Underground South Coast Charger is Second Turbo 5 Finalist

Underground South Coast Charger is Second Turbo 5 Finalist

The Turbo 5 Sponsorship Campaign

In January 2010 to celebrate the launch of the new Turbo 5 board to our range, Turbo Surf Designs put out the call to the global bodyboarding community to show us the “hottest emerging bodyboard talent in the world to become a member of the Turbo 5 team”. The prize offered was the exclusive opportunity to become a professional bodyboarder as part of the Turbo 5 team, which means global team trips with professional photographers and all the other perks that come with being part of the Turbo professional team. Riders were asked to send video clips and additional information to stake their claim.

To read more, head to the first competition news post here.

Finalist Two – Damien Martin (Australia)
Loads of entries were received from Australia though we ultimately chose this clip of Damien Martin from the South Coast of NSW. Damo is the ultimate underground hero who chased every swell in Australia in 2010 and the rewards are for all to see...

paddled out at latrens once on a road trip by myself. this fella told me to paddle straight in... will catch up with you one day mate... looking forward to it..

-5 #62 2010-07-09 11:32

Hey aussies, come on, give those great waves, those amazing boards you ride, those opportunities you have to travel , give all these to some brazilian riders to see if they would not charge and ride like you guys or even better. With those sick waves in Autralia, great boards, great magazines, videomakers, everything it's your obligation to at least ride well...

+2 #61 2010-07-08 22:32

Fucking Charger!

I met him in puerto escondido last year, was charging harder than any other lid there (peak season).. saw him paddle out at like 12-15ft (not faces) on dark, scary shit..

you deserve to win mate!

0 #56 2010-07-08 15:56

The guy shreads no doubt about it...
But doesnt take away the fact that him and his mates have been smashing windows,slashin g tyres and keying cars down at Le Trennes for years acting like fu@kwits trying to regulate and scare people off.

0 #55 2010-07-08 10:36

winneer full stop

-1 #54 2010-07-08 04:24

A yay man it was either him or one of his little boy friends that smashed at least 3 windows of people that I know.

Quoting Toad:

Dude for everyones information.
He never used to smash anything, there was a huge hype about him and blowing up and smashing stuff. But nothing ever actually happened by his hands.
It stopped a real lot of people coming down though.
Everyone should get their facts right before they go mouthing off...

Charger! Definite Winner!

Quoting jeff dakota:

this guy is alright but i think all they hype is because of the angles he has, if you look at the waves in the finalist number 1's video it would look way gnarlier and better

Quoting Mud Crab:

Can you still win the comp if you a full blown c**t? And also when he walks out of the church at the end is that suppose to be ironic because he is a c**t? Thanks, muddy.

Mud crab. You talk out of your as you nob. Whats ironic about some one walking out of a church? Funny how your the only fuckwit with something bad to say. Obviously an unintelligent KOOK! Go fuck yourself.
Hope you win DAMO. You are ripping!!!

0 #47 2010-07-07 18:01

+8 #45 2010-07-07 16:29

I have seen him surf at what would be his local reef down south. He was pretty nice to me and said g'day. Surfed hard and seemed competitive with himself. Best of luck.

+1 #41 2010-07-07 10:45

Shredding, good to see he didnt just rely on his obviously serious charging skills. big airs, style to boot, complete package.

and in response to ryan, people grow up and priorities change, good luck to him.

+4 #40 2010-07-07 10:16

+2 #39 2010-07-07 04:44

Very high level of riding and it's very good to watch. At least, the first invert and the jump of the step at 1"56 is more than stylish and crazy too!
