Vans Off the Wall

Vans have had an incredible year this year! Vans shoes are everywhere on everyones feet this last 12months whether they are being worn by a skater, a rapper, a surfer, young or old they have been incorporated into many different styles of dress! Vans first opened a store in 1966 in California and have always given the west coast skater there main target image and have grown over the years into a huge shoe and clothing brand also now sponsoring large numbers of events. I believe that vans are going to continue to dominate the shoe market over the next few years heading into their 50th anniversary.

The Image below sums up the small story that sold the Original vans.

Billabong Pro, Rio, Brazil: Winners

Congratulations to Adriano de Souza for taking the Title in his home country Brazil in the tough 2-3 foot conditions. He faced tough competition taking the title over Australian Taj Burrow in the Final. This now puts de Souza at the top of the title race followed my Joel Parkinson in second and Kelly Slater in third place. Here's some highlights from the final day at Barra Da Tijuca. We look forward to the next event in J-Bay, South Africa in July. All is still to play in the men's race for the world title with another 8 events to come.



Also congratulations to Carissa Moore for taking the womens title. This is her fith final this season and her 3rd win along with two in Australia. The Hawaiian is looking a very strong favourite on the tour this year for the world title with just two events left to go. Check out the video below of Carissa's time in Rio. We wish her luck for the world title!

Futures

Future Fins have welcomed Jordy Smith into the family! Many surfers are set on moulded or fixed fins as there is no worry of them coming out or moving and provide more solid endurance. Jordy seems very happy with his new move, have a look at what he has to say below.
