Surf Safari gets a writeup in Surfing World Magazine…
Issue SW326 (May 2012), the rad crew at Surfing World did a feature on AKB’s title Surf Safari. We thank them for the kind words and inspirational footage & stories over the years.
AKB joins the Love2Read initiative…
We have been invited by Robyn Ellard – Project Director of The Library Agency and initiators of The Love 2 Read project + The National Year of Reading initiative. They requested we join forces in promoting the joy of books to kids. We thought this was an awesome idea and one AKB is proud to support & link up with.
GEM MX & AKB join passions/ forces…
We were contacted by the crew at GEM MX enquiring into stocking Skate Session + Surf Safari titles. As we don’t just partner with anyone, we researched their business and were pleasantly surprised. GEM MX is a super sweet Aussie family feeding themselves through business in the retail world.
They are passionate about what they sell, offering a large variety of action sports based products. And we like that.
This is what their website (www.gemmx.com.au) has to say;
We wanted a store that was more about customer service and less about money and notoriety. Providing a platform for smaller, innovative and independent brands that may of otherwise not be seen in an international market. A store that was passionate about keeping our favorite sports alive as much as we are.
This obsession fueled the dream which lead to the creation of Gem MX.

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!
