Ziggy Alberts: Sunshine & Stardust

Pearce Leal
Fri 11 May 12:00am

Ziggy Alberts: There's a name you'll be hearing more of in the future. Guaranteed. And if the talent scouts haven't already got him pegged then you can bet he's registering on the radar.

Kid comes straight off the block ready assembled. Plays guitar left-handed, sings self-penned songs in a lilting voice and he's got a gravity defying coiffure sure to send teenage girls who could care less about his musical chops wild. Plus he's got a rocking moniker; no need for a stage name or intervention by deed poll for this kid. There it is on his birth certificate: 'Ziggy'.

All Over Sunshine

Jack Dekort
Tue 24 April 12:00am

After four days of persistent nor-east swell East Coast surfers are burnt out and tired (well, I am anyway). The nor-east angle meant most places got an equal share of the swell so quality came down to local bank conditions. Fortunately many of the banks on the Sunshine Coast are in good order so the coast north of Caloundra was as good as anywhere.

Swellnet photographer, Jack Dekort, spent the weekend trawling the Sunshine Coast scoring the goods at various places. With him were Mitch Adams, Ziggy Alberts and Levi Torrisi.

Highway Run

Jack Dekort
Tue 17 April 12:00am

It starts with the 3am crunch of tyres on a gravel driveway, boards in the back, minimal chat. Then thunder down the highway, toons on the deck, a cup of coffee, and warm to the day as the sun rises over an empty beach.

A few sessions on new terrain rounded out by a full-scale, take-no-prisoner bakery strike - Portuegese Tarts 'n all. Later bump into a few crew and have a sly sesh at a breakwall on the way home.
