Burton Malolo for 09/10. The Malolo will have a new rocker and will probably be even greater than before.
Some pictures of the coming products from Burton. The funny thing is that when it comes to colours Burton seems to have taken some inspiration from other companies. Here you have both Lib tech-yellow and Union-orange.
Burton Cartel for 09/10. Looks a bit too much like the Union bindings if you ask me…
Paradise Waves is a European organizer of surf camps. It´s not one of the biggest companies. But they do seem to be all about being small and trustworthy hence this is a company offering specialist training, services and a better understanding of surf techniques.
Sure you can find cheaper surf camps, but if you go to a camp in order to learn then you really want to have qualified teachers, life savers and world class teaching methods as well as having fun doing it, which is
exactly what Paradise waves offers.
On the other hand – if you´re only looking for a cheap place to stay and a good place to hang out then this
is not the company for you – there´s plenty of that at your next door youth hostel. The company offers cheap prices but for really nice and comfortable accommodation.
Besides surf camps in Costa Rica And Hawaii (not that you can find better surf elsewhere) they arrange camps in Hossegor, France and Figueira da Foz in Portugal.
European surfers live in good proximity to some of the best waves; I must say that Hossegor is the place. It never gets crowded, it´s really convenient since it is in the EU and it´s more or less perfect for the
beginner even during the summer.

Krooked have been making the Zip Zinger for some years. It´s a shorter cruiser board. So it´s not your average lingboard nor a slalom board. It´s a cruiser. Perfect for the skaters who´s lokking for a more mellow ride but still needs to be able to throw off some tricks. The size is: 7.5 X 30.35
You also have the Zip Zagger. With a bigger size it´s even better for city riding. This one might even replace your old longboard deck. The Zip Zagger comes in 8.6 X 32.38
Just in time for the summer! The Zip Zinger wheels from Krooked.
If you ride a cruiser these wheels are a must. And guess what, they will even be great for pool (and vert) riding.
They come in sizes from 55 and up to 65. And with 78a they are soft enough for surfing the streets. Just remember that they might not be so grippy. Slippery when wet?
Signal Snowboards have launched the new site for 09/10. So far the site isn´t yet filled with all the coming news. So you have to wait some more time before you can see all the Signal Outerwear (unless you´ve already got a sneak peak).
Still it´s worth checking out. And yes, we are really stoked about the Omni.
