Dropzone
Body Glove, in partnership with PADI and Sport Diver Magazine, is thrilled to announce the release of the movie, THE DROP ZONE: Tahiti, and the sequel THE DROP ZONE: Fiji. These two movies comprise one of the greatest surfing and diving adventures of a lifetime, featuring the likes of Holly Beck, Cheyne Magnusson, and Alex Gray. Previously broadcasted on Fuel TV and shown in theaters across the country, these amazing water sports movies can now be purchased on DVD or downloaded from the iTunes store. We’re also thrilled to announce that a third DROP ZONE film is currently in development. Check back for future updates.
Alex Gray probably says it the best: “Now when there are waves, I surf, and when there aren’t, I dive.” Together with PADI and Sport Diver Magazine, Body Glove wants to infuse more people with the excitement for diving – especially the younger generations. With the help of Body Glove’s pro surfers and wakeboarders, we want to spread the word that there is a whole world under the ocean that deserves as much attention as the waves above.
The world of diving holds a special place in the heart of Body Glove. Body Glove co- founders Bob and Bill Meistrell were avid divers. The Meistrell twins were two of the very first people to become certified divers in Los Angeles County, and to this day the Meistrell family owns the Southern California retail shop Dive N Surf. For his 80th birthday in July 2008, Bob did a 117 ft. wreck dive off the coast of Redondo Beach with retro dive gear. The world premiere of THE DROP ZONE was held on October 22nd at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, during the annual Dive Trade Show (DEMA).
