Erik is on the way to San diego to shoot the last sequences of the longboardmovie DROP. They will shoot freeride sequences so now encore clothing will suit better than the leathersuits:) The movie is the longboard response of the snowboardmovie “thats it thats all”, filmed by hollywood camera team that made carchases for movies such as batman etc etc. Looking forward to see the result and we will keep you posted when first teaser are out for the public.
The downhill skateboard event- Gold Coast Outlaw- went off this weekend in Australia. The underground event started off in true Aussie style with beers and BBQ but the good vibes where soon to be washed away with heavy rain and angry police banning the event. So after a wet slide session followed by a wild night the riders met up at a new location with dry streets, blue skies and no police to be seen.
The level of riding was high and the fastest skaters where reaching speeds up to 90 km! Encore amigo Jonatan Lundmark from Dampling Productions finished on a solid 4th place. The Swedes have been representing lately and have been on the podium the last 3 longboards comps in Australia.
With the lovely spring approaching Encore will soon release their longboard collection. New for this year is the Dampling signature model.

Sebastian visited our friends at Lapoint surfcamp / morocco, January 09, took som pictures of our new collection and, as the dampling production twins usually do as a bonus, made a little movie about it all. Check out the swell..crazy! The skinny, hippielooking dude paddeling out is mr Sebastian himself.
Sebastian reports from South america:
Punta lobos point break in Chile got world recognition in 2006 when footage appeared of local charger Diego Medina paddeling in to some huge waves . He later that year won the big wave xxl billabong award.
When i arrived at the crack of dawn to Punta lobos, standing at the top of the cliffs looking out i was greeted by an empty long reeling left hander. Now the big question was how to get out to the peak..
I ended up paddeling through a channel of seaweed, surging water and white wash and climbing up on small island and walking across it and jumping in from the side between a set.
In the bottom turn of my first wave i look up and realize its double over head. Never judge abook by its cover, or a wave standing on at the top of a cliff he he..
With seagulls and seals and sealions and icecream headaches and super long waves Chile lived it up!
