They used to call him the Terminator on tour – Dave Macualy has still got it.

The second state qualifying event of the FCS Manufactures Cup has been won by the defending state and national champions, The Murriginals. In lumpy 1 to 2 meter waves at Yallingup in WA, the ever consistent team including former world #2 Dave McCauley and local standout David Delroy-Carr looked unstoppable, producing a convincing win over Nathan Rose and Katana Surfboards.

This was the second time the state qualifying event has been held in Western Australia. “The Murriginals are certainly laying down the gauntlet. They’ve sent a clear message to the rest of the country about their intensions of winning back-to-back Manufacturers Cup titles. They must be odds on favorites after this performance” – Richie Lovett, FCS Brand Ambassador.

Today’s victory will see the WA standouts heading to the East Coast of Oz to compete in the National Final against Cory Surfboards (VIC State winners), and also the top three teams from the Queensland and New South Wales state qualifying events.

The showdown is set to take place on Saturday, 13th February at Sydney’s North Narrabeen Beach. With former, current & future professional surfing stars, world class shapers and work colleagues all lining up for a chance to take home bragging rights and the $3000 first place cheque.

The next state qualifying event in the series will be held in Queensland at Duranbah on Friday, 15th January 2010. Teams set to compete in the event include JS, Super Surfboards, Shaping Co, Stuart Surfboards, JR, Pro Workshop, Glass Lab, Venom and Emery Surfboards.

The FCS Manufacturers Cup is proudly supported by Jim Beam, Tracks and Swellnet.

Seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before.

Not that long ago, in an island chain far, far away, seven free surfers embarked on a voyage to boldly go where no man had gone before. Equipped with an array of surfboards, a packet of crayons and two ukuleles, their chances of success were slim. In pursuit of perfection, they were forced to navigate under the radar of a fleet of imperial boat charters. Despite numerous obstacles, the rebel alliance of wave-riding beatniks continued to make Galactik Tracks into a new surfing cosmos; their search for a Nirvana reaching its climax when they arrived at… The Island of Nowhere.

Gathering

YEAR: 2014

STARRING: DAVE RASTOVICH

The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home on the Far North Coast of NSW.

Gathering is a short film from independent filmmaker Nathan Oldfield, the creator of the award-winning left of centre surf films Lines From a Poem, Seaworthy and The Heart & The Sea. The film features the enigmatic and free-thinking Dave Rastovich at home in the sacred playgrounds of the Far North Coast of New South Wales. The film explores Rastovich’s ideas around how the tension between the industrial and the natural in the surfing world unfolds in that place. Ultimately, Gathering celebrates how diversity and difference in ecosystems, relationships and surfing contribute to the preciousness of life. Gathering is easy on the eyes and ears and Tracks Magazine is proud to present it to you. Nathan Oldfield is a maverick, a filmmaker who wants a surf movie to say something important, to move us and make us grateful for the sea around us and the life within us. His films are quiet, beautiful and brimming with sacred purpose. Tim Winton, Acclaimed Australian Novelist
