With four Australian surfers competing on the final day, the dream became reality for Dean Bowen who posted a massive 9.17 in the final minute of the final, Bowen’s win did spoil the party for the local contingent, as three Queenslanders including Chris Friend, Blake Ainsworth (Electric) and Mitch Crews (Electric) were eliminated in the semi-finals and final.

DECEMBER 6TH 2009 | ROCK THE SHOP | MUNICH, GERMANY
Goodstuff, the number one core shop in Munich, served as a great venue for Electric’s last Rock The Shop of the year.
We put up the good old Electric tent in front of the shop and moved the little event itself inside due to the falling temps. It was a nice evening with lots of bavarians( both industry and private) showing up over the course of the evening.
Volcom European Rider and Electric aficionado Alex Schmaltz dropped by as well as Steffi from Vans and her better half, FMX rider Busty Wolter.
The Pleasure crew even showed up to the event with a shopping cart full of their latest issue. Beers were drank, snacks eaten… everyone talked a lot and goodies were given out to whoever bought an Electric snow goggle.
NOVEMBER 12TH 2009 | MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN OFFICIAL OPENING DAY | MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN, CA
Last week was the always-exciting Mammoth Opening Day Kick Off. Electric rolled out the carpet with a deep posse ready for some man-made fiesta snow. Electric teamed up with Volcom and Wave Rave for a JLA Foundation party at Whiskey Creek.
The bar was packed to the fullest and with 15% of the bar total going to the JLA Foundation, everyone was sipping on Grandpas cough syrup like it was going out of style.
The weather was amazing and we were even fortunate enough to have a snow dusting one night. All in all, everyone that went to Mammoth enjoyed good food, lots of cold drinks, and some fun runs in the sunshine.
Electric would like to say thanks to everyone who participated and had a good time with our crew.
Pray for SNOW!!!
NOVEMBER 14TH | “ROCK THE SHOP” WITH BLUE TOMATO | SCHLADMING, AUSTRIA
“Rock The Shop” was rockin’ despite the cold temps Saturday evening. Electric Team Riders Cheryl Maas and Torgein Bergem took 2nds at Pleasure Jam.
Lots of the kids who were in town because of the opening took the chance to get a glimpse of the new goggles.
The free hot wine (as well as a few beers) made the atmosphere really nice for everyone attending.
Blue Tomato put out some fat sacks, so those who were too tired from the day could relax with a few snacks offered by Electric, refilled the energy of the crowd.
While Cheryl was giving interviews all the rest of gang hung out outside with electric riders Thomas Feurstein, Torgeir Bergrem, Philipp Gruber and Michi Stanschitz.
