FLIPMODE is pleased to announce the signing of Port Macquarie local & 2009 Soldiers Beach Pro winner, Jones Russell.

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.

Empire Bodyboards and Ally Fins are pleased to announce the latest edition to the team with the signing of Port Macquarie (NSW) rising star Chase O’Leary.

Bodyboard Shaper and Australian distributor of Empire and Ally, Glenn Taylor (from Turbo Surf) had the following to say of the recent signing:

“Chase has been on the bodyboard scene for a long time considering his age and is the leading the next generation of amazing bodyboarding talent to come out of Port Macquarie. Chase is the captain of the successful Port Macquarie Bodyboard Club (PMBA) and is on his way to Hawaii this week to compete in the Turbo Bodyboards Pipeline Pro event. It is great to see such a passionate and talented bodyboarder taking it to the next level”

To kick start 2010, Pride has collected the highly lucrative signature of WA super Grom Lewy Finnegan. He joins one of the hottest young teams in the sport including Cade Sharp, Sam Bennett, Mitch Woodland, Ben Veitch, Nick Perry, Shaun Pyne and Jimmy Williamson. Before departing on another surf trip (try getting hold of him – its a nightmare), we caught up with him on the new signing and surfing:

Welcome to the team Lewy. Your signature was pretty hot property over the last few months so why pride?
Thanks mate. I chose Pride because I’ve seen plenty of the boards in EBB as I work there, and I reckon they seem like they’re the best boards. They all have really narrow templates, which I like. Also, the rest of the Pride team motivates me to push myself in bodyboarding because they are some of the best riders in the world.

It’s been a few months since our last wallpaper so we thought it was about time to to break the drought. Chad Jackson stars in this the latest in a number of installments. Photograph kindly supplied by Alex Turoy, here’s what he had to say about Mitchell’s Wedge.

“Mitchells is one of those places that only turns on every few years, it takes the right combination of sand movements and wind patterns for the banks to get right and when they do its all on for young and old, word spreads quick and by the second day everyone knows and is all over it”
