Chad Kolcze poetry


Whilst being treated from an allergic reaction, i used the time to draw, write & read. Here is a sample piece of poetry i wrote for my son & daughter:

Energetically prancing
as she comes into bloom.
Which will extend for many years
whilst she dances and swims under the moon.
There are many type of lily’s
but none with so much joy to share.
Tiger-lily grows strong from the inside,
unlike her free flowing hair.
She is entertaining, sanguine and fun,
my golden daughter of one.


Final draft of Shredding Snow (book 3) is now completed

SAMPLE pg.

‘Shredding and shrelping,
jibbing and jumping,
three young creatures
enjoy the snow that’s dumping

(Shredding Snow for release in 2012).
Illustration time.

Congratulations KELLY SLATER


Kelly Slater WINS his 11th World Title at the Rip Curl Pro event…There is much talk that he is a freak, a talent from another planet…because of his amazing surfing skill and achievements.

And back in 2010, Kelly Slater gave Surf Safari the thumbs up and was excited to take home AKB to show his daughter. We are stoked on his surfing, and the fact he is stoked on our surfing book for kids…Awesome!

AKB first sale to Sweden


Dedicated surfer; Tony Kammari of Sweden is the first person in Europe to own their AKB book pack. During the book sale transaction and getting to know Tony slightly, i gained admiration for his bravery and dedication to the ocean. Given that he surfs the waters of Sweden all year round is just unfathomable coming from Byron Bay. And for this reason i’m super stoked he purchased our books for his kids.
