Feeling the stoke

Panga film crew and the Noosa World Surfing Reserve’s Surf Code team celebrate the completion of filming of “Surf Code – Feel The Stoke”, a short video and a series of one-minute webisodes, designed to teach basic safety and etiquette in crowded surfing conditions.

Conceived and produced by the Local Stewardship Council of the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, funded by Noosa Shire Council and GemLife resorts, the series of films was shot and edited over the past few months by Tewantin-based Panga Productions. It stars young local surfers drawn from Noosa Boardriders Club, Noosa Malibu Club and school groups.

Said director Shaun Cairns: “The films have a serious message about health, safety and behaviour aimed at all ages, but we wanted to keep it light, so we’ve used the grommets to tell the story. They’re not only great young surfers, they also totally get that we all have to follow the basic rules to avoid mayhem in the surf on crowded days.”
