Intro

what is this

So what is this you ask? Dead Wonderland is an interactive Surfing magazine like no other its targeted at the locals of Mount Maunganui to show case all thetalented people there is in the community i have gone out to shoot surfing in a different angles and to show the mount still has somehidden secrets. In the Mount everyone no’s everyone so this magazine is to be shared around to inspirer people and to show people’s skills that others may not know.

This magazine is designed for you the reader to have fun while you read. No more boring static pages like a magazine there is interaction on all most every page so you the user can have fun while you read.

Why digital you may ask?By going digital it opens up a Hole new way we read magazinesWith a digital magazine for an ipad We are able to add interaction to a page. You the reader can Tap and swiping your way through the magazine you will come across videos, slideshows, Hyperlinks and more you will Get the highest quality images and the sharpest colours that you will Not find in any print magazine.

Your finger controlls this application.

The name Dead Wonderland came from my research i did on the 70’s Dog Town and Z-boys movement. I researched the Z-boys because they where the leaders of there time and innervated surfing to what it is today. I like their approach to life and how they didn’t give a shit all they wanted to do was surf and skate. The name Dead Wonerland came about when I read about the Pacific ocean park pier burning down in the early 70’s. Before it was burnt to the ground it was awonderland of fun things to do and once it was gone it was a dead ghost town in Venice and a hangout for the Z-boys. Mount Maunganui in the 60’s had Leisure Island down on the main beach it also had a fun park called marine land, which was home to Dolphins and seals but in the late 60s was shut down and to be no more.

Over the years the Mount has had a lot of fun things taken away from the youth because they have too much fun and cause to muchtrouble. Which is stupid the Mount had the Sound Shell taking away in the early 90’s and of resent years Blues Brews and BBQ’s and the Sand Bar which is slowly turning the Mount into a Dead Wonderland. With this magazine i want to show what the Mount has and how much creative people we have in and out of the water and to show that it’s still a wonderland to the locals.I want to show case people in the best way i can to share the talents of surfers not just in the water but what they do out of the water.

What do you think of our local east coast guys and surf scene?

The mount has a good surf scene I think there are quite a few guys that rep the mount in the way it should be done. Which I think is good for surfing

in its self by helping people regard it as more of aprofessional sport (Which it definitely is) than a

recreational sport. But don’t get me wrong I think it can be both recreational and professional

depending on the individual.

Who are the guys in the mount these days?

The guys in the mount these days well there is quite A few from the ages of 11 or 12 right up the

older guys that still shred and froth on chasing the perfect session with good mates.

For instance Kehu Butler is such an inspirational kid he shreds and has such a mature style for his

age. As well as Jordan Griffin who is a grommet that gives the respect to who it is deserved. I

think this is due to being the son of Phil(Bongo) Griffin He is a shredder who enjoys

getting out there when possible as much as any surfer Tim O’Conner is another example of what

good surfers the mount has produced over the years but the list does go on to list a few Matt

Hewitt, Michael Wheeler, Alex dive, Travis McCoy, Sam Guthery, Sam Brown, Owen Barnes, Cale

tolly, Mark dovey, Darren McBride. I could probably go on and on but I think you get the

point that the Mount has definitely produced its fair share of top-notch blokes and surfers.

What’s next for Ant? What’s next well I am not to sure to be honest

Just Live Life to the fullest and see what it brings my way.And take every opportunity that I can to

help benefit my surfing and lifestyle.

Any last words of wisdom?Words of wisdom well. All I can suggest is stay

fit you will enjoy life more. I always live life by the saying. “If you work hard you can play just

as hard”

Thanks ant was good catching up.

So Antony what have you been up to lately?Well for the last 7 months I have been living In New Plymouth settling in to a new job down here.Apart from that just been surfing every chance I can get It is an epic spot having the coast to Score pumping waves most weekends it has been quite a good winter.

How was growing up in Mount Maunganui?Well I haven’t lived in the mount all my life but my family of 6 moved back there on Easter weekend in the year 2000 after an 8-year stint in the mighty south island. Since doing so I have had the opportunity to have learned to surf and have just frothed on it ever since. The ocean is such an amazing thing and surfing is just one of many ways of enjoying the fruits it has to offer.

