SkuffTV's Weekly Skid #11

Highlights from this year's Quiksilver bowlriders skate event on the Gold Coast. We drop in on the latest leg of Indonesia's pro-surfing tour, the Quiksilver Open at Lakey Peak.

And in Muzik we meet DrawCard, a young Gold Coast band who're getting a little help from all the right people in dropping their first album "Modern Rivalry" - currently getting the finishing touches from US producer Sylvia Massey, who's worked with the likes of Tool, the Chilli Peppers, and System of a Down... so she must have some idea what she's doin', right?
