Surfride Imaginarium Pre-Party


For those of you who have yet to visit Surf Ride in Oceanside... it is time to stop by and check out this shop. Founded in the 1970s Surfride has grown from the ground up. It is a few blocks from the beach and truly has an amazing shop vibe. Speaking on behalf of the Body Glove crew, we were so stoked to be able to throw a BBQ pre-party for the Transworld Imaginarium Party. A special thanks to Derek, the Surfride staff and Mike Vavak for making this happen.

Check out some photos from the BBQ:

Body Glove Wins 2011 Transworld Surf Imaginarium


Congrats to team Body Glove on winning the second annual Imaginarium photo and video contest. The Body Glove team of Cheyne Magnusson and Alex Gray were on hand with VP of Marketing Scott Daley and directors Greg Browning and Scott Smith to collect the awards on Thursday September 22nd. Body Glove was awarded the prize during a raging party at Transworld Surf Headquarters packed with Body Glove supporters from all around SoCal. Body Glove's video and concept, 8 Bit, was voted by the Transworld Surf readers as the best and their photography was just enough to get them past Reef, Rusty, and Billabong. Congrats to our good friend, Chris Straley, who was awarded the “Best Photography” trophy for his efforts on Reef’s If A Reef Had Eyes project.

Catered by Daphne’s Greek, Primo beer, Kru vodka, and Monster Energy, bodies are still piled up in and around the building this morning. Thanks to all the teams for participating, we will see Body Glove next year when they defend their title as Imaginarium 2011 Champions!

Go to Transworld Surf and to see the winning video, photos and behind the scenes footage for Body Glove's 8-Bit and than you to the readers and the Transworld crew for the inspiration. We are already kicking around ideas for next year.
