McTavish In The Studio

‘That was the beginning of the shortboard revolution, that’s the very first plastic machine under my arm there’ - Bob McTavish

In preparation for our upcoming show in Byron, we invited Bob McTavish in to the studio for a beer and sat down to watch some classic films from the 60’s in which he starred.

High On A Cool Wave and Long Way Round from Bob Evan’s were amongst the few, as well as Children Of The Sun from Andy McAlpine.

McTavish was full of stories and stoke with plenty of insights into the films of Bob Evans, which are priceless! We are working all these details into our upcoming show, with footage featuring McTavish as well as some unseen Byron footage from the 60’s.

It’s going to be a great show, packed full of surf history. We hope you can make it.

‘What the Surf Film Archive is doing is fantastic, bringing these old films back to life! I hope the entire surf community will come together to support this fantastic initiative’ - Bob McTavish
