They came, organized, surfed incredible and won one of last year’s awards: Build their dream board in the workshop of Enjoy Your Surroundings by the advisory of shaper Erik Labayen. This video shows the Garcia family working on the process and how their surfboard. We are sure they will rip will it in this edition.

In our 12 years of cosmic journey, surf families have been a pillar and an essential part of the festival. As this great surfer family grows, things are getting more difficult but also more exciting to reach that first place. And from here we take the opportunity to appeal to all those families who want to fight for your honor and glory. Surfing families, this is your event, so do your best so you can also build the board of your dreams.

For those who are new to this topic, you should know be aware that the “Tag Team of Families” is a relay heat composed of parents, children and occasionally grandparents. The test gathers up to 3 generations of surfers from the same family competing as a team. We turn an individualistic sport like surfing into real collective stoke for the families, gathering the past, present and future generations of surfers.

Last year the Garcia family clearly won the Tag Team Familias, so as a prize they won the possibility to shape and build their dreamed board with Erik Labayen from Enjoy Your Surroundings workshop. Led by one of the greatests Spanish and European surf champs, Dani García, followed by his son Néstor  (13 years old), his sister Silvia and his brother Raúl (alma mater of this festival and personage of the industry and surfing celebrity for decades).

Familia Garcia shaping their board

In the video you can see how they built a nice replica of their very first single-fin, bought to one of the spanish surfing pioneer Jose Manuel Merodio. It has been a source of inspiration ever since.

GRACIAS BILLABONG POR ESTOS 10 AÑOS

blog @en ediciones anteriores @en Uncategorized @en

Gracias, gracias y mil gracias a Billabong, este icono y referente del sector, por los 10 añitos de apoyo, ilusión y compromiso con este sueño compartido que comenzó en 2006.

 

Hace algo más de 10 años comenzamos con una apuesta arriesgada creando un nuevo concepto de evento que huía de los convencionalismos y la competición al uso. Apostamos por reunir a los pioneros y las familias del surf de toda la vida, enfocándonos en la cultura del surfing, el medio ambiente, las tablas antiguas y la música como hilo conductor.

 

Esta celebración surfera del solsticio de verano, inaugura la temporada europea cada año, y gracias al apoyo de Billabong, lo que comenzó pisando fuerte dentro del panorama nacional, hoy en día es un referente que cuenta con participantes de distintos rincones del planeta. La mayoría surfistas profesionales, personajes influyentes o referentes de la cultura surf, y amantes del surf retro de distintas generaciones, que no dudan en repetir, pues cada año damos un giro de tuerca a un formato que rompe lo convencional.

 

En esta XI edición el equipo Cosmic Children toma un nuevo rumbo con su festival, dando un golpe de timón para comenzar una nueva andadura en la que se embarcarán nuevos compañeros de viaje. No sin antes agradecer eternamente todo el esfuerzo y trabajo que durante todo este tiempo nos ha brindado una de las grandes de la glisse como Billabong. Pues la marca australiana confió en nosotros desde los inicios apostando por un formato diferente y más participativo.

 

Queremos hacer una mención y agradecimiento especial a su “dream team” entre los que destacamos a Sam Carrier y Dani García, así como otros grandes profesionales como Craig Sage, Carl Weisser, Reid Pinder, Rafa Vilallonga y Carmen Sainz.

Thank you, thank you and thanks again to the whole Billabong crew, for the past 10 years of support, enthusiasm and commitment to this shared and collective cosmic dream

In 2006 we started creating a new event concept avoiding conventionality and competition use. Committed to bringing together the pioneers and families of surfing life, and focusing on the culture of surfing, the environment, the retro boards and music as a thread.

This surfer celebration of the summer solstice, became the first festival of the European season for the last 10 years. And the support of Billabong was key to grow from the national to the international scene. Today is a benchmark that has participants from different corners of the planet: Professional surfers get together with the retro surf lovers, families, surfing legends, gromets, mermaids, artists, shapers and rockaholics and influential characters of the surf culture from different generations.

In this eleventh edition Cosmic Children crew takes a new direction with its festival, with new players and fresh ideas.

We will be eternally grateful to Billabong and we want to make special to Sam Carrier and Dani Garcia, as well as other great professionals like Craig Sage, Carl Weisser, Reid Pinder, Rafa Vilallonga, Carmen Sainz, Dave Rastovich and many others.
