We’re a week late on this one as we didn’t get much time to blog about everything we wanted to – and haven’t slept much recently due to intensive hours spent watching the Pipeline Pro super late every night (the Spongercity HQ are in Europe) – but here’s some cool news from TURBO:

Turbo Surf Designs are proud to announce the signing of Canary Island Super Grom – Elliot Morales. At only 19 years of age Elliot has made a big impression at his home breaks in the Canary Islands, namely the infamous El Fronton. Turbo has now backed Elliot and put him straight into The Turbo Global Team. Elliot is currently in Hawaii staying at the Turbo House for the IBA Pipeline Pro and will head out to Australia in the middle of the year to work on some team projects.

Turbo Managing Director, Gregg Taylor, stated “that he was stoked to have Elliot joining the Turbo team and looks forward to working with Elliot and furthering his career in Bodyboarding. The Canary Islands has so much talent among the local riders and it is not easy to stand out from the crowd, though Elliot has been doing that for a number of years now. It will be exciting to see how Elliot develops with his trips to Hawaii and Australia working with the senior members of the Turbo team”

Elliot simply stated “i am so happy of being a member of turbo team!!!”

At this stage Elliot is happy for his surfing to do the talking, check it out: http://www.vimeo.com/19515976
