Tracks Party sells out Torquay … Coolangatta up next

Highlights from our annual Bells pilgrimage as we prepare to hit the dance floor on the Gold Coast next.
Reading Time: 4 minutes

You know you’ve pulled off a successful night when your phone is blowing up with requests to be let into the party and people are literally climbing the walls trying to get in. For the third consecutive year our pilgrimage down to Bells to host the Tracks Party at the Torquay Surf Lifesaving Club was a sell out. Hundreds of you, starved from a lack of WSL CT action on Easter Friday, hit the dance floor and let loose. The view from the balcony of the SLSC showed the carnage below. Mosh Pits, dancing, people hoisted on shoulders to get a look in on the action – it was a night where we once again put the fun back into surfing.

If you didn’t get in on the action down in Vicco, then fear not, we will be hitting the road next month for another evening of carnage on the Gold Coast. Beddy Rays will be headlining the show again, which will take place at the Coolangatta Hotel on Friday 1 May. They will be supported by grunge outfit Headsend, which is made up of surfing rockstar double act Kyuss and Rasmus King, as well as their talented drummer Bon. Mac The Knife and Loose Goose will also play on the night which kicks off at 7pm.

A massive shoutout to our bands on the night in Torquay – Beddy Rays, Mannequin Death Squad, Des Cortez, Sargeant Baker and DJ Eddy. As well as our partners Casa, Blackmans Brewery and Rip Curl.

Tickets for our Cooly show are now live. Click here to purchase. While we wait to party with you all again, check out some of our favourite moments from Friday night, shot by Kate Shearer.

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

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.

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
