This weekend was the first ever Beach Bop, a vintage surf/kustom kulture kinda event at Cronulla. I went along today and it’s fair to say it had more than a shade of a Wintersun vibe to it, and that’s definitely not a complaint!
The venue was fantastic, a small well shaded park at the end of the main drag, and right next to the beach – so shops, restaurants, or a swim were all within spitting distance. Bands throughout the day provided entertainment and also helped give it a great atmosphere. A neat feature was the surf comp that was held as part of the weekend. There was a vintage surf display, which was cool but a little on the small side. The concept was great and it was popular with the crowds, so hopefully we’ll see it expanded in future years – how about another section featuring some original surf art? The show and shine was neat, with about 40 cars or so. And in the spirit of the event, there were some very neat surf wagons in the mix.
All in all it was a great event, especially for the first hit out. I for one will be back next year!
Here’s some pics, I posted a bunch more over on ozrodders.
Looks well worth the trip for me next year Hewey… thanks for sharing
