Tony Plant Sand Artist

Tony Plant is an artist that uses the environment as his canvas. Almost like a natural version of Banksy, with a rake as his instrument, these temporary masterpieces appear in the sand across the Cornish coast creating impromptu art galleries for passers by.

Tony Plant Beach Art

We had the pleasure of viewing Tony’s latest piece, created on Great Western beach in Newquay. A giant moustache was created in the sand, in aid of Movember to which members of the public were invited to come down to the beach with their rakes to get involved and help raise money for the cause.

2013 Boardmasters Festival

The Relentless Boardmasters (in association with Vans) is Europe’s only surf, skate and music festival held on Fistral Beach & Watergate Bay in Newquay, Cornwall on August 7-11th, 2013.

The festival revolves around the Men’s 6 star ASP surfing event, which attracts some of the world’s best surfers to Cornwall for a total prize pot of £100,000 (2012 figures). If the surf’s flat, or it just isn’t your thing, there’s plenty more extreme sports to spectate on including the Vans summer sessions which features the biggest names in skateboarding and BMX all competing on an awesome new mini ramp / street section setup. That topped with live DJ’s, a beach bar, food and a tonne of sunshine (fingers crossed) Fistral beach is definitely the place to be.

See the trailer below for a taste of  last year’s festival, and click here to visit the official site where you can buy tickets to this year’s event…we’ll see you there!
