helm, eager to raise the bell over their heads and squander what could be another Kelly Slater record. From Michael Peterson’s hat trick, to Mark Occhilupo winning it after 12 years off the podium, or when the 19-year-old wildcard Mick Fanning went through the 22-year-old Andy Irons to ring the bell, this particular competition has seen enough memorable moments to retire at 50. But we all know that won’t happen. “Anyone who has ever gotten a Bell has talked proudly of it,” Slater said. “The bell is literally like having a World Title trophy.”For the women, 4-time ASP World Champion

The Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach is set to take place April 19-30 in what will be the celebration of an historic 50-year anniversary.The longest-running world tour surfing event has handed the iconic Bell trophy to legends such as Michael Peterson (‘73-’75) and Mark Richards (’78-’80, ’82). This year, 10-time ASP world and defending Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach champion aims to pass Mark Richards for the all-time most Bells with five. However, ringing in the Bell won’t be easy for Kelly with past Bell winners Taj Burrow, Joel Parkinson and Mick Fanning on the

Stephanie Gilmore looks to ring the Bell for the fourth time in four years, securing her legacy at the historic event.Brodie Carr, ASP International CEO, knows how monumental the 50 year anniversary is. “The aura surrounding the venue borders on the spiritual and the event never fails to deliver memorable experiences,” Carr said.Take for example Patrick Swayze’s character in the movie Point Break (Bodhi) who is obsessed with the 50 years storm at Bells Beach that “lets us know just how small we really are.” Although he was referring to the size of the swell, all you

need to do is insert the word “event” after surf and he’s dead on with his prediction. “When it hits Bells Beach it’ll turn into the biggest surf *(event) this planet has ever seen.” Yes, I just attempted to persuade the readers to watch this event by quoting Patrick Swayze.The Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach presented by Ford will take place at Bells Beach in Victoria, Australia from April 19 – 30, 2011 and be webcast Live via live.ripcurl.com.

The 9.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Japan on March 11, 2011, triggering a deadly tsunami, has left a massive path of devastation and has put Japan in a complete state of emergency. The death toll may reach 10,000 and thousands remain missing. It is estimated that roughly 100,000 children have been displaced and are at extreme risk. Eiji Suzuki of Boardworks Japan stated, “As days have gone by after Earthquake and Tsunami, we are beginning to see how bad the situation is. Basically a quarter of Japan has collapsed and is effecting the other three quarters.”

As we watch the tragic results of this catastrophic earthquake and tsunami in Japan we feel compelled to help. Many of us who live in the global coastal community, either in residences or businesses, can see just how devastating an event like this can be. As surfers we are acutely aware that we live on a small planet and are all connected by the water and the waves that we ride. A tragedy on one side of the world is a tragedy for all and we must do what we can. We have tried to come up with a plan in which Boardworks will give, and that will also enable others to help as well.

Boardworks has announced a plan to raise $10,000 for the Save the Children Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief effort. Mike Fox from Boardworks states, “We will donate a portion of the sale of our next 500 boards ($20 per board) to The Save the Children to help them in their role providing disaster relief in Japan. We are happy to announce that many of our shapers, manufacturers and distributors will join us in our effort.” You can help too. We have also created a donation page on our website that will send funds directly to Save the Children for their effort in the Japan disaster response and will tally up the donations in real time. We have started with the initial donation of $2500. To donate through the site go to: http://boardworkssup.com/news/you-can-help-the-relief-effort-in-japan

We realize that our effort pales in comparison to the scope of the disaster. But the international surf community is small and committed. By working

through save the children we can all know that we are supporting an agency that really does make a difference and is dedicated to the same set of principles that we all embrace. Please do you part: you can help!”About Save the ChildrenSave the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world. Recognized for their commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, Save The Children’s work takes them into the heart of communities, where they help children and families help themselves. Save the Children works with other organizations, governments, non-profits and a variety of local partners while maintaining their own

independence without political agenda or religious orientation.

