Surf Movie Music Maker Musing
We’ve made a little surf movie featuring a PiwiWiwi Surf Campervan, a shortboard, longboard and of course some surfing! We’ve put a soundtrack on it. Well actually, we’ve put two soundtracks.

Reduce Reuse Recycle In Action
I’m sure most of you know the phrase ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ (Do you fully understand it? Wikipedia doesn’t seem too confident!). Our town, Raglan, is renowned for living with this as a core value thanks to Xtreme waste amongst others. Us at PiwiWiwi try to live in this way too. […]
