Sesión del 24 de enero de 2010 from murciasurf on Vimeo.
Oscar Torres all the way from El Galua (which I think is in Spain?) sent us a cool video of his friend Edu, busting out in some small but fun surf! Check it out, he even hung 5 on a 6′ Y-Quad!!! The Y-Quad’s work insane in smaller surf!
Bill Bryan brought us some footage of him surfing the Beater board on the recent run of swells and it’s pretty amazing he can ride this finless board in the bigger stuff. The finless is not really meant for this type of surf, but Bill showed us it’s do-able and not only that a lot of the footage is switch stance!
Yesterday the nakisurf.com crew came by the Catch Surf factory including the infamous Naki himself all the way from Hawaii. They were psyching on the new FCS fin system in the Y-Quads. Naki and Taro just opened a sick office in San Clemente right down the street and are continuing to kill it in the Japanese market. Check it out. www.nakisurf.com.
Lotta surfboard talk going on.
With this last run of swell lingering, Salt Creek had some fun surf on tap for January 24th and 25th. Above is a picture of Taylor Page scooping a nice one on 1-24-10. Taylor got some pretty clean pits this day and was getting good down the line speed with the Black Lite core.
T Page again with the stylish dropknee rock’n'roll floater off a nice Salt Creek section.
Taylor rolled up to the beach with Shane Sheckler from the hit MTV show, Life of Ryan. Shane was getting some sick backside nuggets all morning long.
The morning of the 25th also saw some really fun waves at Salt Creek. Chris Monroe (pictured here) and Joel Manalastas were able to find a peak to themselves at gravels, which served up some fun little ramps and open faces.
The landing.
Catch Surf sales manager Joel Manalastas bashing one at gravels. Every morning at Salt Creek you can find Joel drinking coffee and checking it from the bridge. If you see him there, stop him and ask for a free board.
The cutty reverse.
Good board. Black Lite core.
Frank Markovich out of New Jersey has one pretty dope surfboard quiver and the Beater board is the icing on the cake! We designed the Beater board for guys like Frank who enjoy all the different aspects that riding waves has to offer! All Frank needs now is a Y-Quad and a Swizzle! If you or any of your friends have riding shots or quiver shots with Catch Surf gear, send them in, we would love to share them!
January 22nd and 23rd brought some heavy surf to the west coast and mokitom.com shared some sweet photos he clicked during the swell. Here is a pretty cool shot of a bodyboarder scoping a heavy empty right coming through at Aliso on the 22nd.
An unknown bodyboard scoops into a nice foamy shack! If anyone knows who this is, let us know!
Our Division 71 guy Chris Monroe paddled out solo at gravels and was able to pick off a few big walls, but later found the paddle was the reason for no one else being out. Chris reported that the Black Lite core worked insane in the chunkier conditions.
Division 71’s new grom Taylor Page hit up a secret spot in Laguna and scored some pretty heavy pits including this little doozie! Taylor was riding his prototype Black Lite 39″ board.
With gravels being a little unmanagable, Chris met up with Taylor in Laguna to get a couple corners. The little bowls allowed for clean barrels and fun open face manuevers. Keep checking back as we will be adding more shots from the recent run of swells.
Division 71 bodyboards welcomes Virginia Beach bodyboarder Jeremy Miekle to the team. Division 71 is focused on supporting local rippers from all the different coasts and will be making more team announcements from the East Coast soon!
Division 71 bodyboards is proud to announce San Clemente’s Taylor Page to the team. Taylor has been one of the standout groms in Southern California for years and has many competitive accolades which includes being a former BIA tour champion and high school team champion. Taylor is stoked on the new boards and is sure to be featured more on this site in the future. Division 71 bodyboards will be shipping this spring!
This is a picture of our boy Libo, he is the coolest cat ever, he shapes boards with his Ponch glasses on and rocks the white Allstars and jean jacket! The Catch Surf factory where even the shapers are bad ass cool!
Striking a pose. Bad Ass….
