‘Photography’

Former Jetty Urchin turned Flow Rider Dennis O’Connor just hit us up with some pics of his GF Natasha who entered this month’s model search on Transworld.com! Natasha claims that she has never modeled, yet took these photos to give to Dennis for his birthday, awwww, how thoughtful! In the same category, it was pretty thoughtful to slip one of Dennis’ sticks in there with our logo! You can vote for Natasha for Miss April here! Good luck!

We’d like to welcome new Team Rider Dan Tutalo to our skateboarding team! After John Desimas departed for Ambiguous last month, Dan approached us at the perfect time! Tutalo is a super humble, incredibly talented guy who we are stoked to add to our team. Check out his new Team rider page with photos courtesy of Tony Coon & Brian DePinto! Here’s a little welcome video as well by Joey Jordan!

There’s no question about team rider Dallas Tolson’s dedication to surfing, but where has he been?! We’ve been trying to wrestle a photo or two out of him for our Spring/Summer marketing, but he is apparently spending most of his time in the dark (pitted in deep OBX barrels)! Tolson just showed up in Surfline’s Gone But Not Forgotten highlight reel of this past winter. The Mid-Atlantic/Northeast feature is well done with all of the shots coming from photog Matt Lusk.

Team rider Billy Glatz has been on a mission getting photos lately! Here’s his latest, a backside 50/50 shot by photog Billy Cox. Glatz has shown major improvement and dedication to the game recently so expect to see his name a bunch more throughout the year!

We can’t really say enough about our hometown boy, team rider Brian Bowker…he’s blowing up! Bri has been a great ambassador of our brand both in and out of the water and his surfing speaks for itself! Although he is sometimes a bit confined to his home breaks on the south end of LBI, he is well traveled at age 15 and poised to make a name for himself on the East Coast and beyond. These photos come courtesy of John Godoy…enjoy!

Well, Jetty definitely had great presence down in Costa Rica this year! Team riders Randy Townsend & Brian Bowker recently returned home to prepare for the summer grind. Team rider Tyler Vaughan is still down there with a bit of an open ticket home. Most recently, young team rider Spencer Bridges got back to NJ and reported a great trip! Below are a few shots Spencer’s dad managed to snap as they traveled from Witch’s Rock down to Malpais. Looks like Spencer’s hard work in school has earned him some memorable travel time!

Kyle Gronostajski is one of the very few photogs that will brave the ice water to get a few photos this time of year in the Northeast…you have to give anyone who jumps in without their stick a ton of credit! Here are a few shots from March 25, 2011 that he captured of Dave Werner (Jetty Team Rider), Conor Willem & Royce Weber (After Eleven Team Riders) and Graham Mergenthaler. All of these guys compete in the Jetty Clam Jam which Kyle also volunteered his services at. Nothing like getting a water shot in the full getup!
