The 48th annual ECSC went off this year. Over 100,000 people ventured their way to the beach to see some of the best Action Sports athletes show off their skills. ELECTRIC blasted the beach with 4 Wins in surfing, a killer party that kicked off the 5 days of pure fun, and tons of free hats and swag at the Village tent.
A big shout out goes to Jairo Perez for taking the trifecta with 3 different division wins. Quincy Davis won the Pro Women’s division and also placed 2nd in the Jr Women’s. Other notables were Andrew Doheny, Mikey Ciarmella, and Kim Diggs who all made finals as well. Check below for the results.
Thursday night was the ELECTRIC “Orange Crushing It” party at Waterman’s. You had to get there early because it filled up fast with locals, pro surfers, and the ELECTRIC family.

A SURF BLOG BY SOL BAILEY | DAWN SLEEPERS & SUNSET CREEPERS
Pretty sure I’m the most excited Grom right now. Hanging and surfing with all the Electric boys this week has been so cool. Surfing with Ry and Craig has got me so amped to try new tricks and push my surfing to the next level.
I got up super early this morning, I think it was around 5am and took the ski over to surf Illuka with Warto. We scored some sick barrels with only 4 other guys out. We got home about 8am for some breakfast and woke the crew up to let them know the waves were pumping.
Not sure if anyone has talked about the house Electric rented us yet, but I think it’s the sickest house I’ve ever stayed in. It’s straight across from the beach over looking a break called Pippies, meaning we don’t have to go anywhere to check the conditions.
Thanks for checking out my blog and make sure you get the December issue of Tracks, cause we going to have a surf movie from our trip on the cover.

Here I am, on my first trip with Electric since joining the team at the beginning of this year. Sickest crew to hang with and surfing with every-one has been blowing my mind. Rasta’s surfing is off the hook, are you for real how good this guy surfs.
Our day started with yet another sleep-in hahahaha, we’re all useless at getting up for the early. It’s been a pretty shitty day here a few massive rain showers have hit us through out the day. Ry and I check our favorite wedge Turners at least four times today before hitting it just on dark.
Since we spent most the day hanging around Monkey and Pete thought we should best get out and experience some of the local town attractions. So a few rounds of lawn bowls, with some cold beers it was at the local bowls club. I was pretty bad to start with but ended up smoking them all……….well I won the first two rounds and beat Hoy.
Dinner is about to be served and the boys are cracking me a cold beer so better hit it. Thanks and make sue you tune in soon for our team video coming out next month with Tracks.

AUG 16TH, 2010 | ELECTRIC’S PERTH SANDLICK TAKES HIS 2ND STRAIGHT VICTORY | SHONAN SUPER KIDS CHALLENGE, JAPAN
The Pro Juniors Final started with current ASP Japan Pro Junior Series Leader Kaito Ohashi (JPN), Perth Standick (AUS), Kento Takahashi (JPN) and Ginji Ishida(JPN).
Takahashi scored high with aerial moves with 7.5 and 5.0 points, but Standlick this week again claims victory – two straight weeks with two excellent scores of 8.25 and 8.10 and a total of 16.35 points for his effort with backhand off the bottom and off the top moves full of commitment to secure high scores by the judges.
“I’m over the moon! It’s been nuts this week but I was very hungry for victory this week,” Standlick said. “Two wins in a row is unbelievable. I was pretty nervous yesterday night that the swell was dropping and may turn flat. Luckily it picked up again today. Sure like to keep this momentum moving and do well in the ASP Star Series coming up later this year.”

A SURF BLOG BY JAMES WOODS | DAWN SLEEPERS & SUNSET CREEPERS
Hey crew we’ve all been here for a few days now and scoring some sick waves. Group plan last night was to get up for the early, but after a few beers last night, followed by a couple of well mixed Bourbons by the man Mr Peter Dodd our early wake-up became a sleep in.
Once the boys became aware the sun was shining and waves were pumping we all adventured over to Iluka. Hoy and I had a hell time up against the break wall, while the rest attacked some wedging lefts down the beach.
It’s insane how much swell this part of the coastline sucks in, as well as the variety of waves. Living just an hour’s drive from here means we come & surf here a lot. Plus the local crew like Laurie, Nav, Walts & Dan Ross are some of the nicest crew to score a surf with.
Time to help out with the BBQ as we just scored some fish from Laurie’s Dad, check ya all soon and hope you enjoy today’s pics.

JULY 31ST – AUG 8TH, 2010 | ELECTRIC DOMINATES AT THE US OPEN OF SURFING | HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA
The 2010 US Open of Surfing has finally come to an end. With over 500,000 people attending, you could say there was a lot of action with surfing, skating, BMX, and many vendors showing their stuff.
ELECTRIC’s team riders surfed well, but in the end it was local talent Brett Simpson taking the $100,000 for the 2nd year in a row.
The action wasn’t exclusive to the beach as there were some great ELECTRIC signings as well. HSS and Jacks hosted these fun-filled times where anyone could meet riders like Dusty Payne, Gabe Kling, Jay Davies, Craig Anderson, Kalani Robb and several more.
If you got there early enough you received an official ELECTRIC “Open” hat along with a signed “10 Year” Poster. Some guests were even lucky enough to receive a fresh pair of ELECTRIC sunglasses, but only if you broke your own on the spot!
Inside the shop, a purchase of a pair of Electric sunglasses gave you a brand new hat. This was a great event and a killer ELECTRIC showing. See you all next year!!

A SURF BLOG BY RY CRAIKE | DAWN SLEEPERS & SUNSET CREEPERS
Well I’ve just arrived in Yamba after a huge trip over from the West. Hard to believe I was surfing 10-foot pits yesterday at the Barri and I’m now here surfing my favorite east coast beachie Turners with all the Electric peeps.
On the drive down we pulled into Byron and picked up our 37 cases of beer thanks to our friends from Carlton and Electric’s has rented us the biggest house in town straight across from the surf, so the week ahead is looking to a good one.
Woody’s just checked the swell forecast and it’s looking to be a sick week of waves down here, so pretty excited to surf my brains out with and hang with all the boys.
Well I’ve got to run as we’re off to shoot my new add with the one and only Steve Baccon. Thanks for checking out the team’s blog and pics from this week’s trip I’m sure their going to be lots of great stuff to come.
Craikey!
