YEO HAUS SINGLE FIN SURF JAM

The Yeo Haus Single Fin Surf Jam, held down on the south coast of South Australia was a day for
celebrating surfing and our culture. Bringing the community together through wave riding, it was no
doubt good times were going to be had.
With Yeo Haus being a modern, creative clothing lifestyle brand based in SA, a surf comp replicating
their outlook on surfing culture and good times was the ideal way to bring in the New Year.
It wasn’t your ordinary comp - an array of boards were supplied, the boards were numbered and the
number you picked from the hat determined what board you had to ride for your heat. This format
evened out the playing field as surfers had to get creative on their given craft, as coffin rides, one
footers and head stands were rewarded, as having fun on the wave was the top priority.
It was an intimate day with spectators less than a stones throw from the surfers, so applauding and
hollering lit up the ampitheatre with good vibes all round. As Yeo Haus states “If you open your mind,
you’ll open the doors and a good time will be had.”
