Kitesurfing in paradise

What an awful way to spent your winter. That is what we at Body Glove headquarters in Europe thought when Ruben Versluis came to collect his pile of boardshorts for his departure to Zanzibar november '08. 

Shallow, knee-deep turquoise waters, perfect reef breaks, never ending white sandy beaches, the perfect place to teach, train and chill out. Paje on the south-east coast of Zanzibar has it all. 

Every time we receive pictures from this kite paradise at the BG-office in cold and grey Alphen aan de Rijn, we ask ourselves where did we go wrong. 

 

        

Nevertheless we thank teamrider Ruben and his brother Dim Versluis (owner of the Bellevue guesthouse and the kitesurfschool) for spreading the Body Glove feeling in these turquoise waters.

Body Glove International signs Gabe Kling

Body Glove International is stoked to announce Gabe Kling has signed on to the Body Glove team. For 2009 Gabe will be rocking Body Glove wetsuits. 

“It’s really exciting to have Gabe as a part of the family,” says Greg Browning, “He is an incredible surfer with great style. We’re looking forward to his ride on the WCT in 2009.”

Gabe won his first title, ESA Jr Men’s Champ, back in 1997 and has worked hard everyday since then. With a tremendous 2nd place showing in Portugal on the WQS in 2008, he’s keeping that momentum going in 2009. 

Gabe is an awesome addition to the growing Body Glove team; he is going full force on the World Tour this year with Body Glove’s full support. 

Welcome to the team and the family Gabe Kling!!
