4Play Happenings by Reon “Fish” Fisher

I’ve been pretty busy of late shaping boards and working with our team riders on their new signature models. The range is finally finished and looking incredible…. So I thought I’d take some time out to fill everyone in on some of the weird and wonderful happenings of 4Play over the past few weeks.

First up we have once again collaborated with the Waldron bros for the release of the 4Play Dallas Singer Boom Podcast. Follow the link http://www.vimeo.com/4256235 to check it out, or go to www.waldronbros.com to scope the action from Chad and Kane Waldrons website. The Podcast documents Dallas’s Hawaiian 09’ season starting from my shaping bay in Cronulla and then onto all the North Shore Hawaii action.

Damian King has been busy on his next jet ski adventure thru some of Australia’s Southern Coastlines. Keep your eyes peeled for some more big pits from the Kingy.. Also make sure you check out Kings daily blog on http://portmacquarie.iprime.com.au/index.php/timeout/damian-king,1031 there is a classic story up there at the moment of one of his more radical jet ski sessions.

The big news I’ve been hanging to announce is our new signing of Thomas Robinson. We are stoked to welcome the Corpse to the team and he has definitely been out there working since coming on. In the last two weeks the lad has done two trips into the South Oz desert and one to the Notorious Shipstern Bluff in Tasmania. Next trip will see Thomas and Dallas team up for a Riptide trip that should see some damn hi-fi tech Bodyboarding go down! Check out the attachment to see Thoms new board models in HPS (Tri-Core), Tech (Polyethelene) & PP (Polypropelene). Make sure you read the Thomas interview regarding the signing in the newest Riptide E-Newsletter. If you aren’t already on the mailing list go to http://riptidemag.com.au/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=91 and sign up.

This season also sees the release of our new Tri-Core. Tri-Core is the next stage in evolution of CCT (Composite Core Technology). Tri-Core is a three layered core with Dow on the top and bottom for the added flex and cushioning while the middle layer is high density foam similar to that of Polypro for rigidity. It’s truly a revolutionary core that I have been testing with the riders for the last six months with nothing but good feedback. I can’t wait for the public to be able to ride this core as it will seriously blow minds.

Besides all that we have our new deck logo for the season to spice things up and give the boards a nice clean professional look…

That’s about it from the 4Play Hq… Surf hard and remember 4Play always comes first…

Fish.

SCIENCE BODYBOARDS SIGNS YOUNG GUN ALEX HALSEY

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – Science Bodyboards today announced the signing of one of the countries hottest young prospects in 17-year-old Alex Halsey. Alex joins what is arguably one of the strongest youth teams in the world of bodyboarding.

“We have been watching Alex for some time now and we have been very impressed with his ability in the water and also his professionalism out of the water. So when the opportunity came to get him on board the Science Team we jumped at the chance” Said Science brand manager Chris Apps.

Alex who hails from Western Australia has already been gaining plenty of magazine and video coverage being one of the lucky 5 riders that were selected to be part of Movements Future trading Grom Trip and also landing a part in the Claws and Teeth film Pastiche, which premieres around Australia throughout May

“I’m stoked to be riding for science, they have such a great team and a lot of them are good mates of mine so this will definitely help push my surfing, and it is amazing to have mike as a mentor as well it can only be positive for my surfing”. Alex Said

Hey girls!
Just a reminder, we’ve got a WBA event on at Whaley Beach this saturday 25th April, on Sydney’s Northern Beaches….

Games Co-Ordinator, Zoe Edwards, has just announced the dress theme for this Comp, it is “tight and bright”. Which means you need to wear your tightest and brightest fluoro 80’s style clothing, and if you can find a bright wetsuit to wear as well, even better!

The comp is to be held at Whale Beach (just south of Palm Beach) this saturday, 25th April (ANZAC day).

Meeting at 7.30am -the contest will be set up around the middle to southern end of the beach, depending on the conditions.

Everyone is welcome to come along and compete, or even just come down and hang out.
BSC are bringing down all the equipment, including PA system (for music!), and a BBQ. Woo! The forecast for saturday is for a nice day, with a solid swell and offshore winds! Awesome!

A, AA, AAA divisions, and DK expression session and more games planned.
We’ve also got prizes from Milkshakes bodyboards, Hive Swimwear, and BSC, up for grabs.

If anyone needs a lift, or more information, send us an email, or contact Karleah on 0408901519.
Stay tuned for more news on the WBA’s offical website www.womensbodyboarding.com
And thanks to BSC, Milkshakes, and Hive for their support with this event.

Looking forward to catching up with you girls on the weekend!

Comp 3 Report.

The start of the comp was greeted with a clean 3 foot clean south swell, however as the day progressed so did the swell along with a treacherous rip that gave many a workout trying to make their way back to the beach.

Standouts included Tom Rigby with the only 10’s across the judges sheets for the day and Jimmy Williamson with a amazing tube ride.

Unfortunately we had to end the comp early as the surf just became far too dangerous and challenging for all competitors.

To finish comp 3 we will start at 6am sharp at the next event (Sunday 10 May) with cadet’s semi 2.

All the following competitors MUST be at DBah at 5.50am for briefing. BELOW is NOT the order of the finals so make sure you are there or you may miss it.
