Storm shooting

The sunshine coast has been lucky enough to be blessed with consistant 4ft+ swell for the past few weeks. The great run of waves has given local photographers plenty of oppourtunities to nail that perfect shot, one of the few leading the pack of local shooters is Ryan "stormboy" Jones. After spending alot of time filming bodyboarding Ryan has emerged as one of the Sunshine Coast's leading bodyboard photographers.
Here's a taste of some local waves seen through the lens of Ryan's 40D.

1st the worst, 2nd the best!!

Team rider Jake Stone has proven himself Mr Consistent after finishing a close 2nd in consecutive Australian Pro tour events recently. Jake was just beaten by an in form Mark Mccarthy from South Africa in the Soldiers Beach Pro at Newcastle on the weekend. After scoring 2 perfect 10's in his semi final Jake couldn't quite back it up in the final. Although he may be feeling a little bummed about coming so close 2 weeks in row Jake now finds himself at the top of the ratings heading into the 3rd round in April, something that will surely bring a smile to his face! Other noteworthy efforts from Bodyboardshop team riders were Cade Sharp (quarter finals) & Michael Novy (semi Finals).

Novy ink

Team rider Michael Novy dropped by the store today & was kind enough to sign a few of his boards. He was on his way to the first leg of the Australian Tour - The Rheopaipo Pro at Duranbah on the gold coast where he will join fellow Eppo's Bodyboardshop team members Cade Sharp, Drew Innocend, Jake Stone & Steven Venn. Mr Novy is hoping to better his 2nd overall rating from last years tour with a solid 2009.
We all know Novy rips but thanks to Jaden Dickey here's a reminder!

Hawaii hellmen

The dust has finally settled after yet another frantic season on Oahu's famed North Shore. Four bodyboardshop team riders were right in the thick of the action. Michael Novy, Jake Stone, Cade Sharp & first timer Drew Innocend all report some pumping waves were had albeit with the usual heavy crowds. The boys collected a few frame grabs and shots from some of the filmers and photographers who slave away on the beach day after day to capture all the madness. So here's Novy, Jake, Cade & Drew between waiting for waves and getting dropped in on.

A massive thanks to The Waldron Bros., James Adams, lachy from WA & Claws & Teeth for the frames/photos!
