Here is a couple of photos of Andre posing with Jeff Hubbard's dogs on Super Bowl Sunday. For some reason Andre really likes posing with dogs in his hands for pictures.
On 1/28/08 our east coast rider Ricky Miller scored some pretty sick barrels in North Carolina and our man Goat was on had to get it all on film. Ricky reported that this day the water was 43 degrees and the air was 50, so it was even heavier than you think. Ricky will soon be heading to the North Shore of Oahu along with other Morey riders like, Andre Botha, Alex Bunting and Pyper Lluellen.
Our Morey grom John “BEANS” Porzuczek sent us some frame grabs of himself from the new Ring of Fire 2 video that is coming out this summer. The frame grabs are all from a secret spot in mainland Mexico that the whole San Clemente crew went to last summer.
