The Mystery Surfer

He’s a quietly spoken fella from the apple isle. You’ve seen him charging 20 foot Shipsterns – airing off the step, landing in the flats, riding out on the foam ball. What you may not know is that he shreds small waves and can thread left hand tubes like nobody’s business. His name is James Holmer-Cross and he is the mystery surfer in the Rip Curl Padang Cup 2010. We found JH-C checking the waves at Uluwatu and hit him up for a lil interview… cheers to waves mag for the Story in our team rider!

Feedback from Tasmania

Hey Dave
How's it going?
Here's the round up from all the East Coast surf we got last week.
That's me on the backhand on the first shot of the Sleeping Giant Awakes! i'm on the 6'8" turbo and it went unreal.
It's a shame the shot was taken in the arvo when the swell backed off a little and the wind came up a bit.
But hey there were only 3 of us out and was still heaps of fun.
Got a couple more orders coming through this week apparently so you'll here from me soon.
Keep those boards coming
