Once again our friend Mitch Coleborn has landed another cover! This kid knows how to get the shot!

The Kustom Air Strike is the worlds richest aerial surfing event, putting up a USD$50, 000 incentive for one crazy air.  It's been won in the past by such innovators as Dion Agius, Julian Wilson and Dusty Payne and It's On Again in 2010. Our buddy Mitch Coleborn had a good shot at it last year with a crazy indo loop & as you can see above isn't holding back this year. The online shootout began at kustomairstrike.com on 01.01.2010 and runs until end of August 2010.  Clips will be posted as they receive them, so jump on and cast your votes. The top rated clips will be judged by a panel of 5 judges, and fifty gees will be rained on the surfer that produces the craziest air.   

With special thanks to our good mate Mitch Coleborn we find ourselves on page 1 of WAVES magazine this month!

Mich has been switching between the A2 Curve (he rides "stock" 5'11 x 18 1/8 x 2 3/16 straight off the rack) & the STEPdown which he has been helping us fine tune & ultimately develop into an even more user friendly small wave destroyer! 

Check the sequence...

Thanks Mitch & thanks WAVES

Stay tuned for some heaving barrels as the Volcom Pipeline Pro is about to erupt!

This contest is sure to be exciting as the contest directors have let 4 out of the 14 day waiting period pass while the waves have ben firing (as far as a regular contest is concerned).

Keep a look out for Mitch Coleborn, Charly Martin, Hank Gaskell & Andy Irons who, depending on wave size, may have Chilli's under their feet.
