Summers Over...Let the Snow Fall Begin!

Ok, so I have to admit it's been a while since my last post, and for that my loyal Board Chicks I apologies, but if its any consolation ladies, you will be proud to hear that I have boarding it up this summer, (just as I am sure you have), and surfing my local spot in Hendaye...And damn what an awesome first summer it's been for this lass!!!... Any regrets yet since leaving the UK for surf in the South France ...urrrhhh need I warrant that with an answer!?!

But let's get down to business, this Board Chick is back. And yes it's a damn shame the summer is now over, but there's no need to shead a tear... The winter's heavy rainfall can only mean one thing...The snow has fallen and the mountains are awaiting!

In brief, working this summer evidently improved my french and as luck would have it, this has helped lead my path to find some work at Quiksilver...yes I know I am a lucky bugger!

Whilst working there, I have been able to see, (and purchase), some Roxy/DC Shoes gear for me, and some Quiksilver/DC Shoes stuff for my man...And these companies are offering some sick technical clothing for us board riders...The research and development for action sports clothing just gets better and better each year.

For starters just check out some of the DC Snow jackets above, the quality is seriously bad ass...(I bought the Muju Jacket in plain black and camo print)... Now its just a case of this Board Chick getting on that snowboard....

DC Shoes & Tattoo Artist Darren Brass

Reknowned and talented tattoo artist Darren Brass, (seen on T.V. show Miami Ink), has collaborated with D.C. Shoes to create 7 uniques styles for their Spring 2009 collection.

Brass, an artist, skate boarder and trainer addict, has created 2 women's shoes, 2 men's shoes, plus hoodies and New Era caps.

Using his incredible skills and originality as a tattoo artist, Darren Brass has devised and produced 2 masterpiece's for the women's range. As seen above, he has ingeniously incorporated a variety of contrasting materials and prints, such as basket panelling, cork, leather and suede. The result...2 types of collectable DC Shoes for the girl skater, which are loud, bold and great for a modern day Board Chick.

Hendaye Girl Surfer Pauline Ado!!!

This is footage by Rip Curl of French surfer and talented Board Chick Pauline Ado. She started learning to surf at her local break in Hendaye, at the age of 6 years old...(Just on a quick note, Hendaye is currently my local break since moving to France!)

Now at 18 years old she has won 2 European Junior Champion titles, once in 2005 (at 14 years) and also in 2007 (at 16 years). But this January, Pauline Ado became the Rip Curl Junior World Champion at Narrabean Beach, Sydney, Australia.
