Team Infinity has been out and about racing and competing the last couple months.
Here is an update of results from Sept/Oct 2009
Tahitian Patrice Chanzy finished 1st Place in the Tahiti Down Wind stock race. The race was full of some crazy winds and open ocean swells. When it was all said and done, Patrice finished ahead of the pack on his 12'6" Steve Boehne hand shaped Ocean Racer.
Patrice also took 1st Place honors at the Annual Taapuna Masters SUP surf competiton. The contest was held in contestable head high Taapuna. Patrice rode his 9' Carver model which helped him drop in with on the hallow lefts and lay down some nice turns in the windy conditions.
The Battle of the Paddle race came to town last month and was a HUGE success. Thousands of paddle enthusiasts came from far and near to check out the action, compete, and enjoy the 2nd annual festivities! Infinity was there in full force showing off the latest SUP designs at our booth and having fun competing and hanging out with all of our friends. Also, Steve has been credited for shaping/designing the worlds first "tandem" SUP raceboard. Steve and Barrie broke new ground as the first tandem SUP race team ever to compete in a race.

Many of you have been asking about the new "Bandit" fish model designed by the Boehne Bros. This surfboard has been a bit of a mystery. Until now we have not had any photos or evidence to show you of it's existance. This is a good and bad thing. GOOD because we cannot keep this board in stock! Everytime we get them on the rack they have been flying off the shelves even before we can snag a photo! BAD because many people have been inquiring and we have nothing to show :( ..... until NOW!
Without further adue, i present the BANDIT!
the rounded nose assassin! wider nose and narrow tail make this board equally fun in small mushy surf as well as punchy beack break!
tight swallow tail 2+1 twin and trailor... sea worthy mate!

Eco-Warriors all around the world are rejoicing in the launch of the worlds FIRST 100% recycled traction! Woohoo!
Everyone's favorite surf accessory company On A Mission (OAM) is the first one's to come out with a 100% Recycled traction pad! Other traction companies are making "ECO" friendly traction but are 40%-60% recycled.
Keith Malloy teamed up with OAM to be the first athlete to garner the OAM "E.C.O." (Environmental Conscious Objective) Label. Everything from the pad itself, to the packaging is earth friendly!
This traction is a bit softer than the original formula and feels oh sooo sweet! Look pretty slick too with the "E.C.O." green label.
Available now in the shop and very soon in our online store! yessssss.
