Sticky Bumps is pretty much the best wax we’ve used and all dropkneers will agree, pretty much nothing sticks better on a boogieboard. Until now unless your were waxing on a black board you wouldnt really see your wax once it was on the board… but here comes the latest Sticky Bumps wax: the Day-Glo organic wax (soy-based) !
Some will say it’s horrible and stupid, some will love it… whatever you think that shit’s fun, specially if your friends leave their board alone and you’ve got a fluorescent-yellow bar of wax in your hand ! A whole deck ruined with an ugly beeeep drawing ? Yeah !
Yes, probably since he’s got an NMD board under his arm as we speak in his Pipeline Turbo Pro heat today. Sponsor change from LMNOP to NMD… We’ll wait for the press release to confirm but it definitely looks like Novy got himself a new sponsor here !
Aussie ripper Max Arent now rides for Euro label Sen No Sen Wetsuits. This probably means the brand is expanding its territory to Oz very soon. French rider Mat Desaphie has been developping Sen No Sen Clothing for quite a while now (1999) and is also the man behind MILK Bodyboards for your info. SNS Wetsuits are coming for 2009 with sick colors and cuts. FYI Max still rides for Plastic People Clothing. Only SNS suits.

Some people might have noticed some new stickers on Ryan’s boards recently ? Well.. Ryan just signed with UNITE Clothing Company. The news has just been released on thr UNITE website. This is fuckin good news for both Ryan, UNITE and the bodyboard industry in general. Ryan had been dropped by Billabong a couple month ago and was looking for new sponsors, now UNITE has one of the sickest team in the industry and it shows that bodyboarding companies can actually make it, afford to sponsor hi-profiled riders, and strenghtening their brand and the industry in general in the process.
