Song: Open Rhythms by Bodies of Water

2012 Ether Model

Will — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 06:02:41 +0000

New for 2012, we introduce our quickest and most high performance board to date. Designed with a mellow entry rocker for maximum planing speed that feeds into a very extended tail rocker. With 3/8″ more tail rocker than any of our other models, this board excels in the pocket and is lighting fast rail to rail. Through our extensive R&D on this model we found it works best in 4ft + waves that have some pocket. With a flatter deck and boxier rails you will be able to go 1/8″ to 1/4″ thinner than your normal thickness. This will allow you to be closer to the water and gain more control of your board without losing paddling power. Equipped with a swallow tail, you will get the full amount of rail line in your desired length while it also gives the board that extra bite that takes its performance to the next level. Enjoy!

Jason Bennett: “I’m proud to introduce the newest member in our board family, the Ether. When designing this model I wanted it to not only be a quick board in the pocket but also have an extremely fast response time. I ended up adding 3/8″ more tail curve than any of our other models. By making the tail rocker adjustment, I found this really helped the board work in the pocket the way I envisioned. I also wanted a model that would enable you to get the same paddle power as your standard thickness but perform like a thinner, more sensitive board. I flattened the deck and added a good amount of thickness flow from nose to tail. I was able to go 3/16″ thinner than my normal thickness which gave me the sensation that my feet where closer to the water. With the board being thinner it also gave me more control without losing paddle power. I have been riding this model almost every day this winter and having a blast. I found it works best in waves slightly above waist high and bigger. Overall, it is the most high performance board I have produced.”

Cheyne and BG Snag a 3rd Place at Pipe

Will — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:23:54 +0000

The Da Hui Backdoor Shootout is regarded as one of the major showcases of Pipeline talent every year. It gives the Pipe charger who doesn’t get a chance to compete in the “major” Pipe contests a chance to show the world what they have. To top it off, it’s a team event.
Body Glove put together a solid team of chargers with Jamie O’Brien, Anthony Walsh, Alex Gray, and Cheyne.
They were all lucky enough to get some solid ones and lock down a 3rd place finish overall. Hopefully next year the will keep the team together and take the coveted top spot.

Cheyne’s boards for the event:
7’0 x 18 3/4 x 2 5/8 Glock, quad
7’4 x 19 x 2 3/4 Compression, thruster

RIP Sean Collins

Will — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:37:25 +0000

It’s with a heavy heart that we’re reporting that Sean Collins, the founder of Surfline, passed away from a heart attack on Monday. He was 59.

Arguably one of the most influential surfers of his era, Collins reshaped the way surfers from across the world track swells and storms through Surfline.com, the website he founded in the 1990s. Primarily self-taught, Collins was regarded as one of the most esteemed forecasters in the industry and regularly advised the World Tour on approaching swells and weather conditions.

In its early days, Surfline was a call-in forecasting service, but with Collins’ foresight and business savvy, the company grew into a forecasting and media hub when it became a digital entity. In 2000, Collins sold the company but stayed on as President and Chief Forecaster. In 2008, he was inducted into the Surfer’s Hall of Fame.

“I founded the site [Surfline] because I saw a need, but primarily because I wanted to follow my passions and wanted to control my own future. I believe the real secret of my success was to surround myself with really good people who could help to build our business,” he told the OC Register. “The personal payoff is the lifestyle of continuing to be able to chase great surf around the world while getting paid for it, and I couldn’t do that without my great team of people.”

Collins leaves behind a loving family and an endless list of people proud to call him a friend. Our sincerest condolences go out to his family. We’ll miss you, Sean.
