Attica’s vision is a dark edge combined with bold logos, solid colours, epic cuts and durable quality materials. This is what will set us apart and add strength to our product.

Lackey leaves Billabong

Matt Lackey dropped us the following email today informing us he is parting ways with long term sponsor Billabong.

“As of today I am no longer riding for Billabong.

After representing the label for 7 years an offer was on the table for 2010 however I have decided to walk away from my relationship with the surfing giant.

Instead I will head in a new direction. This direction is with a new bodyboarding wetsuit label, and this decision will allow me to ride for a company with an artistic and creative vision with a high quality product that I believe will become a benchmark in the industry.

An official announcement on this label will be made in weeks to come.

Lackey.”
