Here is what Jen has to say about it…

“Some of my best memories as a kid were watching the Padres on TV with my Granny, a die hard Padre fan. I am stoked to have this once-in-a-life-time opportunity. I never thought I would actually throw out the first pitch at a Padres game.”

You better believe it Jen!

After showing her hometown some love tonight, she will head to Biarritz, France to defend her World Title at the ASP Women’s Longboard World Championships Roxy Jam 2010, which runs from July 10th – 14th.

This past weekend my friends Jen, Ally and Allison competed in a triathlon up in Ventura, CA called the Breath of Life Ventura Triathlon.

Swimming, biking, and running has never felt so  sweet.

This race was for a good cause!

The proceeds went towards helping kids with primary immunodeficiency and making sure the treatment facilities at Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA and Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City are legit.

Top female surfers Sally Fitzgibbons (World #2) and Sofia Mulanovich (World #3) as well as 14 year old Roxy team rider Chelsea Tuach (Under 18 reigning National Champion and Caribbean Ladies’ Champion- Barbados) are in top shape after their strong efforts at Red Bull’s all girls training camp. The girls took part in five intensive training days (May 27 – June 1) with each surfer working on specific aspects of both technique and nutrition. The dedicated athletes also worked on aerials, continuing what they had learnt earlier in the year at Red Bull Project Air.

“I feel more confident with my surfing after working with coaches on some progressive maneuvers’, it’s been good preparation for my next WT event”- Sally Fitzgibbons

“I am extremely happy and excited about surfing with Sofia and Sally, two of my greatest idols”- Chelsea Tuach

A great cross of team work and motivation. As you can imagine the event resulted in quite the rewarding experience for the girls on so many levels!

When it comes to finding an angle to take, there are few better in sport than to cover a hometown kid making good on their talent. Enter Laura Enever. A North Narrabeen surf rat by heart, last week she won the ASP World Junior title in front of all the “Northy boys.” It was the second world title of young Laura’s career, which leads me to believe we should pay her some mind. Here’s what she has to say about it all:

You’re the ASP World Junior Champ, how does it feel?
I’m feeling pretty amazing right now! I don’t think it has fully sunk in yet. To win the World Junior Title at home, and to be able to share with all my family and friends has always been my dream. The whole of North Narrabeen was pretty much packed on the beach supporting me and cheering me. When I won it was just such a special moment, everyone was so happy and excited, I felt like I had won the world title not only for me, but for my home. It was the perfect day. It was the best day of my life.

What was the hardest thing about winning the title?
In my first heat of the contest I got off to a really nervous start, and kind of freaked myself out. It was such a big lead up to the event and I just wanted to surf really well in front of everyone at home and do really good, but it backfired. I just got really nervous. After that heat I just told myself I wanted to have fun, not worry and just enjoy surfing my home break. Everything just went my way from there.

How did you celebrate your win?
Well, all the Northy boys had already started “celebrating” before my final even got underway. Then after I won everyone took me straight up to North Narrabeen Surf Club and we partied on. Quiksilver put a whole lot of money on the bar, so everyone was having the best time. All the Northy boys got me up on a table and sung me the North Narrabeen song and made me skull from the world title cup. I think they were proud of me.

There aren’t very many surfers that can say they’ve won both the ASP and the ISA world titles, what does that mean to you?
It is pretty cool. I guess world titles are something you can never take away from someone, so it’s pretty special. One day I would love to win the ASP World Title but for now I’m stoked on my junior world titles, and just want to take it all in and enjoy it.

What’s next on your schedule?
I’m heading up to the Gold Coast for the Roxy Pro trials, as well as the ASP Banquet, which I’m really excited about. I actually really wanted to win World Juniors so I could get invited to the banquet and go shopping and get dressed up with everyone. I’m so looking forward to it. Other than I’m going to just keep doing the Australiasion Pro Junior events this year, as well as the WQS contests. But I don’t really have any plans, I just want to go with the flow, have fun, surf some really good waves, and keep experiencing everything along the way. I’m really excited for the rest of the year.

South African beauty and renown surfer Rosy Hodge is currently gracing the cover of this month’s Surfer Girl magazine AND Surfeuses magazine. The stunning super star is most commonly found dominating the line up and competing all over the world on the ASP world tour. After checking out these gorgeous covers and features its needless to say that Rosy is quite the eye catching athlete. This young lady is one to be watched both in and out of the water. To follow up on Rosy’s whereabouts and happenings check out www.rosyhodge.com. Congrats Rosy!

Today I did a little Q&A with our awesome Fashion Graphic Designer, Jenn. She’s responsible for a lot of the designs you see on any posters, flyers, event announcements, and even snowboards that come out of our art department!

Job Title: Roxy Graphic Designer

Fav Moment at Roxy: When I was up at Mammoth for the Roxy Chicken Jam and actually got to see people using some of the snowboards and bindings I designed!

Style Inspiration: I try to gather my style inspiration from people on the street. I grew up in LA and I live off Melrose Ave so I get to people watch a lot. I love to see all people’s personalities reflected in their style.

Style Icons: Blondie. She exuded style, confidence and individuality

Advice to Readers:  Anything is possible! Go to school!! (Even if it is Art school!) Work really hard toward your dreams, never give up, and let life take you where you are supposed to be. The right things in life are never forced.  If someone told me 15 yrs ago one day I would be designing for Roxy, I would never have believed them. Life is so crazy.

Thanks Jenn! Check back next month for another ROXY Superstar!
