2010 will again host two DKS events here in Australia. The first event will be at Tiona Park in the Forster region on the 31st July / 1st August 2010 and the big one where it all started, Port Macquarie will follow the next weekend on the 7th / 8th August. Simon and the crew at Sundowner will again be hosting accommodation with ridiculous prices at these two prime locations so book early to avoid disappointment. My pick for Tiona park is the “Beach House”!

The 2010 dates for DKS are as follows,

DKS TIONA 31st July/1st August 2010
DKS PORT MAC 7th/8th August 2010

This year DKS is excited to have the involvement of Manny Vargas! Manny is a very experienced global DK rider and has vast experience in the industry, now hosting a bunch of “FreakFest” travel trips along with his Indo Experience camps. Manny is also the man behind the innovative internet show called “Bodyboarding Live”.

Jones is well known for his positive attitude & technical skills but it’s his big wave riding, featured in “The Joker 2”, which caught everyones attention most recently. His dedication to pushing the limits of his surfing is now well respected.

His plans for 2010 include following the Australian tour as well as competing in some world tour events, starting with the Pipeline Pro. We wish him all the best & are behind him 110%.

Having Jones on the team further strengthens the development of the FLIPMODE brand both locally & internationally. This is another great milestone for us & we look forward to having Jones’ input in the label.
