Ron Jon Surf Shop and Roxy will offer beachgoers and surf fashion fans a plethora of fun-filled activities on June 19. The free festivities will include a Design-A-Bikini contest, Roxy t-shirt tie-dying, manicures by OPI, flip flop making and more.

If you have ever dreamed of making it as a designer, Roxy invites you to visit Roxy.com/designabikini for details on creating your own Roxy bikini. A national winner will be selected from the designs submitted and will have their inspiration manufactured and sold worldwide. As an added bonus, the grand prize winner will also receive $3,000. Designs may be submitted at Ron Jon Cocoa Beach on Friday, June 19th from 5-8pm, and the regional winner will receive a $100 Roxy gift card.

If releasing your inner designer isn’t quite your thing, you’re still sure to have fun at one of the many Roxy activity stations set up at Ron Jon Cocoa Beach. All the stations are free and first come, first served for girls of all ages. At the conclusion of the event, Roxy is showing their new girls surf movie Dear & Yonder. This inspiring movie features a dynamic cast of ladies, ranging from seasoned surf professionals to rising stars who are just now coming into the spotlight. Each of their stories is unique, but they are all connected by a spirit of adventure and love for the ocean. The cast includes Roxy’s own Sally Fitzgibbons, Kassia Meador and many more. These talented athletes show how far women’s surfing has come, and to demonstrate just where its roots began, the film journeys back in time to uncover the sport’s rich history with icons Linda Benson, Rell Sunn and Lisa Anderson. These surfers are just some of the movie’s impressive cast, assembled not only for their skills in the water, but for their inspiring way of relating to the world and each other.

Tim Boal signs new Oakley, Pull-In Underwear contracts 0

Tim Boal signs new contracts with Oakley and Pull-In Underwear

Bordeaux, France — ASP World Tour rookie Tim Boal (Anglet, FRA), 25, recently re-signed with Oakley and also put pen to paper on a new contract with Pull-in Underwear following new endorsement deals brokered by Agency Sports International (ASI) Management.

The reigning ASP European Men’s Champion continues to power his way into 2009 after an incredible season on the World Qualifying Series in 2008, culminating in the Frenchman earning himself a precious spot on the elite ASP World Tour. After taking his place among the world’s top 44 surfers at the Quiksilver Pro in Australia earlier this month, Boal impressed spectators and judges alike by winning his first heat in emphatic style before capitulating in the 3rd round and earning himself an equal 17th place finish.

Following his promising performance on the Gold Coast, Boal took some time out to reflect on his latest endorsement deals, and said: “Oakley have been supporting me for a long time and I’m really stoked to extend my contract with them so that I can keep working with the brand.

We enjoyed a lot of success in 2008 and I’m confident that I can go on and achieve even greater things this year with the benefit of their support. It’s also a real pleasure to sign with Pull-in – they’ve got one of the most stacked action sports teams in the business, and it’s an honor to line up alongside those team riders.”

Looking ahead, Boal is anxious to build on the promising start he has made on the ASP World Tour, and said: “Professional surfing has come a long way in Europe in the last few years, and I’m really excited to be one of seven surfers flying the European flag on the World Tour this year. My support team and I have worked really hard over the last few months to rehabilitate my foot injury, and I’m stoked the hard work has finally paid off.

The opportunity to paddle out and compete against the world’s best surfers is something I’ve been working towards all my life, and I’m going to make the most of that opportunity in 2009 and hopefully beyond. Thanks to my girlfriend, my parents, my friends and my sponsors for all the support, especially during the tough times!”
