On the way down to Ricky’s little secret spot, the boys stayed at Ceasar’s Palace in Altalntic City for a little gambling, r&r and Beater photo ops. Pic: Chaney

Ricky again, this time it’s an arsty cutty shot with some cool lighting. Pic: Chaney

VB local Matt “Goat” Collins also went on the surf mission with Ricky and was loving the new Stealth S.02 fins for drop knee since they have a shorter straight cut blade. Pic: Chaney

Ring of Fire 2 Trailer from robert isambert on Vimeo.

The premiere is going down on June 5th in San Clemente, the same town where all the Catch Surf boards are produced. If you are in town, make sure to come check it out, the video is going to be SICK!

The maker of Ring of Fire II, Rob Isambert, stopping by the factory and dropping of some posters.

We had the Catch Surf team house in full effect right on the beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Yes, it has a jacuzzi on the top balcony for the relax action after the contest. Big thanks to Bob Hovey, the owner of Duck Village Outfitters surf shops in Duck and Salvo, NC. Pic: GOAT

Waves were smaller today for the remaining bodyboard am divisions of the contest, here Division 71 grom Mike Bain showing his amp for the “ankle slappers”.

The top four bodyboarders of the men’s am bodyboard division with all the Catch Surf loot. It was Division 71’s Taylor Page who barely beat Matt “GOAT” Collins for the win and the killer new Beater.

In the junior am’s bodyboard, Division 71’s Mike Bain was able to edge out NC local boy Cyrus Lewis for the win.

With the average wave this small, the sun blaring and the am contest over early, the boys were keen to make it a Catch Surf afternoon! Pic: GOAT

This is Bubba a shredder bodyboarder who came down from Florida and he was frothing the whole contest to try a Beater and when he got the chance today, he ripped. He killed it skimming it, surfed it insane and got dropknee barrels on it! Pic:GOAT

Taylor Page was on it skimming the ONE again and he decided to do it with sunglasses. This photo is a pretty cool artsy angle of of Taylor throwing frontside skim chunks. Photo:GOAT

Pro bodyboarder Brian Stoehr also got his Beater on in the small little peelers. Pic: GOAT

Taylor also busted out some finless surfing on the ONE. Pic:GOAT

Contest organizers Ricky Miller and Bob Hovey heading down the beach to have some Catch Surf fun after the contest was finally in the books.

After a long beach day, we came back to the Catch Surf house and Ricky hooked up the fruit plates.

Today was the first day of competition at the first annual OBX Shootout in North Carolina that was presented Catch Surf and Duck Village Outfitters. The waves were were small but very clean and contestable and the weather was 90 degrees!

Waves were were glassy with a light offshore all day. An empty one lingers through in between heats.

Some of the competitors checking their heats. Today was all the pro heats and there where two contest zones with one running Pro Surfing and one running Pro Bodyboarding. The contest had a unique format, which had 3 man death heats (one rider advances), man on man and money rounds where competitors win money for each heat they win.

One of East Coast’s top pro surfers Jeff Myers made it down to the contest and was ripping it all day in the Pro Surfboard division. Sorry the action shots aren’t super pro since I was shooting with my point-and-shoot, but ESM magazine was on hand with pro photographers getting shots for the mag.

It was pretty rad how there was giant beach mansions on stilts behind the contest zone and some of the competitors would set up camp under them to stay in the shade and beat the heat.

Our Division 71 grom Taylor Page surfed solid in the event but fell just shy of the money rounds, this is Taylor walking up the beach after his loss to some of the east coast locals.

Instead of getting bummed, Taylor decided to grab his trunks and ONE board and turn the day into an epic tale of radness.

Taylor went down the beach, got his tan on and threw some skim shwacks.

The backside shwack.

Division 71’s other grom Mike Bain, surfed really solid in the comp and managed to make the second biggest stack of cash in the event. This is a zoomed out pic of Bain rolling off a set wave.

The hardware…Pic: GOAT

The surfers were ripping all day and doing some amazing sh*t including 360 airs, big hacks, ally oops, even shuvits but at the end of the day it was Billabong’s east coast air man Lucas Rogers edging out California’s Jesse Evans taking home the most cash and the cherry 2010 Y-Quad with FCS.

The top 2 cash cows of the bodyboard event Mike Bain and Brian Stoehr with Stoehr taking the lions share of dinero and a sick custom stamped Beater which you will probably see him riding this summer in Ocean City, Maryland.

Ricky Miller making it happen by running the mic and also tabulating at the same time. Big thanks to Ricky and Bob Hovey of Duck Village Outfitters for making the event a good day of fun at the beach. Also huge thanks to all the judges including crazy Carl of VB.

Today on the front page of easternsurf.com there was a cool story on the OBX Shootout contest which is starting tomorrow in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Waves are expected to be small but fun and the weather is supposed to be a lovely 90 degrees, so make sure to pack the cooler and your boards and come on down! Check in for competitors starts at 7am.

Darren Akana sent us a nice picture of Cole Yamane rail-grab scooping into a nice little barrel on the Beater somewhere in Oahu. Grab your Beater it’s SUMMERTIME!!!!

Our mid-atlantic rep/teamrider Ricky Miller took a nice little artsy picture of the ONE before going out and skimming it at beautiful Croatan beach in Virginia.

Johnny Redmond now has his own desk and computer at the Catch Surf offices, check him out in all his glory. His facebook and e-mail have been bombarded with fan mail after his acting debut in the new Beater commercial on Surfline.com.

Johnny and Fede pre-Beater commercial fame.

Division 71 grom team rider Taylor Page came by the office today to hang out on the new front office waiting room couch. Taylor is stoked because tomorrow he takes off to North Carolina for the Catch Surf OBX Shootout contest.

The East Coast Division 71 riders sent us some pics of some spingtime action in the Outer Banks North Carolina. This first one is of Division 71 grom Mike Bain pulling into a slabby barrel with perfect style! Pic: Chaney

The man with a plan, Ricky Miller pulling into an icy nugget somewhere in the Outer Banks. Ricky reports that the water is getting a lot warmer and he’s now wearing a 3/2 with no gloves or hood. We are hoping for water in the mid sixties for the OBX shootout contest. Pic: GOAT

Ricky again, this time on a sweet glassy bowl. Ricky busted a sick air reverse on this, but you will just have to wait until the Division 71 website is up to see it. Pic: GOAT

Gobots Miller in the human kaleidoscope.

This dude’s narration is amazing!
