In surfers News... Leon Santorik has sliced his foot open at Matakana last week getting himself 25 stitches in foot... Ouch! He's going to be a few weeks out of the water.. I bet there is a few guys hoping that he is still out by Nationals time... Not me though bro, mend up quick cuz.

Above: Leon's on the injurly list.
Dooma from Hydro surf has some new teamriders on FCS and Gorilla. Elliot Paerata-Reid Quiksilver king of the grom’s winner....and Adam “Grimo” Grimson.

Above: Elliot is on FCS
And on the Pure organic wax team we have: Nat Parsons, Paco Divers, Ryan
Hawker, Braedon Willams, Johnny Hicks, Adam Grimson, Dan Procter,.
You will of know doubt seen the young Christchurch charge Sam Hawke and Doug Young in the papers and on the news... Sam is Dougy's understudy and quickly making a name for himself on the world big wave stage backing up his 3rd a the under 20 tow contest in South Australia last year with a mad session at Chopes last week... Where he snagged the wave of the day, bunny hoped into and got eaten alive on the inside section... This wave goes down as one of the biggest ever riden at one of the gnarliest spots in the world... Big up to Sam and Doug going hard... I spoke with Quikie Market Manager Leone Humme, who is super stoked on her young Ch Ch teamrider... Bloody suprising that two of NZ’s biggest chargers come from probably the place that gets the lease amount of swell in NZ.
To Update from the Ultimate boarder comp in the states, Kristian Philipp has smashed the best surf/skate/snow boarders in the world once again at the finish second in a super stacked field. As well as Rob Mitchelle finishing a resectable 17th... This is second year in a row that Kristian the underground kiwi has finished second at this event.... Huge result... Would love to see more of this guy.... Check out the link to see what went down http://www.ultimateboarder.com
