But these guys were kind of different. Don’t know where they were from, or what their program was. But they brought a tonne of attitude and zero respect for anyone else in the water in the bay. So as much as I’d prefer not to, this must be said. Not cool behaviour guys, really not cool at all. Sure these kids were good, but hey we got local crew surf just as well or better, and they sure don’t behave like you guys did. Turning up at someone else’s home en masse and then proceeding to repeatedly burn and snake everyone else in the lineup is just plain lame. It’s not particularly good press for your sponsors either. So try to work with the crew when you visit next time, not against them. A little respect to the locals in the water goes a long way to making it all good for all concerned, In Byron Bay Today.

Kiteboard found at Sth Narra Sunday evening

Hi, Last night (Sunday) at about about 8 pm i found a Kiteboard washed up at South Narrabeen. Perhaps you could mention this in one of your reports so if the person that lost it can contact me and identify the board they can get it back.

First time I’ve ever seen something like this… and it seems to surf okay too.

The Green Room Update, In Byron Bay Today.

So yeah what are we doing working when we’re meant to be on holidays, in Byron Bay today? Well, it’s simple really. We were just trawling through the archives of the site and noticed how many really good sessions there were for barrels in the bay last year. Now I got a thing for shooting barrels, in fact anyone who’s known me long enough would remember that I was once fanatical about hunting down tubes. Of course that was before I got old and crusty with joints that refuse to work, but I digress. I had to make the change from looking at them from the inside. To digging every excruciatingly beautiful moment from the outside, I’m fussy about barrels. I like to see people set them up properly, I like to see good timing, stalls where appropriate, and length of time inside. In fact I dig it so much that it makes me feel like screaming in frustration when I see a good barrel wasted for a lame off the top instead. But hey that’s just me. So I thought I’d share some of the moments that put a big smile on my face while shooting them in the bay. Not all of them were that big or that perfect. But every one of these was well timed and gave me just as much stoke as those getting slotted, because I always pull in mentally with them while shooting, In Byron Bay Today.
