Morning of the Mo

One Mo - Once Covered the World,
It was Morning of The Mo

Morning of the Earth transformed the surf movie genre in the late 60s and early 70s as an artistic portrait of counter-culture and alternative lifestyles throughout Australia, Bali and Hawaii. The Morning of the Mo surf event relives the glory days captured by Albe Falzon in the Morning of the Earth surf movie, bringing back the Mo to surf fashion, to help change the face of men's health within the surf community. It's a grass roots event with all competitors required to sport a Mo and ride a pre 1980's stick to enter. All proceeds of the event go to Movember's beneficiary partners.

We are heading back to the Byron - Ballina coast on November 21st for another weekend of old school fun and games, a snag in bread and even a wave.

Morning of the Mo is aimed at fun, the Mo, and uniting surfers to change the face of men's health. We thank Albe Falzon and all the original Morning of the Earth crew for all their inspiration and support.

Al Eggins: "To the Movember Group - Congratulations and thanks for running some great events. A good friend of mine for over 40 years was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer so I decided to go the Mo and help in my small way. Living on the north coast of NSW I thought there would be nothing to participate in until I looked properly at the Movember website.

I spent the morning yesterday at the 'Morning of the Mo' surf contest in Ballina and was greatly encouraged by the number of young men involved who made a real effort to do the 70's thing for men's health. Events like this can only help to raise awareness of the issues in men's health, in these young men and their friends. Well done and keep up the good work."
