4Play Happenings by Reon “Fish” Fisher
I’ve been pretty busy of late shaping boards and working with our team riders on their new signature models. The range is finally finished and looking incredible…. So I thought I’d take some time out to fill everyone in on some of the weird and wonderful happenings of 4Play over the past few weeks.
First up we have once again collaborated with the Waldron bros for the release of the 4Play Dallas Singer Boom Podcast. Follow the link http://www.vimeo.com/4256235 to check it out, or go to www.waldronbros.com to scope the action from Chad and Kane Waldrons website. The Podcast documents Dallas’s Hawaiian 09’ season starting from my shaping bay in Cronulla and then onto all the North Shore Hawaii action.
Damian King has been busy his next jet ski adventure thru some of Australia’s Southern Coastlines. Keep your eyes peeled for some more big pits from the Kingy.. Also make sure you check out Kings daily blog on
Portmacquarie.iprime.com.au/ there is a classic story up there at the moment of one of his more radical jet ski sessions
The big news I’ve been hanging to announce is our new signing of Thomas Robinson. We are stoked to welcome the Corpse to the team and he has definitely been out there working since coming on. In the last two weeks the lad has done two trips into the South Oz desert and one to the Notorious Shipstern Bluff in Tasmania. Next trip will see Thomas and Dallas team up for a Riptide trip that should see some damn hi-fi tech Bodyboarding go down! Check out the attachment to see Thoms new board models in HPS (Tri-Core), Tech (Polyethelene) & PP (Polypropelene). Make sure you read the Thomas interview regarding the signing in the newest Riptide E-Newsletter. If you aren’t already on the mailing list go to http://riptidemag.com.au/ and sign up.
This season also sees the release of our new Tri-Core. Tri-Core is the next stage in evolution of CCT (Composite Core Technology). Tri-Core is a three layered core with Dow on the top and bottom for the added flex and cushioning while the middle layer is high density foam similar to that of Polypro for rigidity. It’s truly a revolutionary core that I have been testing with the riders for the last six months with nothing but good feedback. I can’t wait for the public to be able to ride this core as it will seriously blow minds.
Besides all that we have our new deck logo for the season to spice things and give the boards a nice clean professional look…
That’s about it from the 4Play Hq… Surf hard and remember 4Play always comes first…