Have you been competing much?In 2012 I have been competing quite a bitI have been Following the New Zealand long board tour for 10 years now and since being in the open this has definitely been my mostsuccessful year so far. Which included a win at the mount maunganui leg of the Hyundai prolong board tour. There is a Memorial comp on labour weekend that I am also looking forward to.

How about travel, any good trips lately?The latest trip That has been one of the best trips I have been on in New Zealand was last November A mate of mine Dylan Barnfield and a small crew all loaded the trusty land cruiser up with all the boards that we could fit as well as a photographer and got the barge over to Great barrier Island. The waves were not superpumping but we surfed most days and settled in to Great Barrier time for 7 days. It was close to the best 7 days of my life that place is amazing.When we left it felt like I was leaving home.

Tell me about the board you are riding?I Have just got a 9 4” single fin made by MickeyT at Bear surfboards It is an amazing board and goes ridiculously good on the tip.

What do you think about the traditional log you into them?Just recently I have been feeling the traditional side of long boarding has been missing from my surfing as in I haven’t owned a log for quite some time now. Which is were I felt the need to get one shaped and this is currently the board that I ride when it is small and clean which the board seems to go so good.

the CoverBehind

hidden secrets

So finding the cover image is no easy task trying to get that shoot that leaves an impression on whomever picks up the magazine.

I went out this day to shoot Mount Maunganui beach its a wave in the Mount known by all locals has a fat and most of the time shit and over run with long boarders kind of wave. But its also a spot with an amazing back drop into the blow hole and a place no one every shoots you will find it hard to find another image like this one taken in the mount but its becoming a popular spot to shoot.I think this day I was lucky and in the right spot at the right time.

The waves this day where really fun it was about 3 foot with a strong off shore wind I was on the fence about shooting or surfing and being a cold winters day I choose the not so warm beach over hoping in my wetsuit. I was shooting in the middle of the beach with a canon 60d and only a 300m lens I was going for the more pulled back look and wanted the rocks in the background.

The main reason I like this shoot is because it doesn’t look like the main beach or the mount for that matter.

I was lucky to get this sequence that works well for an interactive cover its just a taste of what’s in themagazine.

The surfer is a young kid who goes by the name of Josh Taylor he’s a super nice kid and has a Dane Reynolds like style so keep an eye out for him in the water he’s someone to watch for in the future.

Jaim Lloyd aka Big Sexy is a man about town, loves his art, music, surfing, skating and fillet o fishes. Big Sexy is loved by many and hated by none emitting a vibe Reminiscent of a past era,mellow and an effortlessly cool. Jaim Grew up in Mount Maunganui and has been active in the Mount Maunganui Surfing scene from the first time he stood up on a Body board at age five.

At 24 Chasing waves and Warmer water Jaim has recently made the move to Noosa after a stint in Western Australia. The following interview asks Jaim a few questions on inspiration and his thoughts surrounding surfing.

What was it like growing up in mount maunganui?Growing up in the mount was amazing. Being able to just bike down the road for a surf after school. Going out and knowing everyone out in the line up, it was some of the best times of my life.

Who did you look up to and admire as a young man?I always looked up to my dad when he would take me out and the surf would be so shit but he would go out anyway just to hang and teach me more about surfing. I still look up to himtoday. I’ve also always looked up at Mike Murden as he has done so much for the surfing community in mount maunganui and still you can find him in the line up looking for that littlepeeler out the blowhole.

What was it like when you first stood up on a surfboard?The rush I got when I first stood up on my body board around five I think. I was hooked and been surfing ever since. There is always someting new to learn so it will never get boring for me.

Where did the name “Big Sexy” come from?Adam bomb. My mate.I had just moved back from Living in noosa and walked in and Adam was showing me around his new flat. I don’tremember what I said but Adam replied “big sexy” and it stuck from there. But the name comes from a wwf wrestlers first and i think that’s what the convo was about .haha

Who /what inspires you?I find that the simple thing’s in life inspires me the most and looking at them in a different way. It makes everything interesting. No mater what it is.

What meaning does surfing hold for you?Surfing for me holds my lifeTogether. If i didn’t have it in my life I’m shore i would be adifferent human, It lets me get away when i need to, it is the one thing you know if it goes away that it will come back some day. The love for it can never leave you and you always remember the good surfs. one good wave can make shit surf amazing.

