Sundown's Fantasy Surfer Club Champ Crowned!, Doug "NYRippa" Milstein Reigns Supreme As Fantasy Surfer Champ

Doug Milstein was all smiles when he came into Sundown Surf Shop this winter to collect his bounty. Doug had just finished at the top of the Inaugural Sundown Fantasy Surfer Club Year End Ratings and is now crowned the Sundown Fantasy Surf Club Champ! He walked away with a sweet Quiet Flight 5'11" Squash and Two, count them, two FREE Roundtrip tickets to Puerto Rico on Jet Blue. Who wouldn't have a grin ear to ear?
Doug's consistency on the Fantasy Surfer Tour earned him the win but he also placed well within the top 500 of the overall Surfer Magazine Fantasy Surfer Group, which is huge considering there are over 20,000 participants! Doug had his teams picked for every comp and was on top of it when it counted most, especially in Brazil where almost half of the top 16 were no shows and everyone who wasn't paying attention had have their teams not counted. Obviously Slater was the main pick for everyone's team but the important picks were the lower rung guys who were cheap to purchase for teams. Doug was right on the money for almost every event. Pipe was his crowning Victory and was probably the one event that a lot of people may not have chosen Slater as their top pick. Doug stayed with his tried and true and clinched it. A special note: Slater's surfing at the 2008 Pipe Masters was BullS--t!! Riding a 5'10 in 6-8ft Pipe! That had to be one of the most enjoyable Pipe Masters to watch! IT was also sick to see Wardo break into the finals again.
Below are some picks The Champ and his new board! The World Tour begins in a couple of weeks. Slater is gunning for 10! The Sundown Fantasy Surf Club will be closing it's doors once the events starts. If you want to have a go at the Sundown Fantasy Surf Club this year, join now because after the second event at Bells, no new members will be able to join! Prizes and the Preview will be released soon. Stay tuned. Congrats to Doug Milstein for killing it this year. The guy is one of the nicest and coolest guys out there. Thank you to everyone who participated in Sundown's Fantasy Surfer Club. We were stoked on everyone's participation and hope to make it bigger next year.
Cheers,

Bra Boys, Archy, Fitty-Fitty, and more Shredda DVDs are in!!, Sundown's DVD Collection and Movie Review

Fresh out of the Box Sundown just got in some quality surf films. I've been an active surf film collector for over 20 years now. My library is now reaching the 400 mark. I have to say this is the golden era in surf film making. Never before has such a wide array and range of films have ever been put out. The quality just keep getting better and the bar is raised each year. I'm currently involved in helping to organize the New York Surf Film Festival and to be honest, I have never watched so many surf movies in such a short amount of time. Amongst a lot of the films that I have been viewing, for me, the one that sticks out the most is The Archy movie! It's rare that you get a pro surfer be candid and honest about their difficulties and it's even more rare to find a surf movie where the industry surfers are self critical of the Surf Industry itself. The music is top notch with everything from Bowie to the Buzzcocks! The editing is smooth and works off of a chronological order of events in Archy's life. The surfing... It's Archy, you can't go wrong! For all of those who have strayed to the darkside, or are curious about the less glamorous side of surfing, this movie will have you talking for days after. For the grommets who think Taj or Dane are gods, watch this movie and realize that without Archy, we'd all be surfing three to the beach doing white water floaters and wearing track suits to the beach! Know your roots!!! For the Archy die hards, get ready to quench your thirst for raw radical power surfing!!!

Tavy and J-Bay Recap. Rip Curl Search Preview

Well, Slater has taken out 4 out of the last 5 events!!! It seems to be a run away season for the 8x world champ. We all know who is on everyone's team at the moment!!! Tavarua was Slater's from the get go. CJ put a up a good fight in a repeat of the 06' event final. Only instead of pumping Restaurants it was funky Cloudbreak. Many of the other contenders seemed to drop the ball. Especially Taj, Mick and Parko. All three are going to be the only ones with a chance of challenging Slater. AI has gone absent. He's consistent. But consistently making quarters and thats it. Expect him to shine at the Rip Curl Event in Indo. Then it was on to J-Bay where Slater just walked all over the competition. The only person to come clost to taking Slater down was Parko! He was the form surfer of the event. It was unfortunate that the conditions deteriorated to windy mush by the semis. Fanning was surfing smooth but not on. He never really seemed to be the standout surfer and the final was embarrassing for him. How many times did he fall in that final. The Slater voodoo worked. The surfer everyone needs to keep a close eye on this year is Adriano de Souza. This kid's surfing has finally started to mature and you can see the improvement in waves of consequences. He may still have a stink bug stance but he backhand barrel riding is just filth. He ran into Kelly again at Jeffries in the quarters. A rematch of their heat last year. Slater yet again proved to be just a bit too much for the young Brazilian. Everyone should be picking this guy for the Brazil Event. Now, onto the next event, the Rip Curl Somewhere event which will be in Indo. Everyone should be thinking goofyfooters! I think Martinez and the Hobgoods are going to break out in this event. AI will be gunning for his third Rip Curl Search win. And I bet Slater is now thinking of trying to breka the record for the most wins in a season, now shared by Damien Hardman, Tom Curren and Kelly Slater with 7 wins. Slater is going for 8 wins. The one person who I reckon will be a good buy is Bruno Santos. He's the only other surfer to have won an event this year other than Slater. He's a good cheap buy and he charges left hand barrels. This event should be interesting and all we know is that the contest is being held at a left hander that is notorious for being hard on the backhand. And now for the Sundown Fantasy Surf Club winner. Yup that is right! Coastal Conviction has been on a roll, claiming the last two events and is now climbing the ratings. Coastal just squeeked out a win in the last event at J-bay with 764 points. Firesurf was next with 763. How close is that!!! Coastal Conviction needs to email me @ sundownskisurf@gmail.com in order to receive their prize from Sundown. Good luck to Everyone with the Rip Curl Event. Cheers, Tyler Breuer Sundown Ski and Surf 516-796-1565 www.sundownsurf.com, www.sundownsurf.blogspot.com sundownskisurf@gmail.com
