Following on from the success of the show at Dimbola, we are pleased to announce that the ‘wight surf history’ project has secured a permanent place for the ‘exhibition of contemporary surf photography’ in the new ‘Beach Bar’ at the Sandpipers Hotel in Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight. This is great news for us and for all the people who couldn’t make it to the first show, as they can now see all the photographs and get a pint at the same time!
It really is the perfect location for the exhibition to live, being quite literally a stones throw from the break where a lot of the best action and stories can be found.
The website could do with updating, but the map works fine if you want to plan a trip to see the show http://sandpipershotel.com/
And because taking photos is what we do, here’s a few shots of me and paul getting the place ready this week!

The Wight Surf history Project aims to document and celebrate 50 years of surfing on the Isle of Wight. It will tell the story of how surfing arrived and evolved on the Island, and the characters involved over the years. The contributors are two local surfers and photographers, Jason Swain & Paul Blackley, who are supported by the 'West Wight Landscape Partnership'.
