GRAVITY BOARDS NEWS - The Gravity Team has just returned from Oregon where they lucked out with weather, rode 16 parks, went upside down a few times & were blessed with being the first crew allowed to ride the new Florence Skatepark. Nestled on the coast between Waldport & Port Orford, and built by Airspeed, it features the famed “Donut” obstacle, and is a gem among jewels. Gravity Skateboards is set to release the DT37, a deck featuring a composite ply made up of “G Tech” fibers & traditional epoxies. Named after its Diamond Tail shape and length of 37 inches, it’s finished with a super clean graphic.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Frank Walsh Wins Smith Optics Garden State Grudge Match - Top New Jersey Surfers Battled for Bragging Rights in Seaside Heights – After deciding to re-schedule the contest due to a growing swell from sub-tropical storm Nicole, the third annual Smith Optics Garden State Grudge Match surf contest went down at the Casino Pier in Seaside Heights on Oct 11th, 2004. The break did not disappoint as the competitors were blessed with 4- to 6- foot surf and the cleanest conditions in the event’s three-year history.

The contestants fought valiantly, but it was Atlantic City native and Smith Optics team rider Frank Walsh who took home the win. This event brings out some of the greatest rivalries in the sport of surfing today with every loser vowing revenge year in and year out. Both Frank Walsh and Sam Hammer were on a mission this time around, as they had mutually tasted defeat last year in some closely contested heats and even controversial outcomes. The two competitors dominated each round leading up to the final, with Walsh taking the highest heat totals in Round 1, quarters, and semis. Hammer took the honors in Round 2 at his home break, but in the end, his long-time friend Walsh shut him out and took home the belt and the $3,000 prize purse. This win was very significant to Walsh as in both previous years Grudge Match contests he was eliminated in the 2nd round and quarterfinals, losing to champ Dean Randazzo in 2002 and runner-up Andrew Gesler in 2003. “This contest has taken a life of its own,” says Smith Optics East Coast Sales Rep Rob Cloupe. “The man
