The Bull Kelp Surfers are supernatural sea creatures said to live in underwater caves of the west coast beaches of Muriwai and Piha.
These briny Men looked like humans, but with blue skins and piercing green eyes. They where infamous for swimming alongside passing ships and stand up paddle boarders and attempting to wreck them by conjuring storms with their furious valve driven reverb, deep salty bass lines and crashing drum beats.
Some think the Bull Kelp Surfers may be descended from monkey-like creatures with saucer-shaped heads, long noses, and a yellowish-green skin known to the Japanese as Kappas. Other researchers are convinced they descend from the gap toothed, long woolly haired water spirits known to the Cameroon as Sawa.
Long time Ally of the Icelandic Kraken, the Bull Kelp Surfers have reached their whispy tentacles deep into the salty trove that is retro surf rock and bought fourth a pirates bounty of savory, splashy depth-charged delights that any land lubber will be sea struck by.
Submit to the Siren call that is The Bull Kelp Surfers, and make your next summer soire a salty one!
