Grand Flavour’s new website and retail strategy
Grand Flavour’s new website is online and it looks fresh and cool with their new collection. GF has also decided to only sell online on their website from now on and not sell in bodyboard shops anymore. GF hasn’t really explained why or what motivated this decision but we at Spongercity think it’s actually quite cool in a way, for different reasons. Anyways, the brand and team and collection is cool so whatever they choose to do it’s cool.
We’ve given our opinion about it on the Movement Mag website here in the comments. Leave your opinion or comment on the Movement Mag site or here on this post if you want. We’d be curious to see what you guys think.

Alex Uranga wins the Reunion Island Pro !
Congrats Alex ! From the IBA Site: “Alex Uranga from the Basque Country in northern Spain is the winner of the 2011 Nissan Reunion Bodyboard Pro at Les Archers in Saint-Pierre, Reunion. Uranga, 22, who won the trials into the main event, took his winning streak all the way to the final, defeating Jake Stone from Dunsborough in Western Australia, with minutes to go, in glassy four to six foot waves.
The Basque was carried on the shoulders of his brother and a friend from the water’s edge to the presentation area while the crowd whistled and cheered for him. He dedicated his win to all the people who believed in him back in the Basque Country. “It’s incredible”, said Alex Uranga, “I can’t put these feelings into words”.
Jake Stone, 22, beat reigning world champion and local, Amaury Lavernhe in the quarterfinal and Frenchman Pierre-Louis Costes in the semifinal. Stone, was coming first until 2 minutes before the final siren when Uranga caught his winning wave, a big back flip scoring him a 7.6 out of a possible ten. “It was a sick final unfortunately I got nipped at the end there. He [Uranga] took it apart, so I’m stoked for him”, said Stone. This is Stone’s best result on the IBA GSS world tour.
