“ The waiting period has been trimmed down to just 20 days” said IBA International General Manager Terry McKenna.
“ This is less than half the time that the event has had in the past but we are confident that this time of the year will serve up some of the epic conditions that are required for what is considered to be the best competition on the planet”. Read the rest »
Mike Stewart Science is proud to announce the release of the MS 1 LTD and the Thomas Robinson LTD.
Both of these boards feature a world first for the industry: The Compression Cell. The Compression Cells are soft impact absorbing cells held in a structural Polypropylene core matrix. The compression cells are placed under the elbows and in strategic areas of the board prone to impact.
The decks of all LTD boards feature a semi-transparent deck that reveals the Compression Cells configuration. The additional function of the cells is to provide greater traction on the deck without the necessity of wax. The slightly raised convex cells provide a subtle yet effective grip on the body.
Science Brand manager Chris Apps said “ We are extremely excited about the release of this innovation as it is a another first for the industry, and will give riders that extra cushion that is nice to have when landing big air moves”. Read the rest »

Nomad Bodyboards is proud to announce the introduction of the new ‘Engineered Flex Core™’ to its 2008/2009 range.
In the past Bodyboard manufacturers have been forced to source existing materials manufactured by other industries for purposes other than bodyboard cores. This has forced the industry to be a slave to material manufacturers making materials of varying quality not purposely made for the quality of product they want produced. This is about to change.
Nomad is one of a few companies on the leading edge of a new core composition technology that will open the door to new world of ‘ENGINEERED FLEX’ conditions and purpose built Bodyboard materials.
