South Coast Surf Photography Showcase
About the Showcase
Join us for an exhibition celebrating South Coast surfing and beach escapism through the lens of talented local photographers — capturing the stoke when the waves are firing, and even when they’re not!
This exhibition grew out of our “Wave of the Week” posts on Instagram. What started as a way to share standout surf shots has revealed an incredible community of photographers whose work deserves to be seen beyond the scroll — now proudly displayed in print at Shore HQ with Passenger.
Event Details
Date: Saturday 12th September 2026
Time: All-day in-store exhibition, main event from 5:00pm
Location: Shore Watersports, Shore Road, East Wittering
The exhibition runs all day in-store, so swing by any time to check out the shots. From 5pm, we turn it up a notch with DJ, food, drinks and the big community get-together.
We’re also buzzing to have special guest Richard Sutcliffe, founder of Passenger, along with a few of the crew joining us on the night to help celebrate. It’s always a win teaming up with another South Coast brand that shares the same love for the outdoors, adventure and community. Together we’re keeping the stoke local and making this showcase one to remember.
Local Submissions
We wanted this showcase to be more than just invited artists — so we threw it open to the whole South Coast community. The brief was simple: got a shot you love from the beach, the surf, or even just a killer sunset? Send it in.
The response was unreal — over 120 submissions came flying our way. We’ve got everything from heavy surf sessions to golden sunsets, dogs on the sand to curious wildlife. Together they capture the true South Coast vibe, and we’re stoked to plaster them across the walls at Shore. We can’t wait to see everyone’s shots come to life in print and on display.
Patagonia Wetsuit Repair Tour
Got a wetsuit that’s seen better days? Patagonia’s Wetsuit Repair Tour is coming to SHORE, offering free wetsuit and clothing repairs to help keep your favourite gear in use for longer.
Bring along your leaky wetsuits, split seams, fin cuts and well-worn clothing and let Patagonia’s specialist repair team work their magic. Patagonia repairs aren’t limited to their own products either, so bring your busted gear along regardless of the brand.
The idea is simple: repair what you already own, keep it going for more sessions and keep perfectly usable gear out of landfill.
Whether you’ve got something that needs fixing, want to learn more about repairing your own kit, or just fancy coming down for a chat and some surf stoke, come and join us at SHORE.
Free repairs. More time in the water. Less waste.
Repairs are subject to availability and the condition/type of item.
Partners
Big thanks to Patagonia for making this showcase possible, and to Goodrays and Golden Days Brewery for keeping the vibes flowing. This is a true community effort, and we’re stoked to bring everyone together for a day and evening of surf, art, and good times.
We hope the showcase inspires you to get out there — whether that’s paddling out for a wave, catching a sunset, or just walking the beach with friends. See you at Shore, Saturday 12th September.
Featured Photographers
Alongside the community submissions, we’ve also invited a lineup of local surf photographers whose work captures the essence of life on the South Coast. Their images tell the stories of sessions at our home breaks, stormy days, golden evenings, and everything in between.
Full list of invited photographers coming soon…
