Body Glove Wins Transworld Imaginarium Back 2 Back Years

Body Glove wins the Transworld Imaginarium for the second consecutive year. After winning the cover of Transworld Surf with exceptional photos, Body Glove finishes up the contest by winning the Readers Choice for best video, The Disappearance.

The Disappearance follows a group of four professional surfers and six filmmakers on what should have been the ultimate surf trip to the jungles of Indonesia but quickly became an excursion into heart-stopping terror. As the group discovers a perfect, secret wave, strange images begin to appear on film. Are they sharks, alligators, or something else? Fear sets in. Accusations fly. By night, unseen evil stirs beyond their campfire’s light. By day, large animal prints are discovered nearby. Members of the crew begin to disappear one by one. As the end of their journey approaches, they realize that what they are filming is not an epic trip but their own descent into unimaginable horror.

Body Glove Wins TransWorld SURF's Imaginarium III

TransWorld SURF’s third annual Imaginarium—a contest to progress surf photography—raised the bar this year, with entries from teams from Sanuk, VonZipper, and Body Glove. In the most competitive and creative year yet, Body Glove’s video and photo submission, The Disappearance, was awarded top honors, voted on by the TransWorld SURF edit staff, along with judges from TransWorld's SKATEboarding and SNOWboarding titles. Set in the jungles of Indonesia, the submission was a mix of The Creature From The Black Lagoon meets The Blair Witch Project. In the midst of firing surf, team members Jamie O’Brien, Alex Gray, Cheyne Magnusson, and Anthony Walsh suddenly realize they’re not alone. As the tension escalates, team members begin disappearing, and their dream trip turns into a blood-splattered nightmare. “Judging for this year's Imaginarium was tough,” says TransWorld SURF Editor In Chief Chris Coté. “All three teams had completely different styles and vibes. In the end, Body Glove's submission took the win using a combination of unique angles, a solid team, and a creepy beast from the deep. Thanks to all three teams for their hard work and creative submissions, everyone produced some very cool stuff this year.” Along with the win, Body Glove team rider Jamie O’Brien also nabbed the cover of the November issue. “When we saw the cover we were all blown away,” says Body Glove’s Greg Browning. “It's one of the coolest moments ever.” “We were so stoked to be in Imaginarium this year,” says Browning, “the other two brands really stepped up the game with some cool, fun ideas, and it made it such a great thing to be a part of.”

JOB at the Wedge

Hawaiian pro surfer Jamie O'Brien made the trip from the North Shore to take part in Red Bull Wedge Sessions, a unique session aimed to showcase JOB's talents at one of the most legendary surf breaks in the U.S., the Wedge in Newport Beach, California. Just days prior to the session, the National Weather Service had issued a high surf advisory and coastal flood watch for Orange County beaches, so Jamie got the call and jumped on the next flight to the mainland.

Body Glove’s The Disappearance

For the past three years TransWorld Surf’s Imagiunarium contest has set the challenge to conceptualize and produce a unique and creative photo submission, which appears in their November issue. The photos represent the short video that is also submitted. TransWorld then chooses a winner from the three surf teams involved, which is featured on the cover of that November issue.

Last year, Body Glove took the honors of Best Video Award and Readers Choice Award at the 2011 Imaginarium against Reef, Billabong and Rusty with their 8-Bit entry. This year the teams, including Von Zipper and Sunuk, have all stepped it up and made the best videos yet. Body Glove is extremely proud of their 2012 submission, The Disappearance, which includes surfers Jamie O’Brien, Anthony Walsh, Alex Gray, and Cheyne Magnusson, and are hoping to take the win for the 2nd year in a row.

The Disappearance follows a group of four professional surfers and six filmmakers on what should have been the ultimate surf trip to the jungles of Indonesia but quickly became an excursion into heart-stopping terror. As the group discovers a perfect, secret wave, strange images begin to appear on film. Are they sharks, alligators, or something else? Fear sets in. Accusations fly. By night, unseen evil stirs beyond their campfire’s light. By day, large animal prints are discovered nearby. Members of the crew begin to disappear one by one. As the end of their journey approaches, they realize that what they are filming is not an epic trip but their own descent into unimaginable horror.

This is the footage found on the multiple hard drives and cameras recovered at the destroyed campsite. The disappearance of the eight adventurers is still under investigation. Two survivors have been questioned repeatedly and continue to tell investigators strange stories of a sea creature. Search and rescue has finally reached the remote jungle campsite, but contact has been lost as of this press release. All attempts to establish contact with the search party have gone unsuccessful.
