Ambient Lounge Bean Bags

A great week was had by all down at the 2007 Rip Curl Boardmasters in Newquay, Cornwall � and it�s a shame to come back to the reality of work and peak hour traffic.

In the wash up from the event, our team got the chance to hang out with a cool bunch of like-minded creative people, athletes and artists amidst a backdrop of some good summer weather, reasonable waves and a soothing breeze.

The sea of Ambient Lounge bean bags located in the Relentless� sponsored artist�s area was where we found up & coming Punk popstars Matt & Kim, playing around out of the limelight. Kim was full of smiles and it was great to see this likable duo enjoying themselves both on and off the stage. Do yourself a favour and check out their website mattandkimmusic.com

Off we went to the main arena to check out some of our favourites like Scott Matthews, Paulo Nutini and Newton Faulkner perform. Paulo�s cover of Moby�s �Natural Blues� and Scott�s �Elusive� were personal highlights of the weekend and got the crowd buzzing. It was a shame that their managers wouldn�t let us take pics of the guys lounging around on our gear - but you can take our word for it that they loved the palatial designer bean bag comforts that awaited them out the back.

If you get our drift, not even the friendly Ambient Lounge �paparazzi� were allowed to take photos in this VIP area. There were lots of oversized men patrolling the gates, with seemingly tighter security than if George Bush was taking a stroll down Baghdad�s main street!

Nonetheless, Ruarri Joseph, who released his debut album with Atlantic records in June, was happy for us to take some shots. Our Studio Lounger bean bags provided some well deserved relaxation time for RJ after an energised set. Check out his website ruarrijoseph.co.uk

Feeling exploratory, we then used our wristbands to great effect; randomly mixing it up with the young, friendly vibrant crowd of surfers, skaters and bmx riders together with those who were there purely for the music.

See you all next year!
