Know your 2010 Fluidzone Shark Island Challenge Riders

Postby doclach » Fri May 21, 2010 10:59 am

A lot of new crew are coming into boog who may not know much about the riders in this year's SIC , plus there are some lads returning to the scene we haven't heard of for a while.
One of the most accurate and indepth online archives has been developed by Kelly Footit from South Africa's rad Bodyboard mag Sixty40 http://www.sixty40.co.za/ If you haven;t seen this solid mag, you are missing out. the pics are crisp, articles indepth, plenty of variety and all set in eye catching layout with super-pro and rocking pro Graphic Designer and illustrator, bodyboarder and 'human' Samuel Sampi Kamffer http://www.one2love.co.za/
I'll be putting links next to each rider (where they are available) from Sixty40's archive and from the Rippy forum here where I've done interviews so you can get into their profiles some more and get hyped for the beast when she (the heaving, grinding bitch) comes alive :twisted:
Phil at Fluidzone is also doing a compilation of the riders, so I'll add those links in as they come to hand.

A great way to support your fave riders is to give them some encouraging comments in their threads, it helps them psyche up more than you know!
Looking forward to a massive comp.

I've listed the sponsors beside each rider. When you get a chance, support the companies that support bodyboarding and allow massive events like this to happen 8)

yeah, just pray or cross your fingers or whatever it is you do that today's swell hangs and continues that slight E swing and the wind stays more W than N til lunchtime....`

Was the Island surf-able today? Swellnet said it and the point were only spots in cronulla able to be surfed. But was it more of a washing machine?

basically a washing machine Conjob.

I spoke to Lester this afternoon late and he said there were a few good looking waves inbetween the sets, which is a positive sign for tomorrow, some useable direction sitting in it, same as i saw around here - hints of East influence

Rotten luck with these swells. Its looking 4ft tomorrow at best with wrong direction. Although todays spike was a positive.

Swell was good direction for the most part and waves were glassy with soft offshores. Nice to see some 6 footers come through.
Riders went hard - respect and congrats
