La Casa – Dead Kooks

Stab’s fond of Resin tints. Eden Saul (Dead Kooks) recently stopped in at Corona’s La Casa Artist Residency and made a coloured-out board. It’s a long way from the 6’4″ McTavish single fin that he learnt to surf on. He digs the rapidity of design progression that was around in the 60s and 70s, but thinks that a lot of ideas from that period were passed over too quickly, hence his attempts to revive some of ’em. Y’may notice some lost designs in Eden’s boards. Oh, and that Corona La Casa Residency? If a house in Byron Bay where creatives and surfers can swing by, guzzle suds and make things ain’t the greatest idea…
