The Festival of Surfing has been a fixture on the Noosa calendar for 30 years, and while the line-up was as stacked as always, this year there was an onshore contender that everyone talked about dropping in on.
Owen Cavanagh joined forces with the local Sunshine and Sons Distillery team in producing the festival’s signature gin – Laguna Bay Dry Gin.
The celebrated Sunshine Coast creative has been riding his own wave of success in the surf/street art space for years, but there is one thing he hasn’t tried his hand at until now – label art.
“I’m stoked to have been asked to design the label for this year’s festival-inspired Sunshine and Sons homegrown gin,” Mr Cavanagh said.
“It’s definitely a different medium, but I’m loving how it looks. It’s even better that $10 from every bottle sold is going to be donated to The Board Meeting Surf Charity.”
The charity assists Sunshine Coast kids with disabilities through a variety of surf-related events.
The gin is available at Dan Murphy’s, BWS, the Sunshine Beach Surf Club, Miss Moneypenny’s in Hastings Street, or at the Sunshine and Sons Distillery Door or on their website.
