BODY GLOVE NEW VIDEO PODCAST AVAILABLE ON ITUNES We have been working hard with our athletes to bring you the best video footage on our website and media partners. With all of this new content and more in the pipeline we thought it was about time to launch a podcast on iTunes. Search "Body Glove" in the iTunes store and enjoy for years to come. Start with "The Bill and Bob Story" to find out how the world's first wetsuit was invented and why Body Glove is still the oldest family-owned surf company in the biz and then stay around to check surfing, wakeboaring and the famous Behind the Scenes: Body Glove Bikini Photo Shoots." The Body Glove Wake Team Returns to the tiki shack
It is becoming a bit of a springtime tradition- the annual trip to the Body Glove Tiki Shack with the crew to shoot video and photos and hang out. This year's trip had an all-star crew and we will be cranking out our first ever full length wakeboard video from the footage. Check back soon for the trailer of Slick City and see Rusty Malinoski, Jeff McKee, Daniel Doud, Bob Soven, James Balzer, Shelby Kantar and Hollywood Harry the Turtle ripping the Tiki Shack. Surf Team News
The Body Glove Surf Team is cranking right now. Luke Stedman is in Australia and getting ready to attack the 2009 WCT Tour after the birth of his first child. Alex Gray has been scoring covers and huge layouts in all of the major magazines and is getting ready for a big WQS event in Scotland. Alex also just helped Project Save Our Surf raise over $40,000 for the non-profit group Oceana. Alex joined celebrities and pro surfers like Rob Machado, James Pribram, Jeremy Sherwin, Jon Rose, Peter “P.T.” Townend and Shaun Thomson in surf competitions in Santa Monica during the day. Dusty Payne just added $50,000 to his bank account and added to his growing reputation by winning the Kustom Airstrike for pulling off the best ariel maneuver over the last eight months. Dusty's air reverse is amazing. Mike Losness took the title at the Vans Pier Classic presented by Jack's Surfboards in Huntington Beach. Dusty Payne, Austin Ware, Mike Losness, and Nate Yeomans are getting ready for the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro starting this week. Gabe Kling is off to the races on the 2009 WCT Tour and is looking forward to next month's event in Tahiti. New body Glove Videos updating all of the time

Check out the Body Glove Videos section for clips from our new 2009 Wetsuit Campaign, D-Man Festival, The Tiki Shack, Body Glove History, Europe, Baja, Underwater, The North Shore, Bali and lots of girls in Body Glove bikinis. wake team news
The wake team always seem to get inspired by the start of the season trip to the Tiki Shack. Rusty Malinoski came back from the Tiki Shack and won Pro Men's and Team Titles at The Wake Games, the first stop on the King of Wake Tour in Orlando Florida. Rusty then scored the May cover of Wakeboarding Magazine. Jeff McKee just scored the Wakeboarding Magazine April cover which debuts the new title design and makes it back to back covers for Body Glove.. James Balzer is on the cover of May's SBC Wake and has his own blog on SBC Wake. Daniel Doud scored an internship with Liquid Force in Carlsbad so he will be seeing the industry from the inside down south for the next few months. Shelby Kantar is writing a column for Alliance Wake about women's wakeboarding. Her first piece is going to be about women's team managers. New Products Online
