The Spider Hydro X 60 Surfboard @ 400 is a cracking surfboard ideal for summer slop and the nice stuff. Its also a reall good looker and one of our best selling surfboards.

Rip Curl F Bomb Chest Zip Wetsuit

Oh my god, finally we have in stock the chest zip version of one of our best selling winter wetsuits. Our customers have been screaming for the chest zip version of the f bomb for ages now. We have asked Rip Curl to produce the chest zip version for a while and they have answered our call.

We have to say this wetsuit looks awesome, we just need some colder weather to try it out. We are sure it will be just as warm as the back zip Rip Curl F Bomb but have way more flex as theres no zip on the back. This wetsuit is going to be a warmer version of the ultra fexible E Bomb wetsuit.

Taylor Jensen and Lindsay Steinriede Take the Win Over Global Field

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

ASP LQS 1-Star Men’s event
ASP LQS 1-Star Women’s event
Huntington Beach, California
5 – 6 June 2010

Surfers compete on the ASP LQS in hopes to finish within the top of their regional ratings to eventually qualify for the ASP World Longboard Tour (WLT).

Jensen, who is a two-time ASP North America Longboarding Champion and perennial standout on the ASP WLT, added another victory to his plethora of wins at Huntington Beach when he claimed the WLA Pro over fellow finalist Ned Snow (Wailua, HI), 25, after ousting former ASP World Longboard Champions Bonga Perkins (HAW), Josh Constable (Noosa, AUS) and ASP North America Longboard ratings leader Kai Sallas (Waikiki, HI), 28.

Im stoked, Im not sure how many contests Ive won here at Huntington now, Jensen said. This is definitely the place that Ive won the most events. I think that when I know Ill be competing in Huntington, I enter the contest with extra confidence. It just reminds me of surfing at home in Oceanside.

Jensen has adapted a more relaxed approach to competition and feels that his calm demeanor continues to assist in his success. I always feel like I surf better when Im not putting pressure on myself, Jensen said. I really just enjoy coming up to the events to see everyone and have fun and when I keep that in mind I seem to do better in events.

Steinriede marched through an impressive field of talent including fellow Californian Kaitlin Maguire (Ventura, CA), 22, and Kelly Nicely (Oceanside, CA), 31, before topping Leah Dawson (Oahu, HI), 23, in their Final matchup.

Im pumped right now, Steinriede said. There were so many good surfers in this event from Hawaii and Nava (Young) from Australia, so Im really happy to have won with all of the talent in this event.

The talented regular-footer relied on her selective wave strategy as an accomplice and her patience paid dividends. Todays conditions were some of the best that weve had, Steinriede said. I just decided when I paddled out that I wasnt going to worry about the scores too much and just focused on picking the best waves and surfing them the best that I could.

Waves

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Bit of a misty start to this morning at Porthtowan. Waves seem a bit slack but with good period. There’s a odd wave that comes through with some punch at around 5ft. Let’s see if lushies can hold the wave later as the tide pushes out. Not looking forward to the crowds later, you can tell summer is here.

Aritz Aranburu Claims ASP 6-Star Maresia Surf International in Brazil

Monday, May 24th, 2010

FLORIANOPOLIS, Santa Catarina/Brazil (Sunday, May 23, 2010) – On the decisive heat of the event, Aritz Aranburu took two regular waves to claim the title of Maresia Surf International 2010 in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The Brazilian Rodrigo Dornelles was second place, finalized the 12.67×6.67 points in the good waves at Mole Beach in Sunday.

“I’m so happy. It was a very good event for me, we had some pretty hard days and today everything went right to me,” said Aritz Aranburu, who jumped from 60th to the 35th place on the newASP World Rankings. “Unfortunately, we could not get good waves in the final, I did not surf my best, but that was good enough to win. Rodrigo (Dornelles) is a great surfer and was a pleasure to make the final against him. It’s great to win here in Brazil.”

Rodrigo Dornelles chose to surf on the lefthander, while the surfer from the Basque Country decided for the right. The first wave was just on the regular range for Aritz Aranburu, who scored 5.67. Dornelles risking everything on the waves, but always missing the second maneuver. Aranburu confirming the win in his last wave, when he got a 7.00 pts ride to close the scoring heat in 12.67×6.67 points.

“I felt myself lucky during all competition, just lost that feeling now in the final. Even so, I can not complain, but really wish to have won the event,” said Rodrigo Dornelles, which built up from 59th position 76.a for the ASP World Ranking.

“At this heat my opponent was the ocean. I could not do anything else even one turn in any single wave. The only one I could have done better, falling just because I everything in a very strong move and the board took off, so it was not for myself. Okay, I’m happy to make a final heat again,” said Dornelles.

Waves are back!

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

The tool for the job at hand today was a performance 9’0” longboard shaped by Keith Beddo. The waves were around 4ft on the set and the water was nice and glassy! The wind was a light westerly which didn’t messy with the form of the wave.

All in all a good session, but still too cold for a summer wetsuit! I have only just taken of my wetsuit boots, wetsuit gloves and slipped into my 4/3mm wetsuit. The water is still really cold for May, but fun today!
