Today the Surfslam commences its annual onslaught of the Pacific Ocean waves. Hope you can make it as the weather and wave forecast looks stellar.

We would like to express our gratitude to the staff of Power Motorsports for the continued support of the Surfslam. We could not take care of our competitiors without the use of their watersafety waverunners and beach support vehicles.

Thank you Jon and Dave!

A big shout out to our Russian sponsors Igor and Yury from http://www.jetski-club.ru/.

While they have 'stolen' two of our favorite pro-freeriders (Mike Serlin and Eddie Bettencourt) for the Russian JET GRAND PRIX 2010 http://russkigp.com/ that just so happens to be this same weekend as well, we applaud their assistance and sponsorship of the 2010 Surfslam once again. Gaurd your vodka and your ladies - Mike and Eddie are coming to town.

Partners On Demand (http://www.partnersondemand.com/) is proud to once again be the official ink-squirter of the Blowsion Surfslam. Not only are Jay and Josh Dannenmann in charge of the most cutting edge print facility on the West Coast, they also are watercraft aficionados to the nth degree. This father-son combination can hold their own on the water, in the waves, at the bar and in your inbox! Here is the fresh off the press limited edition Blowsion Surfslam Poster for 2010 as printed by POD!

This pic was taken today of Pro Freerider Marc Sickerling in between practice heats on the water at Pacific City. Showing off the true Fonzi leather look that is all the rage in Coastal Oregon this legendary Freerider is gonna put the full Hogans Heroes smack down on the Pro Freeride class this weekend!

This just in: Bibs have been field tested by ASP and are ready for the RC rental car piss test!

Action Screen Printing is the official Surfslam Apparel sponsor as well as the producer of the killer gear you will see on the beach at the Surfslam. ASP Owner Brian "BAMM BAMM" Mowrey is an olds school buoy shredder from the days of yore who may just join the group n Saturday with some 'salted nuts" of his own with some Pacific Ocean wave action. Thank you Brian, Aaron and Jenny! http://www.actionscreenprinting.com/

Hertz Rental Equipment will be providing two 4WD Scissor lifts for the Surfslam Judges as well as the media photographers and video crews. Look for these two incredible machines to be crawling up and down the beach recording and judging every water borne activity to be viewed. We would like to give a huge thank you for the assistance in this sponsorship from Hertz staffers Michael Taylor, Jennifer Banta, and Bryan Harrington. Our gratitude for your support is deep.

Goddard Enterprises is pulling the Tennessee cat out of the hat once again and providing the Surfslam with the most stellar set of industrial event trophies every made. Last year's cylinder sleeve beer holders were off the hook.

What do Russ, Andy and Greg have up their wetsuit sleeve this year? http://goddard-enterprises.com/

The Blowsion SurfSlam welcomes back for 2010 Khaled Alduaij of K&S Racing in Kuwait. Khaled equips the top riders in the middle east with K&S prepared throw-down ready watercraft and ATV's. As this year's sponsor of the K&S Big Air Showdown we welcome all fans and riders to watch the K&S amplitude meter go sky high as all compete for a chance at the $500.00 Big Check cash award.

Media News Flash - the world famous photo lens magician and #1 most respected survivor of sleeping in the same box van with Joe Kenney , Heather Selwitz has decided to put down the Gerber Baby slime and pick up her camera for the 2010 Surfslam. Using a moist Pampers (?), Heather will dust off the 300mm lens on her Nikon and sharpen her scribe to generate what has always been the most interesting coverage of anything Jet Ski related since Larry Rippenkroeger first made Kevin Costner look bad in Waterworld.

Jet Import France has once again stepped up and shown why not only was the Statue of Liberty a gift from France, but also why the sport of Freeride and Jet Ski Racing is alive and well in the French rolling surf.

Pierre-Jean Bouliou (Pee Jay to all his adoring fans), the president of Jet Import is welcomed as a Industry Level sponsor again for 2010. PJ also takes time out of his incredibly busy schedule to attend the Blowsion Surfslam and be one of the IFWA judges. Enuff said. #1 Tuff Guy and the most popular Frenchman in the sport of Jet Skiing. Thank you Jet Import.

Media News Flash - the infamous Ludo and Julien from Fullgaz will be covering the event in photo and film as only these two artists can.

Hide those hottie girlfriends and wives- the filming frogs will be in town!

Jettribe - after a grueling 2 months of burning up pavement and road rubber in the Jettribe promotional assault transporter following the IJSBA national jet ski tour, Tony, Patrick, Sarah and Chelsea et al have thrown their supporting sponsorship behind the Surfslam and will be attending and displaying on the Surfslam beach Saturday and Sunday (Sept 11/12th). Check out all the new Jettribe gear for purchase. Ever felt like asking Tony where he finds the hot models for his photo shoots? Buy him a local microbrew and you might find out what version of Jettribe Cat Nip is the correct blend!

Media News Flash - Nascency Films' Chris Burgess has broken away from the ball and chain of daily Hollywood film work to join forces with Ross Champion for some "special" private filming at the Surfslam 2010 and for a few days afterwards...... what the hell are these guys up to? Claymation? Ren and Stimpy Reloaded? A new pilot for a Gilligan's Island reunion show? Stay frikkin tuned.

