In the heart of the Australia Sydney Basin’s southern beaches emerges a rocky island of mortal consequence – Shark Island. A battleground where the fearless embrace the ferocious nature of its shallow waters, leaving them licking their wounds and returning for more. The Shark Island Challenge (SIC), Cronulla’s only truly international surfing event, had its inception in 1997 (winner was Matt Percy), and left a mark on the global bodyboarding stage, attracting international talents to challenge local heroes since then. The SIC competition runs uniquely as a specialty event with a total of 24 bodyboarders – 20 athletes are invited from all the corners of the globe, including 4 who call the break their own, the local crew. Find out More Info at https://sharkislandchallenge.com/ Highlights from the 2016 SIC:

NMD Alpha Fins are made from 100% malaysian Rubber, making their asymmetriical flippers a comfortable, durable & powerful fin which can be used for all aquatic activities. The Assymetrical Shape of the Alpha Fins gives increased propulsion with a slower kick meaning less energy chasing waves & more energy spent riding them. Available now.

NMD & VS' New Alpha Flex Concept. NMD & VS have recently released their new Alpha Flex Core which is a new stringerless core. The concept was tested by Ben Player when a bit more flex was needed in colder waters & heavier waves & the result worked well. The core is strengthned by the PFS-T Beams with run parallel from the tail to nose. The best part besides the extra flex & overall feel is that you can comfortably plug your board anywhere in the middle. Read on to be further enlightened. Shop the range of Alpha Flex models here .
