Papua New Guinea ASL Magazine Photo Shoot!!!
October 30, 2009 by Angie Koops (Surfer)
Hey everyone, so here is an update of what’s happening in Angie’s little world. Any day now we are flying off to PNG for an Australian Surfing Life magazine photo shoot. Shelidsy the ASL photographer is checking the surf conditions everyday and looking at the swell forecast, as soon as we know there is going to be great waves we jump on the plane and head off to catch it.
Dru my boyfriend is doing this amazing campaign for Pacific Blue Airways that was the original reason for going over there in the first place but now it has extended into a magazine shoot. Its great because there is only going to be a couple of guys heading over and myself so there is every chance I am going to get into the ASL mag. I will keep you updated as soon as I know when we go!!!
Hellos internet! so I’m sitting in LAX at 5 in the morning waiting for a connecting flight to Mexico for some crazy contest there that my friend has jacked up! ahahahahaha! argh! Here’s some pics for ya from my journey so far, its been pretty fun!
Here’s a couple of pics of my buddy Glenn holding some shoes that are some super limited Nike friggin bmx 2008 Beijing shoes, and a pair of Bob Haro shoes as well! (he invented freestyle bmx!). There’s only like 4 pairs in existance! Ahahaha and a pair of ET (the movie!) Nikes with an embroided basket on the heel and its colorway is the same colorway as the Kuwahara that Elliot rode in the movie!!! I know, crazy Nike’s all over the place!!! Guess thats what you get if you made the Nike bmx dvd!
Hey guys, Labour weekend always brings fun exciting missions. Last weekend was the International Day of Climate Action, and I’m sure some of you will have taken part in an event somewhere near you. In ChCh I held a 350 paddle out which turned out really well considering it was left until the last minute. We had 15 peeps rock up from the age of about 12- 50! The surf was gentle and fun..for those of you who want to learn more about 350…here is all you need to know www.350.org
p.s I’m having trouble uploading pics 
sorry! Daisy

October 29, 2009 by Mountain Dew NZ
Kiwi beer brand Export Gold has today (Thursday 29th October 2009) announced its sponsorship of Surfing New Zealand Inc after signing a two year contract with the national sporting organisation.
The news comes at a perfect time for Surfing New Zealand as the organisation prepares for the biggest schedule of summer events and activities in the organisation’s history.
Export Gold will partner with Surfing New Zealand and will be the naming rights sponsor for the Export Gold Series – a five-event series that sees the top surfers in New Zealand visit the best surf locations in the country.
The Export Gold Series will see events held at Gisborne, Whangamata, Raglan and Piha, boasting a total prize purse in excess of $40,000. The Export Gold Series culminates in the prestigious Export Gold Super 16 which will be contested by 16 of New Zealand’s elite surfers. To qualify for the event, surfers must gain enough ratings points from the first four events to secure their invitation.
This week I have been setting up and running four shows with Smashproof! So far we have been into Tawa College Wednesday lunchtime and Aotea College Wednesday night, Wgtn East Girls College Thursday lunchtime and Newlands Community Centre Thursday night.
Today there is still two more shows but instead I am off to the NZ Longboard Championships….the only slight problem with that is it is well past Auckland!! So its now just after 6am and Im about to get in the van and drive!! I will post more photos and info about the Smashproof tour and comp Monday! Have a sweet weekend crew!