What is you favorite board in your quiver?My favorite board right now is this little 5,2 psychedelic force i made. Just knowing that it’s the first board i ever shaped. I know it inside and out. Murry valentine glassed it and did a great job. I would recommend everyone to make there own board at least once. Make a fun little board that ya can’t buy from every mainstream shop.

What’s next for jaim?Man what’s next for me.I’m moving back to noosa in a week. So I hope to get some good waves in catch up with a few mates and hopefully settle down there. Just doing art and surfing should be a fun trip.Nice and close to the ocean.

Thanks jaim it was goodcatching up man i’m sure i’ll see you soon for some wave riding.

Of all the places you’ve traveled, what was the most memorable and why?I think everywhere I’ve been has bean great for some reasons. You learn so much from where you are and how other people act and what you really take for granted. But if i have to pick one it would be the mount. Traveling back there makes you remember why you love it so much. Your home is your home nothing can change that.so yea the mount is the most memorable place I’ve traveled to.

Jake Macartney : Now here’s someone on the other end of the spectrum. Not only is he a very Talented artist and surfer, but Jake is also the menswear designer for the well known New Zealand brand RPM and all of this at the ripe old of 22.

Jakes a man about town who hates wherein shoes so it’s a good thing he’s a surfer. Here’s a small Interview I did with Jake and some of this art work that’s very inspiring.

Hey Jake how’s it going?Yeah good man, just hanging outfor summer.

So can you fill us in on your latest creative endeavors?I’ve been super lazy recently but during the winter months I was lucky enough to do some work for French magazine Desillusion. It was rad to be a part of their guest editor series, drawing mainly portraits of some really influential people in the surf/skate/music scene.

i g e n e r a l l y j u s t

s t u m b l e u p o n

i d e a s r a n d o m l y

What kind of things inspires you?Nothing really in particular inspires me... I generally just stumble upon ideas randomly from magazines, websites, and people on the street, things like that. These ideas are usually few and far between however so I’d be screwed if I had to force out a bunch of work in a short amount of time for an exhibition or something.

Besides frothing on surfing what else do you do in the mount?During the week I try stay busy... runs up the mount, indoor soccer BYO’s. Weekends are key to keeping ya sanity during winter over here though, there generally pretty festive all year round and it’s epic being surrounded by a good bunch of like mindedpeople who enjoy life.

So you have working with some pretty rad people over the years is there anything you have especially liked doing?Yeah I feel I’ve been very fortunate considering my lazy demeanor haha. The one thing that stands out for me though is doing the Dion Agius sig-nature series prints for Globe. I was working on my final illustration project in my third year at Wintec and de-cided to send him a link to my shitty little blog... he got back to me straight away with a rough proposal to do some T-Prints, I was shocked that he even replied.

So you have been out of study for two years now? How’s the real world treating you?It took a little while to get used to, that’s for sure, going from surfing rags three times a week and doing as little tec work as possible to working full time was a bit of a shock to the sys-tem haha. I’ve been very fortunatehowever to have been picked up by Mike and Ants Smith at RPM, designing the menswear side of things. I’ve been here for one and a half years now and enjoying every minute... epic group of people to work with.

Any plans for summer trips ?Yeah hopefully get a few surf trips up the Coro and maybe down Taranaki ways. Other than that I’ll be saving up for Coachella and Mexico early next year with the lads, YEEEW.

What’s next for Jake?I want to start doing a lot more draw-ing and maybe do an exhibition some time soon, also it’s so flat over here on the east coast so a few surf missions this summer would be good.

Cheers Jake good chatting.

I’m not going to lie but Bali has been done to death by nearly every surfing media, surfer and groupie around the world for many years. And yes i’m going to surf all the obvious places, but for some reason it doesn’t get old to me. Every time I talk to someone about Bali they seem to have there own classic story of the time they got rubbed up the reef at Padang, got a hap-py ending after their massage in a local alley way, scored the best waves of their life or drunk enough bintangs to put a baby rhino to sleep. Either way they’re all good stories, everyone who has come here has left with a memory they will tell there friend, son, cousin, who is left in-trigued as to what there story will be if they trav-

el here.

