Congrats! to Walden Surfboards team rider Brendan White

Brendan White 2009

Congratulations to veteran Walden team rider Brendan White who placed third at this weeks PLA event in Ventura. Brendan 29, from San Clemente has been surfing since the age of 5 and had been with Walden Surfboards since the age of 9.

Brendan is the 2004 US open longboard champion, 2000 PSTA US professional Longboard champion and 1995/1996 NSSA National champion. Brendan's surf's his Walden super light EPS 9'0 ( 19 x 22 1/2 x 14 x 2 3/4) magic model on small waves. " This is a great everyday board that is extremely fast in small & slow waves"

On 3ft+ waves Brendan also surfs a super light EPS 9'0 magic model that is a little thinner. ( 9'0 x 19 x 22 x 13 1/4 x 2 1/2). Brendan says " this board being narrower and thinner is able to perform a little better in waves that are not lacking speed"

Steve and Brendan have worked very close together over the years building Brendan's quiver, Brendan still comes up to the shop in Ventura to work with Steve on new boards. Brendan's style..Steve says "Brendan is a very stylish, smooth surfer, yet still able to pull off power moves. Brendan is also one of the best noseriders around!

Look for more information about Brendan on our website soon.

Walden Wahine blog

Our Walden Surfboards blog is fairly new but we have already had some e-mails from the Walden girls asking for more information, stories, pictures for all the surfer girls. We decided to make a blog just for the girls which is http://www.waldenwahine.blogspot.com/

Our Walden Wahine surfboards are made especially for women so we decided the blog should be too. (We know some of you guys will be peaking in on the Walden Wahine blog we hope you do)

Best use of Walden Surfboard stickers

One of youngest and most loyal fans, Sam sent us some new pictures of his skateboard which he covered in Walden Stickers. Sam told us he doesn't live near the beach so he doesn't surf yet but lives to skate. He asked us to please consider making Walden Skateboards..not a bad idea Sam.

Thanks to Sam for sending us these cool pictures, we are sending Sam a Walden T-shirt

A recent letter from Walden rider Niv B. about our Retro Wing swallow tail

Dear Steve,
My name is Niv, I bought at the end of last year a retro wing swallow tail from you and took it to my place in Costa Rica. Just wanted to let you know that the surfboard is the best I ever had and is perfect at all conditions so thank you soooooo much.
All the best,
Niv