When disaster strikes around the world, Save the Children is there

to save lives with food, medical care and education and remains to help communities rebuild through long-term recovery programs. As quickly and as effectively as Save the Children responds to tsunamis and civil conflict, it works to resolve the ongoing

struggles children face every day -- poverty, hunger, illiteracy

and disease -- and replaces them with hope for the future. For more

About Boardworks:At Boardworks we are passionate about all things to do with the ocean and water lifestyle we all embrace. Our goal is to share that passion, to promote respect for the planet, its creatures and each other and to make surfing and stand up paddle more fun for more people. Boardworks represents some of the best shapers in the world and bring their premier surf and SUP models to the global water community manufactured with our proprietary construction technologies.

Santa Cruz’s Zoltan Torkos was awarded $10,000 in prize money from

Volcom for their challenge to see who could land surfing’s first kick-flip. If you haven’t

seen it, see it.

The company originally held out with the prize money because Zoltan wasn’t completely

above the lip, but in the end they decided that his “groundbreaking maneuver,” was

worth the $10,000. According to an interview on SURFBANG, Zoltan is dubbing the

trick a “Reimer Flip” in honor of his friend Carl Reimer who died after telling Zoltan

that if anyone could pull off the trick, it was him.

Since then, Volcom has

redefined the rules and doubled the prize money ($20,000) for anyone who can pull an “above and off the lip” kick-flip.

After hearing that a dude named Zoltan Torkos pulled off this revolutionary trick, I Immediately thought Earth was being invaded by aliens. Turns out, Zoltan provided an even cooler explanation of his name to SURFBANG. “My Dad is Hungarian and my Mom is a Magician. And I like Japanese fighting robots, so it seems natural.” Touché my man, you had me at Zoltan.

You guys have dealt with many different sports that require the use of wet suits such as Kite Boarding. What are the differences in designing a wetsuit for surfing vs kite boarding?

Usually, it comes down to exterior materials. Kite specific suits are primarily focused on blocking wind chill. We typically use different exterior fabrics on most areas of the kite specific wetsuits. Also, most kite wetsuits incorporate ankle straps (to stop water from blowing up your legs) and drain holes (to combat balloon legs where the water collects above the strap).

Surf suits are usually more focused on flexibility. If a surfer is not hindered by a stiff wetsuit, they can surf harder for longer and this generates heat, as surfing tends to be more aerobic than kiteboarding. Once you get tired, you tend to rest more and then you become cold. So for surfing, you can usually stay warmer in a stretchy Nylon suit and wind chill is less of a factor.

For the average consumer buying a we it.... Whats the best advice you can give in choosing whats most practical?

Sizing is everything. Go to a surf shop and try on a bunch of suits. A shop can help you choose your new suit based on budget, features and sizing.

Have you seen a demand for smaller wet suit sizes in the last couple of years...

Definitely. As wetsuit technology has improved, so has cold water participation by younger groms. Kids as young as 10-12 are surfing through northeast winters now.

How has advanced technology impacted the wet suit world. Material, Design, Functionality...

Materials every year get lighter, stretchier and warmer. It blows me away how insanely stretchy some of the new materials are. These ultra stretch materials combined with waterproof mini- zips and thermal interior fabrics have made it possible to anyone to surf comfortably even in the coldest water.

Is it socially acceptable to piss in your wet suit.............haha

Of course! Just make sure to rinse it with fresh water after each use, unless you are loaning it to a friend.

Henderson Aquatics has been ar ound since 1965. Give us a brief rundown of the progression of wetsuits throughout the years?

Henderson Aquatics was started in the Henderson Marina and Boatyard. Customers needing a wetsuit would come in and lay down on a neoprene sheet. The person’s outline was chalked up front and back, and both sides were cut out and glued and sewn together. These were fully custom wetsuits (though they were probably a little boxy, haha) and were the first wetsuits made here on the East Coast. There was such a demand for wetsuits on the East Coast, due to the cold water and harsh conditions, that wetsuit production began full time shortly thereafter.

