Kustom Hosts the Aerial Competition Again this Year
Footwear brand Kustom is again offering a $50,000 cash reward to the surfer that lands the best and most innovative aerial move between January 1 and August 31, 2010. This contest will once again be surfing’s richest single-manoeuver event. Watch a short video here.
Last year the event was won by the Hawaiian teenage prodigy Dusty Payne, who overcame entries from many of the world’s greatest aerial surfers, including Jay Davies, Mitch Colborne, Ry Craike, Clay Marzo and Chris “Chippa” Wilson to claim the winner-take-all $50,000 prize.
“Kustom’s mission with the Airstrike remains to produce surfing that is so inspired and revolutionary that it breaks all the rules, ultimately changing the face of surfing as we know it,” said Harry Truscott, General Manager of Kustom footwear.
The Kustom Airstrike concept has won support from some of the world’s best surfers, including three-time world champion Andy Irons and 2009 world title contender Joel Parkinson, both Kustom team riders.
