Its time to join up for Movember!!

 Below is the short blurb Doc from Fluidzone posted in regards to this year's Movember events. You can find out any info and links that you need in regards to Movember on the website http://au.movember.com/

"It's Moustache Season, so we've decided to do our bit for men's health and commit to grow and cultivate a fine looking moustache during Movember. We're on the hunt for fellow fine and like-minded individuals to join our Modyboarders team. Together we can change the face of men's health.To join our Movember "Modyboarder" team click here

Movember is about raising funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and male depression. Close to 3,300 men die of prostate cancer in Australia each year and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime. Many of these men do not seek help.

We'd like to try and change those statistics.

The more people we can get to join our team, the more lives we can impact. You can either grow a moustache as a Mo Bro, or join as a Mo Sista and help to recruit other Mo growers to the team, or simply promote the page where you can.

Once registered, the Movember team will send you all the information you need to raise funds and start growing as part of our Movember team.

If you'd like to find out more about the type of work you'd be helping to fund by supporting Movember, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website . This is a great opportunity for bodyboarding to reach out to the general community. Modyboarders Team page http://mobro.co/modyboarders

Lester in the Paper

This post is a little overdue, with the National Champs having been held all last week and completed on Sunday!
We would like to extend a big congratulations to all of our Team and Club riders who entered!
Special mentions go out To Andrew Lester, who coming second in the Aussie Pro Tour event secured his 4th Australian Championship Title, and be came the oldest and the youngest competitior to have won the title! Also Aaron Glossop, who won his DK division, making him the National Champ for 2011! This was the first time Azza has entered the national titles, so he has done amazingly well to come out top dog! Jon Capilli is another Emerald rider who entered the event, and Jon came out on top of the Senior Mens division for the second year!
We would also like to say well done to Glen Sullivan, who made 3 finals in various divisions, but unfortunately didn't manage to win any of them. Still, getting to the finals is an achievement in itself!

Today sees Andrew Lester gracing the back page of the local paper, the St. George & Sutherland Shire Leader, celebrating his big win!

Chout The World Official Trailer

Well, it's taken a while but Chout The World is very nearly done! Filmer Rich Lornie has released his official trailer today, and it looks epic! With big heaving barrels and massive boosts from around the world, this vid is sure to get you amped to slay some waves, or get you through those annoying flat spells.

We will keep you posted as to premieres and release dates, but Rich is looking at a late November premiere and early December DVD release.

Jared Houston Mexico Podcast

Jerry's new podcast, from his recent trip to Mexico for the IBA World Tour event at Puerto Escondido, includes some very big barrels, boosts and beatdowns! Jerry keeps moving from strength to strength, and his placing again in the top 10 on the World Tour this year is evidence of that fact.

His new boards - the Turbo V LTD have recently arrived in store, and they feel amazing! Support the young Saffa, check out his crazy Mexico podcast below, and get in and grab one of his boards from Emerald!

Big Dane Woods

Young Emerald rider Dane Woods has sent us through a couple of images of a recent swell he managed to score some waves on. The kid may be a whopping 5' 3" but he has no fear when it comes to charging heavy slabs! When Dane grows a bit and has some more weight to throw around, he will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the big juice!

Thanks to Stork Photo for the shots!

Turbo Has Arrived!

The new Turbo 2012 range has landed. They are looking and feeling amazing! We have the full range of Turbo boards available right now in Emerald, so if you've been waiting for one of these, we have what you want now!

This means that we have all of the new 2012 boards from all of the companies we stock in store now! With the addition of the Turbo boards that arrived late yesterday afternoon, we now have well over 650 boards in store and ready to walk out the door! You'd be hard pressed to find a store that has more boards in stock than what we have right now! Its pretty crazy to see this many boards in one place, and to be honest, we are running out of room for them, so if you need a new sled, come in and hit us up for a deal, and we will see what we can do for you, because we need to move some boards!

Check the images below to see just how many boards we have!

Chout The World Sneak Peek

Good mate of Emerald and local film guru Richard Lornie has released an new 'sneak peak' of his upcoming vid "Chout The World"

The vid looks like it is going to be even more impressive than his previous release Chout. We can't wait to see the finished product, which should be out in around a month's time.

2011 Nissan Reunion Island Pro

The first 4 rounds of the Nissan Reunion Island Pro have been run, and today is looking good to see the final day run. The event has seen good waves, with strong cross-shore winds making high performance surfing dificult, but that has not stopped the guys from going absolutely nuts in the water. They have a very shallow, urchin infested coral reef to contend with, but it seems as though the guys think its a beachie, with some crazy punts being thrown down!

Below are a few of the shots from the first 2 days of competition, which saw a bunch of big names knocked out of the event, including the current top 4 in the World Tour Race. Below is the Quarter Final draw. Tune in from about 2pm Sydney time today to see the final day's proceedings on www.ibaworldtour.com/live or on redbull.tv

Dane Woods on Fluidzone!

Ok. So I've been lagging a bit again since I hurt my shoulder. Again. Sorry. So while I was away, chillin in bed trying to get better, one of our young up-and-coming riders - Dane Woods - has scored the Daily Frame on Fluidzone. The young feela has spent a fair amount of time travelling up and down the coast from where he lives, and it is showing in his surfing. He has improved a lot since he joined the Emerald Team, and he can be seen ripping it up at the up-coming National Titles in Kiama. Dane made it to the finals in both of the State rounds this year in his division, so we are hoping for big things from the little fella!

Here is his Daily frame shot, and be sure to check out http://www.fluidzone.com/galleries/1779-gooding-woods for a small gallery of Dane also on Fluidzone.
