WATCH | DAVE RASTOVICH IN HIS ELEMENT DURING NORTHERN NSW’S AUTUMN SWELL

“Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.”

A reading of Mary Oliver’s poem Wild Geese opens the latest collaboration between long time creative partners, Nathan Oldfield and Dave Rastovich. Shot over consecutive mornings during the long, recent run of North Coast autumn swell, In the Family of Things is Dave in his element, doing his thing.

Which is all it needs to be.

WAJUNG: FEATURING DAVE RASTOVICH

'Wajung' is the name given to the bottlenose dolphin by the Arakwal People, the traditional custodians of this region of Bundjalung Country on the Far North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Wajung can live for over fifty years and they typically live as a community as residents along a particular stretch of coast. As a result, they know the local seascape intimately.

Wajung are an important totem for Saltwater People. Wajung give messages about relationships between clan members, create links between ancestors and the past and also help to connect people with places and events in Country.

There are many stories of Wajung and Saltwater People communicating and interacting with one another, including cooperative fishing practices, sharing resources together and participating in mutual play in the sea.

SURF - BLUE HORIZON

The world's most renowned surfing cinematographer, Jack McCoy, spends two years following two of the world's greatest surfers: Andy Irons, a highly competetive and driven surfer, set on beating Kelly Slater and winning the world title, and Dave "Rasta" Rastovich, a free surfer who is more about the soul of surfing. The result: Blue Horizon, a documentary made to bring surf movies back to the big screen, where "they truly belong".

Board Tales, Episode 1 - Rasta in Byron

Video from: Billabong
Episode 1 of Board Tales takes place in Byron Bay at the residence of Dave Rastovich. Dave candidly describes stories of pivotal boards in his life found through travel, friendship and the common bond of wave riding. Dave describes each board along with the approach, feel and mindset behind them. In the end, we learn that Dave has chosen to give away most of these boards so that others can experience the same happiness through these crafts that he has - a truly selfless act.
