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

Mitch Rawlins – Hawaii Vol.3 – Video clip now available ! Watch it here: http://mitchrawlins.com/movies/hawaii-2010-vol-lll/. As Mitch says on his blog, Ben Player seems to seriously master the pipe like no one else and it shows in this clip once again. Every winter he gets more waves and better waves than anyone (except Mike maybe!) and he surfs super good at pipe with drive, control, deep pits and style.

We just got the news and this picture from Matt ! We never heard about the suits before but this is good news and now that the news is official we’ll ask Matt about his new sponsor and his projects for 2010.
Attica Wetsuits welcomes Matt Lackey as our 1st official rider to sign with the label. Attica is a culmination of 2 ½ years of testing cuts and materials before its release May 2010. Attica’s vision is a dark edge combined with bold logos, solid colours, epic cuts and durable quality materials. This is what will set us apart and add strength to our product.
More information will be released shortly.
In the meantime, keep your eyes on www.atticawetsuits.com
