Q: What is the Vans Duct Tape? A: It’s a way of looking at surfing. Drawing on the past to inspire the future. Sharing experiments in board design, learning about the people who have changed the course of surfing, and having a good time with friends.
The Duct Tape Festival
This year, the all-inclusive beach celebration honoring innovation, creativity and craftsmanship in surf culture is back.
The Duct Tape Festival, happening in July and hosted in Cape Town, South Africa, will feature four internationally renowned surfer/shapers to present a library of their own hand-shaped custom surfboards to share with the public and with local NGO JUJU Surf Club and their community. The event removes the barrier between athlete and spectator providing attendees the chance to engage directly with athletes through surfing, art, music and a sharing of ideas.
