Laura Enever, Tyler Wright, and the girls roll up and send the boys packing in the short film LunchBreak by Fran Derham, according to a story in the Tweed Daily News.
“First Love gave us the idea to make a more drama-based film. It’s a four-minute short film, normally in surfing films you don’t get many story lines. It’s just music video after music video.” . . Ms Derham said the film will hopefully appeal to a mainstream audience and not just to the surfing elite.
Has a bit of an outsider feel, but definitely worth checking out.

It was a crazy day of skating (and some debatable judging calls), but Andrew “The Boss” Reynolds soldiered through to the final, marching right over a ripping Jack Curtin, Manny Santiago, and finally Ronnie Creager to charge home with $160,000 in cash.
After the contest Reynolds sounded relieved. “I’m psyched,” he said. “I just tried my best and everybody has supported me. My friends were here, my mom was here. It was a good time.”
When he was asked what he plans on doing with his money, he showed he’s always the businessman. “I really don’t know. Maybe put it somewhere. Start skateboard companies, do stuff to my house, buy toys for my daughter.”

In April 2011 Western Australia’s West Surfing Product announced they were looking for buyer and now, it appears they have found one in the Silverthorne family, owners of the Perth swimwear label Kooey Australia. Some American’s (not likely readers of Boardistan) may know the company as the official swimwear provider for the Miss Teen USA pageant.
“This acquisition represents a significant step for both Kooey and West in our strategy designed to accelerate growth in both businesses,” said Nikki Silverthorne, Director and Designer of Kooey. “We are now focused on seizing the opportunities in both local and international markets that this transaction has created for us. We are looking forward to delivering on the promise of this acquisition to build both brands exponentially and with speed.”
Kind of cool that the brand will remain a Western Australian company. Follow the jump for all the details. [click to continue…]

A 21-year-old bodyboarder was killed by what was believed to be a white pointer shark today (Sunday, September 4, 2011) while riding waves with a friend in The Boneyards near Bunker Bay in Naturaliste, Western Australia, according to a story in WA Today.
Sergeant Anderson described those who pulled the victim from the water as courageous. “You’ve got to take your hat off to the young fellow who was surfing with him and his mate for bringing [the victim] ashore, the nature of his injuries was significant, it’s not something that even volunteer rescuers or emergency services like to see,” he said.
According to witnesses quoted in the story the bodyboarder was bitten in half at the waist. “”They were saying they were just two metres away from him. “From the waist down, it was just all gone.” Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends.

Daniel True, 19, went out for a surf Friday (September 2, 2011) at Florida’s Shark Bite Bay Ponce de Leon Inlet and was in four feet of water when felt something hit his let.
Officials say True made it back to shore and received medical attention. He then drove himself to the hospital where he got 34 stitches.
Hurricanes really seem to bring out the sharks. . . or is it the surfers?
