Anyone who plays in the ocean has a "dolphin story"... that time they shared the water with dolphins, perhaps surfing, snorkelling, diving or swimming. For anyone this has happened to, it leaves an impression which lasts a lifetime. Dolphins truly are amazing creatures and bring joy to people the world over.
I saw "The Cove" movie last night and am still in shock. It exposes one of the most shocking things I've seen in many years. In a small town in South Eastern Japan called Taiji an estimated 23,000 dolphins are sold and killed from September to March each year. Here's the trailer so you can see what it's all about.

Slingshot officially announced their partnership with Aviso Surf this week. Aviso are the leaders in carbon fibre surfboards in the US. After spending a week in Bali recently with John from Aviso and seeing Ben Wilson stoked on his boards, I'm confident carbon fibre boards are going to be popular with kiters... not to mention the fact they look sick!
