Four nights, back to back, a welcomed chore. Time to converse, laugh and make merry with a pint full of Deus Family and friends that have come into town for the 8th Annual Deus Slidetoberfest, albeit… More

For the fourth and final day of Slidetoberfest 2018 we whacked on the handbrakes and drove back to our roots. At eight in the am, we drifted in as sleep left, to one of the last… More

Eyelids were heavy and bodies moved in rote. No one was doing anything fast. Some questioned whether riding from the safety of Canggu into the back blocks of Bali was even a good idea after a… More

Who doesn’t like a trip to the seaside? Most don’t know that surfing was where Slidetoberfest all began. It was the germ of the original idea when we started this whole shebang in the first place…. More

The Deus Slidetoberfest is probably one of the funnest things you can do while you’re still breathing. In the past seven years, we had been honing the event to resemble everything we wanted to do in… More

Any reason to get thirty thousand of my new best friends together is a great reason to jump on a plane and fly a couple of thousand K’s. KustomFest has been running for the past 6… More

Irene Hoff sits down. She has one of those direct gazes that holds you while she speaks, there’s no wandering regard here. She is quick with a joke which she delivers precisely in her heavily Dutch… More

The “Geng Tril Tua” as the vintage two-stroke aficionados call themselves in Indonesia has been slowly making converts from one end of the archipelago to the other. You could really see the increased numbers who modify… More

The fourth and final board in Harrison’s 2018 quiver, well, you could say it was the board we’d been waiting for… Or perhaps I should say it was what we expected, finally, a tiny one! There… More

Satu, dua, tiga… the third board Harrison shaped for his rather eclectic 2018 quiver, would have to be wildest. Its length is 7’1” and when we asked him the width, all was got was a rather… More

If you’re one of those who’ve been keeping an eye on what we’ve been up to over the past decade here at the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm, you’d have noticed that we love Fish… and not… More

Here at the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm one of the things we are most proud of is our ‘Shapers in Residency’ program. The list of names of those who we’ve been incredibly lucky to have frequent… More

The only thing that rumbled more than the earthquake in Indonesia last week was the Indian Ocean. A gigantic storm turned the forecasting maps to a rarely seen colour, that of white. And white was not… More

There ain’t nothing like a three-hour ride pre-dawn without a pair of goggles. At 80km’s an hour the eyes really start to water. Add to that the dim headlight of a rental bike and we were… More

Forget beaches, bars, and inexpensive eating, Bali’s Enduro scene is where it’s at! Just a hop skip and a jump from the Deus Temple in Canggu, Enduro culture is alive and well. During a recent stint… More

This is what happens when you mix empty winding roads, that are warped along the edges of the rich green terraced rice paddies with a fever for movement. At the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm, when the wave gods haven’t… More
