KitesurfschoolBEST.nl pimped it's ride


Karim Chioua now teaches kitesurfing from this hot new pimped-out van.


We agree with Anouk Chioua that this design is very kissable, specially because it's a concept out of our own Body Glove Design Department.

River Surfing the Lunch Counter Rapids

Pro ripper Alex Gray, VP of Marketing Scott Daley, Veteran River Surfer Elijah Mack and our BG Entertainment crew headed out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to check out the Lunch Counter Rapids. Eli has been talking our ear off about river surfing so Body Glove figured it was time to check it out. Basically it's a standing wave that never ends, but when it kicks you out you'll travel a half-mile down the river and have to paddle out. The Lunch Counter Rapids are a favorite of white water rapid tourists (as you'll see in the pics) and a new favorite of our's. The guys had a great time, are a little sore, but got some great footage. Check out the video and let us know what you think of river surfing. Check out the video on bodyglove.com

Bob Meistrell's Birthday Dive

Friday, July 31
Bob went out on the Body Glove boat today for his (Co-Founder of Body Glove) birthday dive. He did a dive down to 162 feet for twice his age. Bob did great and actually went down to 172 feet before coming back up. Scott Smith who is a experienced dive instructor and dives all the time said that was the first time he went down that deep and it was really crazy. You really notice a difference between 130 and 160 feet. Things just start getting weird and you really have to concentrate to keep it together.

The computer from one of the divers. It shows 162 feet for 26 min at a temp of 56F. Crazy stuff.
