SURFERJOE SUMMER FESTIVAL 2008
Results and comments after the great event

The festival 2008 - #3 in the list of SurferJoe's international events - has been simply great! Many reasons for this but first of all the participation of a lot of public and fans from everywhere. As we expected there was public of all ages, enjoying themselves, having fun, dancing, singing and drinking.
Really a big THANK YOU to everyone who came to the show and contributed to our project by supporting surf music so strongly!

We need to thank all our sponsors that made possible the realization of this festival. This year SurferJoe was proudly supported by: Quiksilver & Roxy, Eastpak, Hoasy Surf Shop Livorno, Mokaras Caffe', Energetic Spa, Tecnocasa, Fender / M. Casale Bauer.

We'd like to say thanks to all our partners that helped us with the promotion and the organization: Surfguitar 101, Sound of the Surf, Soul Riding Viareggio, Osteria delle Belle Donne Rastaurant (Livorno), Nido del Cuculo, Li per Li, Eventpisani.it.

A special thanks to Vespa Club Livorno for bringing us splendid scooters and taking care of many things, we will work together again and again!

A super thanks to CALAFURIA, the beautiful club that gave us the chance to organize the event right on their terrace overlooking the sea.

At last we cannot forget the support given by Fred Lammers, Blitz Studio (booking agency) and Villa Morazzana (Hotel & Hostel - Livorno).

What happened...

Well, the party started on time with some music and after a while live music began. The bands have played one after each other with almost no brakes, an amazing sequence of surf bands and good rock 'n' roll music up to 4am.
Sound of the Surf shootings seem to be very nice, we cannot wait to see the movie!
People could not believe their eyes when they saw John Blair jumping on stage for a couple of songs: what a fantastic moment! Surf Rider and Pipelines to end the day of Saturday in the best way possible.

Hosting by Unsteady Freddie was very good and everybody had much fun: thanks Freddie!
Generally a very cool event, we have to fix something as always happens, but we think the location was nice. More surf events coming in Calafuria for sure.

Please, send us you photos or videos or post them on YouTube or whatever, it is always important to promote the party so that next year will be bigger!

  A little bit more than a contribution: Sound of the Surf crew came to film the event. This will be the very first movie/documentary about the history of surf music with exclusive material from the 60s and interviews with all people who made this genre great! Thanks for comin' to the SJ event, we can't wait to see the movie, released worldwide in a few months!
