• Mambo's twin truck ambassador, @bradmcdermott has ditched his tee to battle the heat (clearly this was not taken today) but obviously hasn't given thought to the dreaded gravel rash. Either that or he doesn't plan on falling off. #skate #gravelrash #skating #mambo #instadaily #instagood #photooftheday #bradmcdermott
  • While some of us are staring at a computer screen all day, patching up broken sewerage pipes, or doing whatever it is you do to put food on the table, Mambo pro surfer and everywhere man, @blake_thornton is globetrotting the world's best surf breaks, living out all our day dreams. This one is from a secluded spot in Mexico, a few months ago. Photo: @juzzigrznar #mambo #mexico #surf #secret #instagood #instadaily #photooftheday
  • We thought it was time to celebrate another one of our wildly talented Mambo artists, Mr Blair Sayer. He likes to turn up on Fridays for the free beer and doesn't leave until we sweep him out on Monday. One of our very fave Aussie Kiwis. #art #mambo #artist #casualfriday #blairsayer #aussie #kiwi #instagood #instadaily
  • An Example was made of the stunning Erin @McNaughty, over the weekend when one of our elite Mambo Goddesses got hitched to Elliot Gleave (aka Example), the English rapper. We wish Mr and Mrs Gleave a brilliant life and look forward to what they call their offspring. Etc and ie. are apparently at the top of the list. @mambogoddess #example #married #erinmcnaught #rap #english #mambo
  • Swell is on it's way to the East Coast of Oz, the sun will be shining and the Billabong Pro Rio will kick back into action in a few hours. We have a great weekend ahead. Crack a beer (or beverage of choice), kick the feet up and suck the juice of life Melon Heads.

  • Mambo pro surfer, @blake_thornton is pretty comfortable falling into water. To test that notion, we pushed him in. To get the gear, check out our range for Big W Australia or The Warehouse New Zealand #mambo #water #ocean #falling #photooftheday #instadaily #instagood #blakethornton
  • @mambogoddess campaign teaser. We look forward to showing you more when the bloody photographer gets his head out of the way @jasonleeparry @realbarbarapalvin @ashleyjhart #mambogoddess #ashhart #barbarapalvin #jasonleeparry #venicebeach #goddess
  • Today, we thought we'd give props to a Mambo artist who has been absolutely killing it of late, @mistaprice. Piece after piece he continually blows our minds and we thought it was about time we gave him some online recognition. Travis, we love your work mate, keep up the epicness! #art #travisprice #mambo #instagood #instadaily #photooftheday #artist #epic
  • On the weekend, Mambo's newly signed grom, Ben Penny smashed the Volcom VQS Champs over in Gisborne, NZ. Ben finished 2nd with his best mate, Jamie Krupps taking it out for a 1-2 finish for Oz. The non-alcholic champagne never tasted so good!

  • Here at Mambo we are nothing if not contentious. We thought we’d wrap the week with a handful of graphic favourites that have also landed us in deep brown porridge over the years. A little something here for everyone, including that constantly circling shark, the copyright lawyer #mambo #redneck #paulinehanson #paperscissorsrock #forgivethemfather #art #copyright #instagood #instadaily #photooftheday #funny
  • Today, Team Mambo had a task on their hands. We were up early, coffees in hand and overly prepared to shoot our @kidmambo summer campaign. The problem with shooting a bunch of kids is that when you tell them to go bananaz, they do just that. It might seem like a great concept in theory but you try shooting a 6'1 gorilla and a bunch of groms hopped up on sugar. Complete bedlam! #bedlam #bananaz #goinbananaz #mambo #kidmambo #campaign #photography #instagood
  • Due to our marketing piggy bank running out of coins, we couldn't afford to fly Mambo artist, @leemcconnell to Broome to help @savethekimberley. Instead, we shot him with a broom and shipped a big pack of tees up to the crew in the Western Australia to sell and help raise funds for the fight. Get your "No Gas!" tee now from this link: http://stores.ebay.com.au/Save-The-Kimberley-STK?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 #savethekimberley #broome #gas #nogas #mambo #artist
  • The design team @mamboaustralia have just returned to Aus after a month long (bender) inspiration trip to the USA. Check out our Facebook page for the full gallery #inspiration #design #tripping #california #newyork #art #bender #mambo #mambogoddess
  • Regram from the gorgeous and ridiculously talented singer of @vanhoornmusic, @cheyennet in our Summer 11' @mambogoddess campaign shot in a snowing, and bone chilling NYC.
  • Congrats goes out to Mambo wonder boy, @leemcconnell who just took out the @tigerbeer #tigertranslate art battle. Now he's off to Vietnam to compete against the worlds best! #vietnam #artbattle #art #tigerbeer
  • In 1992 British art & culture magazine, @id_magazine asked Mambo to contribute a piece of art for an upcoming anti-fascist edition. Having a very low opinion of fascists ourselves we said, OK and then invited Reg Mombassa to dive into his pencil box and vent our spleen. The image proved so popular it was still selling a year later. #mambo #regmombassa #art #fascist #i-dmagazine #music #housemusic #poster
  • If you live on the east coast of Australia and you haven't checked your local surf forecast site, don't bother, it's gonna be flat. Instead, fill an esky with your essentials (beer, sandwiches, black market kidneys, what ever floats your boat), grab a few mates and head down to your local spot for a weekend of "pavement surfing". Get the Betadine ready though, because Skating isn't as forgiving as it's water based cousin. @bradmcdermott shot by Andrew Fawcett #skate #skater #park #mambo

  • Following on from our rich history of youth exploitation, Mambo is proud to announce an extra edition to our bulging surf team of 3, North Steyne Boardriders grom, @benpenny. Cheads, Blake and Quinny now have a permanent board de-waxer on all future surf trips. Photo by @blaisebell
  • Mambo's favourite "south of the bridge" son, Blake Thornton is currently deep in the frigid waters of Canada, where his day to day dealings include Grizzly Bears, Killer Whales and sub zero temperatures. If it's so cold, then why Blake isn't wearing his hood? Well, Canada's freezing water temperatures have nothing on Alaska, which is where Blake was heli-boarding and surfing with a few crazy mates. This time, we're not jealous. Regram @blake_thornton #canada #grizzlybear #surfing #canadasurf #freezing #mambo #mamboaustralia #blakethornton #vancouverisland

ENTER THE DRAGON

Travellers around Sydney might have noticed an outbreak of colourful flags currently cheering up our usually monotone city streets. The flags, commissioned by the Sydney City Council, have been designed by MAMBO artist, Chrissy Lau to celebrate Chinese New Year. They also feature in an ad campaign on SBS television. So popular have the flags become that Chrissy has recently picked up several new stalkers … followers, on Twitter including, Sydney’s Lord Mayor, Clover Moore.

HIGHWAY TO HELL

Most surf/street companies would call up an agency and throw a large amount of cash at a handful of models to help advertise new product but when you’re got the cast of Clerks huddled around a light table in the studio, upstairs you’d be mad not to use that money to fill up the bar fridge. These are the people who design the Mambo clothes you wear. And this is how they get to work … when they get to work.

REG MOMBASSA @ SEMI PERMANENT

I don’t think that we’d be over egging the custard to say that Reg Mombassa is the world’s greatest living t-shirt artist. He is also a much acclaimed musician, one of this country’s most collected ‘fine’ artists, a published writer, a poet, a humanist, a dispenser of arcane wisdom, a buggerer of sacred cows and not least, a much loved national treasure.
