Plenty of things going on the Kiwi land these days. A brand new magazine with a brand new DVD has been launched; a Rip Curl Grom Search will be held this week end and the National Team Member Paige Hareb was called to represent the country in the X Games becoming the first New Zealand surfer ever to compete in the event.

NZ Surfing Magazine Out Now
The first issue of NZ Surfing Magazine under the new management of Kemalu Publishing and it's a fricken boomer with sick shots that will definitely get you amped to go surfing even in this cold weather. The cover price includes the much awaited 'Long Rd' DVD - full of all time surfing from New Zealand's own.

If that's not enough to wet your whistle we've included a free Jack Link's Steak Bar...again not a teaser-a full sized bar.  They taste good too!

Long Road DVD

The DVD features all of New Zealand's best surfers with specific segments on Mazz Quinn, Matt Scorringe, Mike Banks, Leon Santorik, AJ Matthews and Luke Cederman who nabbed the closing part.  Long Road showcases some great surf from around the country with insane pits at Raglan as well as segments on the East Coast and a few of the boys playing silly buggers.  If you want to check it out get down to your local book store or servo and buy NZ Surfing Magazine.  You can also go to http://www.myspace.com/longrdnz to check out the trailer and other information about the film. 

Paige Hareb X Games

Paige Hareb (Tara) has been all over the media recently with her trip to the X Games as part of the world team.  What many didn’t realise was that New Zealand provided two surfers for the event with Jay Quinn (Gis) also competing for the world team.  The event was held at Puerto Escondido in Mexico – commonly referred to as Mexican Pipe. 

Unfortunately both world teams lost to the USA but the surf was epic and the word is that Jay Quinn surfed brilliantly for the world team.  You can check out the full event broadcast on http://expn.go.com/expn/index where you will also find highlights including Jay Quinn’s insane stand up barrel that earned him a near perfect 9.5 point ride. You can also read Paige Hareb’s blog at http://www.stuff.co.nz/4117476a1823.html where she explains what it was like to be part of the talented world team and the rivalry between their team coaches among other interesting things about the event

Rip Curl Grom Search this week end at Fitzroy

Rip Curl Grom Search second stage will be held this weekend at Taranaki, Fitzroy. The best New Zealand Under 16 boys and girls will be there, looking for a place in the podium.