Since then, things have come a long way, from beaver tails to today’s superstrech rubber and nylon. Technology is so advanced on wetsuits now that there’s is no comparison to the wetsuits made even 5 years ago. I have actually had guys call me in New England after surfing in our 6/ 5/4 AMP hooded wetsuit and they claim it has the comfort and stretch of a 3/2mm wetsuit. They are so stoked at how flexible and

warm our wetsuits have become (believe me, it is crucial that suits are warm when you are surfing in the snow and ice).

What are the benefits of being based on the East Coast? Does this give you an advantage over your West Coast competitors? If so, explain.

Yes, we definitely have an advantage with our warehouse being based in New Jersey. We can ship most of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic orders in 2 days via ground; Florida is only 3 days. We get a lot of peak season fill-in business, especially when a good swell is predicted for a weekend. Shops need to get product fast and we have it stocked deep in our New Jersey warehouse, so it makes it very easy for them to deal with us. I have shops call on Thursday and have product on Friday for the weekend via ground shipping. This is huge, especially for the smaller retailers who may not carry a large amount of inventory.

Though the economy may be sluggish, your sales remain up! What do you contribute this to? How is Hyperflex tackling the tough times?

It is really quite simple; we offer an amazing product at a very reasonable price. Even ourpremium AMP Series is priced well below the market average for high end wetsuits. I think consumers are starting to realize that if they compare “apples to apples,” Hyperflex is one of the best values in the industry. In this economy, everyone is watching the bottom line. Smart consumers know they are getting a great deal when they buy a Hyperflex product. Furthermore, I think first-time Hyperflex consumers are super stoked when they get in the water and realize our suits perform as well as any wetsuits on the market, but they saved a few bucks. We have built a loyal base of Hyperflex fans this way.

Q&A with the NJ based wetsuit pioneers featuring Scott Troxel

Page 29: Moondoggie April 2011

Hyperflex Wetsuits was launched in 2002 by Henderson Aquatics, the largest scuba diving wetsuit manufacturer in the world. Tell us how Hyperflex came to be and why Henderson felt there was a need to infiltrate the surf market.For more than four decades Henderson has supplied wetsuits and gear not only to divers, but to surfers as well, so it was a natural progression to move into the surf wetsuit market. With over 40 years of wetsuit experience, we felt the time was right to expand into the surf market again, given our wetsuit expertise. This is not a unique situation, if you look at the beginnings of some of the other U.S. wetsuit companies, their roots started in the dive wetsuit market which is older than the surf wetsuit market. Henderson initially entered the surf market in the early ‘90s with Surf East Wetsuits, and then closed Surf East after a few prosperous years to focus on its growing dive business.

Do you find that East Coast consumers are more open to different wetsuit brands/labels, as compared to West Coast consumers who are heavily influenced by the latest trends?Surprisingly, during our first few years, we sold more suits per region in Southern California then in any region on the East Coast. I think this was due to the year round coastal population in SoCal and the sheer number of competing surf shops looking for brands. East Coast surfers, especially in the colder water areas,

can be very skeptical of new gear. They know cold water wetsuits need to work period. For example, they know they will be using their 5/4/3 hooded suit in 35 degree water and it may even be snowing. They don’t really care about the name on the suit as much as they care if they will be warm enough for a 2 hour session in January (read: Hypothermia). They are open to new ideas, brands and products, but first and foremost, they need to work and be proven in the water. As our reputation grew for producing quality cold water suits (Thanks to our AMP 5/4/3 hooded suit), more and more East Coast surfers were willing to try Hyperflex. Once we got consumers to try Hyperflex, our momentum began to snowball.

When you’re looking to bring new talent, what advice can you give candidates to help them along the way?The candidates we are looking for are persistent and intelligent. We are a small company and everyone here does multiple jobs. We look for people that will be able to contribute to the success of the company without a ton of supervision. It sounds cliché, but someone who can “think on their feet.” If you are confident, intelligent and persistent, you will definitely get a shot with us here at Hyperflex.For those applying to jobs on Malakye, you should know what specific job you are applying for before you send your resume. Too many times I see resumes that are too general or for the wrong position. Sometimes people just throw resumes and generic cover letters out that are much too general. Take your time, read the qualifications for the position, then write a good focused cover letter. Make yourself stand out from the rest.
