Sam Strachan wins the TURBO V competition and a spot on the TURBO Intl’ Team
Sam Strachan (Australia) – Excerpt from the TURBO website: “It is hard to believe Sam Strachan is only 16 years of age. There has been plenty of talk coming out Cronulla (one of bodyboarding’s toughest proving grounds) about Sam Strachan for what seems like years, and at the age of 15 Sam already had a Hawaiian season under his belt. More recently Sam beat a field of the best aspiring stars in the sport to win his place in the Shark Island Challenge. Sam has a level head on his shoulders and the talent to do anything in the sport. Turbo Surf Designs is proud to announce Sam as the 5th member of the Turbo 5 Professional team. He will be working closely with Turbo Development Manager, Andrew Lester and travelling with the Turbo professional team to take his career to the next level. Congratulations Sam and welcome to the team”.

As we just read on Michael’s blog today, “Michael Novy suffered major back injuries after a heavy beat down at Indies on the NSW Central Coast this morning”. – Michael said “I just got out of hospital, got three fractured vertebrae. No damage to my spinal cord though, just two months outta the water and plenty of physio”.
We hope Michael will get better very quickly and will be back in the water soon.
