• 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
  • The working week is coming to an end, it's Friday and we are jumping for joy like @ashleyjhart and @realbarbarapalvin. Enjoy the weekend! #sun #fun #pumped #weekend #models #barbarapalvin #ashleyhart #party
  • Lest We Forget, tomorrow's day off is in honour of the ANZACS. Have your first beer, or two, in honour of the Diggers who fought for this epic country. Oh yeah, and good luck in two up. Tails all the way, have a great day. #anzacs #anzacday #diggers #beer #twoup

LUKE CHEADLE FEATURED IN WAVES MAGAZINE

BLAKE AND CHEADS, FROM MEXICO

From where you’d rather be Friday. The latest issue of TRACKS MAGAZINE just arrived in the office with a big feature on Blake Thornton and Luke Cheadle‘s trip to Mexico. The feature, and the mag for that matter, has us longing for sunny weather, warm water and Coronas on the beach. Looks like we’ll be settling for a case of VB in the garage while flicking through a mag full of perfection.

GOIN’ BANANAZ AT THE MARGARET RIVER PRO

Back home after an epic week of surf, art & general chaos at the Margaret River Pro. Congrat’s to division winners, Dusty Payne and Carissa Moore, and to Mambo team rider, Jay Quinn for a Top 5 finish. And, 3 thumbs up to Mambo’s FESTIVAL OF FLIGHT winners: Kolohe Andino (Official)Blake Thornton, and lunatic double-act, Dan Ross and Jay Thompson who took out Most Entertaining Wave with an 8 – 10ft plunge down the face of a Margy bomb, in a kayak. For the full wrap, visit the Mambo website

LIVE SLOW DIE OLD

Live Slow, Die Old from Mambo Australia on Vimeo.

For your couch potato viewing pleasure: MAMBO Summer 2012 range release video starring Balmain rugby league God, Benji Marshall with MAMBO surf demi-gods, Blake Thornton, a budding league star before his knee gave out & Luke Cheadle who still collects stamps.

LET THERE BE WAVES


And Aussie Jesus said, “Let there be waves,” and there were waves. The bad run of surf has ended and the east coast of Australia is full of fun, reasonably sized, waves. Mambo surfer Luke Cheadle is lapping it up too, his “out of office” meetings have doubled and we have the feeling those “meetings” are taking place in the numerous beach carparks on the Northern Beaches.
