Good news here: Jacob Romero signs with FLIPMODE Clothing !
FLIPMODE Clothing is very happy & excited to announce the signing of Jacob Romero. Hailing from Maui zones (as he calls it), Jacob has been turning heads for the last few years & getting a lot of media coverage in Australia & overseas.
Most of us know him as the “CHOUT” guy but with a preference for heavy waves & big boosts, Jacob is leading the charge for the new breed of riders coming from Hawaii. His past performances on the IBA & USBA tour are a testament to his hunger for success.
Jacob was recently described by Pierre-Louis Costes (Riptide #180) as being part of the new generation of innovators of the sport, always trying new moves.
In 2011, Jacob is the perfect addition to the team & will help establish/solidify the brand on the international market. Alongside Jones Russell, Jacob will be competing in the 2011 pipeline pro & follow both the GQS & USBA tours. We wish him the best of luck in his quest to be the next world champ.
