Think of a journey, to a charmed island setting where the swell-lines wrap in brilliant shades of blue and an assembly of luminaries ushers you towards a renewed appreciation for surfing and surf culture. A place in time where the exchange of wisdom, the riding of waves and the celebration of shared experiences becomes a state of mind. As moments of revelation spill into unforgettable life episodes your consciousness shifts and the metamorphosis is complete.
Join @mattparker.x @margomargs @rabbitbartholomew & @theswellian for a transformative, surfing experience.

This brave warrior should be out in the wild chasing 🌈’s. When the bolts strike it’s like holding someone who is being electrocuted. The level of pain is so severe pain relief barely touches the sides of this horrible condition What started as an ear infection has turned into the most horrific affliction deep in his cranial. He is most likely going to be discharged from hospital today and the long journey with Specialists, physio, acute pain Specialists, maybe micro vascular surgery, all begins again. He has been cared for here but this is next level and maybe next level again. Such a distressing time watching your kid suffer. We so appreciate the theclubparkwood.com.au for setting up a GoFundMe for Jaggar Please go to my bio for the link by @rabbitbartholomew

Rabbit Bartholomew in the moment photographed by Dan Merkel. This was one of the images that was not selected by a customer for a print but it sure is pretty.

Summer is here, and we know you’re itching to get down to the beach ASAP! ☀️ But with the start of summer comes a timely reminder that a safe relationship with the sun is crucial.

World Champion Surfer Rabbit Bartholomew knew he was a skin cancer contender from a very young age.

Surfers are six times more likely to develop skin cancers, with heightened risk due to UV radiation reflecting off the waves. And becoming a world champion surfer doesn’t happen without a lot of time in the sun.

See Rabbit’s full story on the big screen in Conquering Skin Cancer, in cinemas now. Find your nearest screening at conqueringskincancer.com.au or through the link in our bio!

We have nationwide screenings on the 8th and 11th of December, so be sure to grab your tickets now- you could save a life this summer, and it might just be your own. 💛
