Spencer Skipper joins MANTA ! The rumor was actually true. The LMNOP boat wasn’t floating too good appearently (see Spencer Interview on Movementmag.com a couple weeks ago) and Spencer needed a new sponsor. Good for him, the folks at MANTA are now supporting Spencer. Such a stylish and talented rider couldn’t be left out there with no sponsors. Spencer is seriously one of the most stylish rider ever. Give the guy some $$$ and send him on trips, we wanna see some good riding and stylish moves from Spencer ASAP !!!

Here’s the official release about the sponsorship by the way:
Spencer Skipper Joins the Manta Pro Team
Manta is happy to announce their latest signing of Hawaiian Spencer Skipper. Skipper has been long regarded as one most stylish riders in the business and seemed pretty stoked about the new deal. “I’m stoked on the new deal. It gives me the chance to travel and do what I love doing best. I’ll be hanging on the North Shore for the Hawaiian winter and plan on surfing Pipe as much as possible. Then heading down to Oz for there winter to do some team trips with the boys.”
Reon Fisher Manta’s team manager commented. “It’s cool; Skip has always been one of my favorite riders. He has that really unique style of riding that I don’t think anyone else can really mimic. I’m looking forward to getting some good shots of him from the Hawaiian season and getting him out here for the Aussie winter.”
Keep an eye out for the Manta Skipper pro model out in 2010.
