Dre was just on Empire. Quick change of board sponsor yet again. Anybody know anything about this?
Perhaps something to do with Eddie Solomon's condition?

2 days after I get this he signs with Milk bodyboards

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1054&start=285

He quit Empire because Eddie apparently froze his travel money and they had a small disagreement if facebook is anything to go by.

Dre's new ride for Milk Bodyboards. Unsurprisingly it looks like all his other boards just with different brand name.

Anybody that says Andre Botha has lost it, is a washed up has been, is useless, only surfs closeout dude is wrong. Check that video. Super super late take off at pumping pipe, to an incredibly stylish tube, comes out with a massive hack off the top.
f@king love this dude. He does what he wants, when he wants and lives life to the fullest!

I have nothing but love and respect for the man!
Big call, but I reckon Andre Botha is probably one of the greatest bodyboarders ever. Write me off or whatever, but that's what I reckon!
