Everyone loves to see a good shot of their favorite rider boosting or getting deep in the barrel, its what amps us all to hit the water ourselves to do what we love the most. However these shots seem to go un-noticed from time to time. Now personally, I think its time to give credit where credit is due. As of now-on a regular enough basis, the BSC BLOG is going to showcase & profile the photgraphers themselves to see what makes them tick, and to find out why they prefer to shoot than to surf. First on our list if young GC Photgrapher Jye McDonald, whom had provided us with a bucketload of fresh images over the last few months:

A bodyboard is defined by its materials, how it’s constructed and its shape. The actual shape, or template, of a board can be determined by many factors, but when you combine the wave riding knowledge of the sports best riders with the design skills of the industry’s best shapers it can only result in one thing: and that is high performance shapes. The versus project was established for this very purpose, joining elite bodyboarders with worldclass shapers in a one on one collaboration to create the most techincally progressive board shapes.

Joe Clarke is the latest recruit to the VS stables after his freakish talent and swift rise to the top of the game earnt him a spot at Nick Mesritz’s round table. Joe is flying the flag for the new generation of raw, stylish and explosive bodyboarding and his new signature range with VS encompass all that has made this young gun one of the new heroes of the sport.

His new board range is now availble to buy in-store at Coolangatta & Narrabeen as well as online at www.bodyboarders.com.au

Check out the following click to see where Joe & his boards are at right now!!

Attica focuses on comfort, combined with warmth and durability. The guys been testing the suits for the past two and a half years with several-high profile riders and believe that they’ve got it right.
They’ve only recently started to focus on their team as the attention has mainly been on readying the product. First to jump on board with Attica is BSC Team Rider Matt Lackey.whom is super excited to be involved. The guys at Attica say its a great feeling to have a rider of his calibre wanting to be involved in the company.
Attica Wetsuits are available now to purchase online as well as in-store at both Coolangatta & Narrabeen Stores.

Once again BSC Team Rider Kev Gil has been flying under the radar. A man of so many words about others never speaks highly of himself, a definite trait hard to find amongst any rider these days. Instead Kev lets his surfing do the talking as the following photo suggests: Big Kev boosting off a lofty section at uncrowded DBAH?
Thanks to Jye McDonald for the shots!!

BSC Team Rider Adrian Harper has been dripping wet lately, spending more time in the water than out.
Over the last few weeks, Adrian has represented SBC at the Tri-Clubs Challenge, which was held at Mystics as well as at the Port Macquarie Teams Challenge over the June long weekend.
In saying all of this, his comp tactics take no attention away from his freesurfing. Keep an eye on the BLOG for more updates shortly.
Check out the proof below as to how big & hard Adrian’s been surfing!!

BSC Team Rider Jimmy Williamson has been at it hard over the last few months with numerous sessions all over the Australian Coastline. Fresh back from the Port Macquarie Teams Challenge, Jimmy’s performance personally sat with 2 x 1st Place’s & a 3rd….pretty amazing considering the talent that attended the event…not that we’re doubting his skills.
Check out the following shots for example: Jimmy in preparation last week at one of the Gold Coast’s most famous “beachbreak”

Thanks to Nathan Hyack for the photos

The inaugural Port Macquarie will host its 23rd event over this coming long weekend. With teams from all over Australia competing for the title of “Australia’s Most Competitive Club”, the level of talent once again is more than likely to go to a whole new level.
With Port Macquarie in the current champions seat, the push from other clubs such as Gold Coast Bodyboard Club & Sydney Bodyboard Club-will be hot of their heels to take away their glory.
Check out BSC Team Rider Guy Williment getting some practice in prior to representing Sydney Bodyboard Club over the long weekend.
