Havaianas | Aquabumps Collaboration

Knack studios created 4 films to document the Havaianas collaboration with beach photography institution Aquabumps.

The featured print on the Havaianas pair by Aquabumps ‘The Caribbean Look’ captures a busy summer’s day, on Australia’s iconic Bondi Beach. A tribute to our picture-perfect coast, it details bathers dotted along Bondi’s sandy shores and crustal blue water. To showcase how this shot was created we followed photographer Eugene Tan up above the iconic Sydney coastline and showcase how he photographs the beaches from above.

The story behind the collaboration was executed in 4 videos and shared across multi digital platforms including Youtube, Facebook and Instagram.

Road to the Pro


(You really should watch in HD – so much better!)

Our latest work with Aquabumps and Land Rover celebrates the famous surf route in the short film ‘Road to the Pro’, a road trip from Sydney to the Gold Coast’.

Beginning in Sydney and ending at Snapper Rocks a total of 844 km’s – The home of the Quiksilver Pro, the first stop on the ASP calender at the infamous Super Bank – Snapper Rocks.

The trip is quintessentially Australian, adventure surf tripping with a likeable bunch of surfers and following the vision of ::Uge and Aquabumps. The beach lifestyle presents surfers with style, road-tripping the east coast in search of empty barrels, good times, beautiful scenery and meeting colourful character locals & wildlife along the way.
