Hans Hagen stopped by the Catch Surf factory today to pick up some new prototype surfboards. Hans is one of our test pilots for all the new boards and is definitely one of the top shredders in Laguna!

Note to people who want free stickers!!
Friday, June 11th, 2010
Thank you everyone for sending the cool art, pictures and other sweet stuff for the free stickers, but you MUST include a SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE if you want free stickers to be sent back. We’ll hook up the sticker goodness, but we need a SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE to put them in.

A shop that is right down the street from us that has been a Catch Surf supporter since the beginning is ebodyboarding.com, so today we would like to shed a little light on them in our blog world. Ebodyboarding is ran by Jay Reale (pictured aboved with his magazine covers) and his wife Vicki who are both former professional bodyboarders turned shop owners in San Clemente. Not only is Jay a shredder bodyboarder, he also rips his Catch Surf Y-Quad and Swizzle on a weekly basis!

Some Beaters for the Analog riders
Thursday, June 10th, 2010
We custom stamped a couple Beater’s for Geoff Moysa and the Analog team guys to have fun on up in Newport this summer. Geoff is super sick at finless surfing and we’re sure he’ll be getting his Beater shred on around Newport. If you like the way these special Beaters are stamped, you can note (Analog stamping) in the comments box when purchasing your Beater and we can custom stamp yours up just like these.
We even did some stamping on the bottoms of these. The Beater on the left has black bottom stamps and the one on the right has chrome bottom stamps which is kind of hard to see because of the reflection, but it looks pretty cool.

Ring of Fire II Premiere
Monday, June 7th, 2010
This past Saturday the Ring of Fire 2 premiere went down at the Elk’s lodge in San Clemente and it went off! Over 500 people showed up for the premiere and the video was nothing short of a sick display of bodyboarding. Even Ryan Sheckler and his crew showed up to watch the vid. Check out the wrist bands to get in with the Division 71 logos! Catch Surf was proud to be the main sponsoring company of the video.
The stars of the show Rob Isambert (maker of the vid) on the right with John “BEANS” Porzuczek who is now riding for Division 71 bodyboards. We are stoked to have a high caliber US rider like BEANS on the Division 71 team and his skills were showcased well in the closer segment of the video.
The opening of Bean’s segment showed his new Division 71 board which he rode in the Division 71 commercial and got some sick barrels with a helmet cam! Get the video, you’ll see the commercial, it got some good yells when it played at the premiere.
The ticket with the Catch Surf logos on the bottom.
There was no shortage of people, check out the line to get in for the second showing…
The Beater Johnny Redmond commercial on the big screen. Grab your Beater is summertimmmmeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
Mike “Maccadeath” Maccarone also had some sweet cameo’s in the video and whether he’s riding a Beater or a bodyboard, Mike rips!
Some of the Catch Surf crew at the premiere having a good time.
Keaton Moody was one stoked grom as he won a Division 71 Super Deluxe board at the premiere. Stoked!
Some of the SC Boys having good times at the premiere.
So when they threw out some swimfins that weren’t Stealth, well the kids threw them back. Too funny…..
The stoked grom who won the Stealth fins, kept a firm grip on them (as you can see by the hand creases on the box) and was super psyched to get them. Stealth S.02 fins are pure power!
Ring of Fire t-shirts.
Looks like some Beater street teamers were on the prowl before the promo too!
