STEALTH and STEALTH FINS new recruits

December 8, 2011 at 6:37 pm | Spongercity General, Industry, International News

STEALTH Boards has just announced that they’ve recruited Nick Gornall and Stealth Fins has recruited Ryan Hardy. Nice colors for the new Hardy model: Blue and Yellow. This leaves MOREY with just Dub as a pro rider if we’re correct (since Finlay moved to NMD and Gornall to Stealth Boards) and this leaves Churchill with just Hubb and Amaury Lavernhe pretty much. World champs they are, but small team for Churchill compared to the massive team Stealth Fins has gathered, taking the industry by storm within a just few weeks. In our opinion it’s a weird move though for Stealth to have designed Stealth Boards (made by Mez) when the brand was just fins and accessories. Confusion in the minds of many kids and people in general… how can the same brand sponsor riders for only fins and other for boards and others for both ? Some kids have even asked if now BP and Winny where riding Stealth boards now that Stealth was making boards…

Marketing… Decisions.. Distributors… Competition… Money…

Oh well…

The Stealth Fins website is new and looks good by the way: http://stealthfins.com.au
