The Porsche 928 Surfari is a remarkable project that combines the worlds of Porsche and surfing, showcasing how these two passions can come together to create something exceptional. The project originated from a close-knit surfing community in Poland, led by Tadeusz Elwart, who had a deep love for both cars and the ocean.
Tadeusz’s introduction to the world of Porsche by his father ignited a lifelong passion for automotive excellence. Growing up near the sea, his dream of combining his love for Porsche with his coastal lifestyle led to the creation of the 928 Surfari. This unique vehicle was designed to be a versatile off-road Porsche capable of transporting surfers to the beach quickly.
The transformation of the classic Porsche 928 into the rugged Surfari was a significant undertaking. With the expertise of engineer and rally driver Tomasz Staniszewski, the car was modified to meet the demands of off-road driving while maintaining its powerful performance. The Surfari’s distinctive design was crafted by the talented Lange & Lange brothers, reflecting the spirit of the Hel Riders festival.
The Surfari made its debut at the Hel Riders festival and later embarked on a road trip to various destinations, showcasing its capabilities. Its presence at events like the Petro-Surf air-cooled Porsche festival in Germany and the island of Rømø in Denmark highlighted its unique blend of automotive excellence and surfing culture.
As the 928 Surfari continues to make waves, it stands as a symbol of adventure and the joy of the open road. This one-of-a-kind vehicle is ready to embrace the next chapter of its journey, embodying the excitement of exploration and the thrill of chasing the next wave.
