This is more of an Australian-only news but it’s news and it’s our job to put any news in the light, so here you go:

Brendon Backshall and his board sponsor Manta are offering two lucky groms the chance of a lifetime! A year’s sponsorship on the Manta pro team that also includes Spencer Skipper and Tommy Smith. Plus the winner will also get to go on a Riptide exclusive photo trip with Brendo and other members of the Manta team.

To win this rad prize you will need to enter the Brendon Backshall Teenage Riot held at Mandurah Wedge, WA on the 3rd-4th April. There will be two divisions U/15’s and U/20’s. Brendo and his pals will be on hand to judge and offer some advice to competitors on the day. There will also be other cool prizes on the day provided by Manta, Reeflex wetsuits, I Am None clothing and Riptide magazine. All money raised over the weekend will be donated to the charities www.jaago.com.bd and www.beyondblue.org.au
