Body Glove Adds Two to the Force

Redondo Beach, CA – Body Glove is excited to announce the addition of the newest sales reps to the Body Glove family, Scott Overland and Jono Craig. Scott will be handling Orange to San Diego County with the help of his sub rep Jono.

Scott has been repping for the last 15 years and says, “I’m excited to be a rep for a line with this much heritage, the product looks amazing and I’m stoked to bring it to my accounts.”

Jono is newer to the game, having worked with Scott for the last year. But the world of surf is not new to him, “The bigger picture is more than just surfing, stickers and clothes. I appreciate the people that make the sport what it is and Body Glove is an awesome core brand. They have gotten to where they are because of those core roots in the surf industry.”

Scott and Jono will be ripping through the southern most parts of California showing off Body Glove’s wetsuits and accessories to specialty and core surf shops.

“These guys are awesome. Very authentic, real surf enthusiasts, they wake up every morning and think about surfing,” says Matt Walls, Surf Brand Manager, “This is something to be said about a person who can follow his passion and make it his career. These guys are well polished sales reps and I look forward to surfing and working with them for many years to come.”

Body Glove extends a warm welcome to the family Scott Overland and Jono Craig and here’s to making it a great year!!

Clyde the Wonder Pup!!!!

WOOF. HI!!! My name is Clyde. My dad is professional surfer Cheyne Magnusson. Well my dad and mom, Erin, are off to FIJI which leaves me in a bit of jam… Who is going to take care of me? What will I do? Who will play with me? When we stopped by dad’s sponsor BODY GLOVE’s offices on Thursday they were literally FIGHTING over who would get to puppy sit me. The lady in the front office won [I think she may have bribed them] and I am happy to say that I will be staying with Aunt Hillary and her 2 other dogs and 2 cats. I will pop in periodically to let you all know how it is going. But I have been promised walks, visits to the dog park, even a SPA DAY at Bubbles Pet Spa…There will be some chewing going on if they don’t deliver – I am already missing my folks but I am excited to make some new friends and hang out at the Body Glove offices with the nice humans there. I tried to be brave when my parents left and Matt Lane did his best to distract me. I will miss them, but I think I will make the best of it and have some fun. Talk to you later!!

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.