Jet Pilot with the assistance of esteemed JP Manager Ed Santos has come thru this year with full support for the Blowsion Surfslam Water Safety crew. Look to see the latest and greatest JP gear on the most important rescue members on the beach and in the water at SURFSLAM 2010. With the new 2011 JP gear being released at the Blowsion Lake Havasu World Finals vendors booth (http://www.ijsba.com/ijsba/index.cfm?s=wf2010&t=2010/wf/main.htm) this will be a preview of what is considered the coolest shizznatt to come from JP in many years.

Cold Fusion has thrown down the most baddest-ass sponsorship support yet this year. Carl Gramberg not only chips some of the coolest billet stuff around, he also rides surf like a raped ape and still finds time to assist the On Course Events and IFWA staff with judging duties. Please if you see Carl in a tired daze at Surfslam buy him a Rockstar. Carl IS A ROCKSTAR in the sport of Jet Skiing and Freeride. Thank you Carl.

PS- stay tuned here for soon to be released pricing and availability of the limited edition Cold Fusion Billet Surfslam Clocks.
These 6 inch Diameter Beauties are fully functional anodized red or blue. What could be cooler than a back flip every minute!

ODI in the slam!

Look what the top competitors will be receiving because of the generosity of the injection rubber mad scientists at ODI?

These monster cool can coolies will be on display for all salivating fans to ooh and aah over.

But wait?! There is more coming from ODI on this page shortly......

Bend EZ!

Dr. Trotter is Blowsions official team Chiropractor, specializing in 30ft backflip and barrel roll prone injuries. Late night imbibing at the Oar House got you down?

Girlfriend twist your leg backwards because she keeps coming in dead last in importance next to that total loss ignition you have been saving for?

ODI: grip pic and press

The crew from ODI Grips have thrown in with full Industry Sponsor support of the Blowsion Surfslam. Having long ago realized that watercraft grips require a different compound than non-water sport grips the ODI master Colby continues to work with the Blowsion team in formulating new compounds and colors for their patented lock on grip technology. As a special offer for 2009, the top finishers of the Surfslam and Pro Racing classes will receive a set of limited edition Copper Ruffian grips with lazer etched Surfslam insignia on the end caps.

PRESS: Kommander

Industry power house and renowned horsepower magician Steve Webster and his Arizona based Kommander Industries Team (http://www.kommanderind.com) have linked yet again for 2009 with Pro Kawi Ski racer Dustin Motzouris from South Africa. Having secured a Monster energy drink support contract for both the Surf Slam and the 2009 Lake Havasu Jet Ski World Finals, (http://www.ijsba.com/ijsba/index.cfm?s=wf2009&t=2009/wf/main.htm) Dustin and his brother Tyrone will not only be competing in the Pro Ski Class at the Surfslam, but will also be putting the scare on the talented Pro Freeride class as full scale competitors as well. These two gifted brothers from South Africa promise to put on a smack down in the surf as they train exclusively year round in the ZA surf and are ready to battle the Pac City swells with the world's finest freeriders.

Josh Lustic has also returned to the Kommander Industries / Blowsion team for the 2009 Surfslam and World Finals. Josh will be riding a special Blowsion prepared Yamaha Super Jet for the Freeride competition of the Surf Slam, and a Kommander Built Carbon Fiber Matrix ski for the Lake Havasu World Finals Pro Freestyle class. Kommander Industries principals Steve and Brittanie Webster would also like to announce that they have joined forces with Pro Ski Racer and truly gifted graphic design guru Sean Workman to create a new media company six2midnightmedia.com. This talented team will be focusing on website design and other graphic output for the Motorsports Industry.

A few words from Jack Shelley about Worx and the Surf Slam:

As many of you will know I have only recently taken over Worx Racing Components as the new owner. In this very short time I have quickly been able to work out who are the movers and shakers in the personal water craft industry. Worx initially was a business that started by a few guys sitting around believing they could do something better than what was currently being offered in the market place. Unfortunately, for us Australians, a lot of these products were being made overseas and it was therefore the typical Australian attitude of “we can do better than that” and “lets give it a go and see what happens” came into play.

Right from the outset Worx made itself known to the PWC industry all around the world. The very first grate produced by Worx, our WR201, was the grate to have if you had a superjet or wave blaster. A fact that still remains today; ask anyone from the old days to the more recent riders and they will tell you the Worx WR201 is the one to get.

Another name that is also synonymous with standups and superjets is of course Blowsion. I believe that it is a great honour for any company to be asked to present the Blowsion Surf Slam but I think it is even more of an honour for a company based outside of America. For too long it has been regarded by both Americans and Australians that if it doesn’t come out of the US then it is no good. Well I don’t believe that this is even close to being true any more. Worx, in my opinion of course, have the best RXP-X grate out at the moment, still the best superjet intake grates, WR201 and WR205 and we have recently released our new FZR intake grate that already is getting some outstanding results. Forget figures of 80 mph wait till you see what Worx have achieved. All I can say right now is watch this space as Worx Racing are about to release some new products to the market that will probably both shock and interest a lot of people. Worx are expanding both globally and their product range. Currently exporting to over 8 countries Worx will soon be providing an array of originally designed aftermarket performance and handling products for all models of PWC’s all over the world.

We all know that it’s what’s down under that counts in any style of PWC sport so the natural and obvious choice is Worx Racing Components.

"Worx works... don’t settle for second best.”
