We are happy to report the Globe Pro Fiji went off in epic conditions at Restaurants and Cloudbreak. Thanks to all who watched the live webcast!
The current World Champ, Mick Fanning, took home the first annual Freestyle Tube Time Award and $2,000.00 for his epic tube ride at Restaurants,
and none other than 8-time World Champ Kelly Slater took home the victory, his 3rd of the season! We imagine Kelly and Occy are discussing how much they like Freestyle. Kelly’s saying, “Darn Occy, I wish I could be back on the Freestyle team like I was in the 80’s!” Occy replies, “No kidding mate, I need to get me one of those Shark Watches, it’s the raddest watch ever!”
Cha-Ching, can you say photo incentive? We are busting out the check book right now! Team rider Nic Lamb just landed on the cover of the August issue of Transworld Surf rocking the Red/White Shark Classic and primo freestyle sticker placement. Aspiring pro surfers take note; this is a team manager’s dream! Way to go Nic, your had work is paying off, congratulations! In case you haven’t noticed Nic is charging all over the place, check out this sequence…DID HE MAKE IT?
Our good buddy Tyler Martin, who you may remember from his Broken Face, has unfortunately built up some hefty medical bills. It’s not cheap to put a face back together, especially if you don’t have medical insurance. So if you can afford it and want a cool new t-shirt, please help support Tyler by purchasing a Benefit T-shirt from Ayer Clothing. All proceeds go to Tyler’s medical bills. Tyler will be grateful!
I’m droppin a big ole end of the week thanks for all the peeps out there that ran with the Cory Lopez press release. He’s a great athlete to have on the program so we appreciate all the support we recieved in getting the word out like Surf Junkie Jeff’s Beach Blog. And while we were digging around we found a couple other cool folks helping out the cause like OhjackieOh’s Midtown Holding Pattern ode to the Shark Classic. Good on ya Jackie, we brought the Shark back to make everybody feel young again. That’s all for now folks, I’m signing off and getting the weekend off the ground with an evening surf session.
