Maldives.

So the snowboard season is over, that means most of us are at home, either working, hitting the gym, summer snowboarding or surfing! I spent one month at home training and then went on a surf mission to the Maldives with some friends, here is a blog from my trip, for more pics, check here.

THE MALDIVES – 1192 islands.

We scratched the surface.

5 Islands.

1 boat trip.

This is what went down…

3 days surfing Lohis, Hudanhuranfushi

We then spent a week on this big girl…

The GTM cruiser! surfing, snorkeling, swimming with dolphins and lots of fishing!

Core and yoga went down most days, Jigga man aka Weaver is the boss at Yoga, he had me and the Jones up getting involved in the session every day after the surf.  Greenshields also got involved in the core and had us doing all sorts of maneuvers!

This is me at Saltans, gunning it! haha. a fun right that we spent alot of time at.

food fights with the staff!

checking out local islands, still not sure to this day whether the boys made us wear scarfs round our heads because of the religion or for a laugh! either way,  it was great to see how they live on these tiny islands.

Hope you enjoyed the photo's!

I am now home for a week before I head to 2 Alpes with Katie Ormerod, Roxy UK grommie! can't wait.

Local Baum wins open division of the 12th annual Roxy Wahine Cup

Buanca Buitendag wins the junior division, getting a spot to the world's!

Well done roxy team!!


Sarah Baum  emerged victorious today in the open women's division at South Africa’s biggest stand alone women’s surfing event, the Roxy Wahine Cup. 17 year old Baum scored an impressive heat total of 16.50 out of a possible 20 points to earn herself the winner’s cheque of R10 000. Baum surfed fast and radically in the 3-4 feet solid waves to claim first place. 

Bianca Buitendag who had just beaten Baum in the U20 Pro Junior division was convincingly beaten by an on-form Baum to finish second in the open women’s division. “I am very happy with winning the event, I would have been stoked to win both divisions but couldn’t seem to find my rhythm in the previous final.

This win definitely gives me a lot of confidence going into my next few competitions,” said an elated Baum who spends most of her time surfing at the competition venue, New Pier. Chantelle Rautenbach (Melkbosstrand) and Tasha Mentasti (Cape Town) finished 3rd and 4th respectively in the same final.

In the U20 ASP Pro Junior division final it was Buitendag who got the better of fierce rival Baum by posting two high scores in the 8 point region. Buitendag won herself R7 000 in prize money and an automatic slot into the ASP World Pro Junior Series to be held later on in the year. Baum managed to place second with a heat total score of 13.25 points, Heidi Palmboom (Bluff) and Faye Zoetmulder (Cape St. Francis) placed 3rd and 4th respectively.

Torah Bright - Lake Powell

Last week, I went to Lake Powell for a much needed summer adventure and a getaway from home improvements. I’ve lived in Utah for a long time now and this was my first trip down there and it was absolutely amazing! If you’ve never been I highly recommend it. We did the whole Lake Powell experience, renting a houseboat and jet skis; cruising around the millions of years of sandstone channels, jumping off cliffs, swimming and just taking in the massiveness of it all. So beautiful! Here are a few of the hundreds of photos I took throughout the week. Enjoy and get yourself there as soon as possible!

 

Houseboat living!

Cruising around the canyons on our jet skis.

Cheers, Torah

Kassia Meador Re-signs With Roxy!

We’re happy to share these awesome news…straight from the wire:

KASSIA MEADOR RE-SIGNS WITH ROXY AS AMBASSADOR AND DESIGNER

 

Encinitas, California (June 15, 2011) – Pro surfer, photographer and artist, Kassia Meador, renews her partnership with Roxy, adding the title of designer to her list of talents. The 28-year-old California girl has been an integral part of both women’s surfing and the Roxy brand’s growth since she was 17-years-old. Kassia will now be both a Roxy ambassador to women’s surfing, while also officially lending her k*meador designs to their wetsuits and streetwear collection.

 

“After all the years together, Roxy’s been like family and such a big part of my life,” says Meador. “Roxy has opened up so many experiences and opportunities to me and women’s surfing and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with their designers; keeping the good vibes going by sharing our designs with their audience.”

 

Whether traveling the globe with the Roxy Team or taking part in executive roundtables, Kassia’s been deeply involved with nearly every aspect of the Brand. The silhouette of Kass’ frame gracefully maneuvering through peeling waves is iconic after over a decade of magazine covers, films, and advertising campaigns. Roxy launched the k*meador signature wetsuit and lifestyle collections in 2010. The new partnership will allow these lines to grow in the coming years.

 

“We are so stoked to re-sign Kassia to Roxy. She has long been a part of the Roxy family and we’ve watched her evolve from a phenomenal surfer to an inspirational artist and photographer. She is our muse and the epitome of a surfer girl. Her artistic talents and designs have made their way into our products and creative campaigns. We are proud to continue to support her k*meador wetsuit collections and look forward to expanding her design talents into other categories,” stated Danielle Beck, Vice President of Marketing for Roxy.

 

Kassia represents Roxy on the surf front in contests and filming for projects including Sight|Sound, Transfer Textures, Dear and Yonder and the Present.

 

Kassia travels next to France for the Women’s ASP Longboard World Tour stop, the Roxy Jam at the Cotes des Basques, Biarritz, France, being held from July 11 – 17.

Knee rehab

I managed to finish my little edit from my rehab. I was doing rehab 3 times a week over the last 3 month and as it was such a big injury my knee didn't really start bending and moving as it should so I got another surgery last wednesday to get out the scar tissue. So now I should be able to bend it properly soon and hopefully start training as soon as possible. I have another 8 weeks where I can't train with weights just get it moving really. And another 3 or 4 month without sports.
But I am really motivated to get it good again and I try to be as patient as i have to be and looking forward to a summer in Innsbruck and in september the ocean again.... wuhuu!
Enjoy the edit and I ll try to film more when I progress :-)