So far I have been greeted at the airport by some kiwi legends (Kezza, Allister) who hand-ed me a voddy and sprite on arrival. They were my “transport”, got me intoxicated and were half the price of the locals. Since then I have ex-perienced some classic times on the piss, woke up feeling like I had run a marathon after sweat-ing, dancing and sweating. It’s been good times though, 2dollar double doubles, tequila that tasted like unleaded 91 and non-stop laugh-ing. Since getting my little binge out of the way, where’ve been on the road non-stop, which has been epic. Traveling with a few mates which is their first time to Bali has been gold. Everything from Bali belly, getting lost on the scooters, one of them getting fined 400,000 rph for running a red light in front of the cop station, corn rolled hair. It’s all being going on and where’ve still got

another six weeks of this.

I caught up with Willem Ungermann

from Gold Coast, Australia . He has

a passion to share what he see’s in

the ocean that others don’t. Here’s

the interview I did over facebook.

WILLEM

UNGERMAN

UNDER WATER

PHOTOGRAPHY

SURF

Hey Willem thanks for taking time out to do thisInterview 17,000 followers on facebook you must be feeling good to see so many people pumped on what your doing?Hey Sam, yeah I’m totally amped I would had never thought I would have this many likes on my page in 2 months its just got outta control its a really good feeling having this many people appreciate my work.

whats your background how did you get into shooting under the water?I used to surf since I was a young child it was only last year when I brought my first camera it was a go pro and I was loving it. Then I decided to spend some money on a real decent camera. I don’t surf anymore I am that amped on just shooting waves nothing else matters.

So you live on the gold coast you have good waves and warm water where’s your favorite place to shoot?Yeah the weather here is really nice for lighting my photos. My favorite place is kirra for my underwater images I shoot as the water is so clear and everything comes together and makes some nice photos!!

How many hours a week would you spend in the water?I would say 3-4 hours a day you do the math hahah.

Have you come across any guys in gray suit’s while shooting?I haven’t came across sharks as yet but it would make a good photo ha.

You must have had some good beating hanging in the shorie is there any that have really stuck in your mind?I have had a flogging this one time and landed on my shoulder and done some serious damage but I guess it’s all worth it to get that 1 shot.

What do you like more shooting above or below the water?I love shooting below under the ocean as anyone can shoot above water but underwater is really tricky for your settings and all of that and too nail a great shot is a lot more work.

When you go and shoot do you have a shoot in mind you want to get or do you just see whathappens when you’re out there?I usually have something in my mind of what I’mafter, but you rarely get it, to get that one rad shot feels like winning lotto only no money just feels good to nail it.

Is there any spots you really want to shoot or a shoot you really want to get? I want to shoot places that no one has shot, so everyone gets amped off seeing it as no one has seen the image before that’s what I’m hunting for.

What’s next for you any projects on the go?I guess my next step is doing more underwater shooting with people and themes try get more arty as I consider what I do is art, and would like for my name to be known for not just shooting waves but for having a impact on people.

Thanks so much for doing this and all the best in the future you’re onto something good man. Keep it up.Thank you Sam it was my pleasure always glad to help out anytime.

Hey Dion how are you?Where abouts in the world are you at the moment?Good thanks, just kicking it in France with Dane and Ando at the moment trying to chase some little tubes for Andosnew film he’s working on.

You’re apart of the sickest projects like dear suburbia did you have much in put into the movie? Dear suberbia and lost atlas etc are all kais doing, we just jump on the trips and have a good time, its so fun working on those projects. Everyone is really good friends and we always have such a rad time.

a g i u sSo that Electric blue heaven clips been out for a fewmonths now how was having that wave pool in the desert to yourself where you nervous surfing in front of all those Russian models?It was such a rad experience, that wave pool was about as much fun as you could ever have. It took a while to get used to surfing in chlorinated water as it changes the way your surfboard floats in the water. But yeah surfing in front of 10 models was definitely abit nerve racking, I felt bad every time I fell off a wave.

How many days did it take to shoot that clip?We were there for about five days all up, but we did most of the shooting the last few days. The Russians were only there for the last day so we had to try and nail as much stuff as we could while they were there which was pretty scary.

What inspires you to do what you do?I think I might have a mild case of adhd so my brain is constantly going a million miles an hour. I think that’s the main thing that keeps me busy and trying to do a hundred things at once all the time. I find it pretty much impossible to sit still. But im inspired by a lot of the young guys in surfing now and older guys like ozzie wright and Dane who like to think outside the box and help shape and build the free surfing world into what its becoming.Thanks Dion
