Searching for Michael Peterson

In 1977, in front of 20,000 people, Michael Peterson beat future four times world champion Mark Richards to win the first event of the surfing world tour. It was his last competition and he was only seen occasionally until 1983 when he was arrested in a 15-car police chase from Coolangatta to Brisbane. He never surfed again and, after years in Boggo Road goal, he was finally diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

Searching for Michael Peterson

"I'm the sort of person that whatever I do, after a while I can do it really well. It doesn't matter what. And it was just that I got into surfing more than anything else and got it down to perfection, and it paid off. It paid off around $17 000."

Alpinestars
Bionic Neck Support CF

Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support CF

Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support CF * Carbon Composite frame to maximize frame stiffness and minimize weight.
* Two different EVA foam densities are used in the BNS: Firmer EVA in the shoulders and softer EVA on the chest and back for comfort.
* Pivot Key system - A special magnesium key located at the rear allows convenient front opening of the device and allows for dismantling in an emergency.
* Fitting System - Fine adjustment of the shoulder height allows a personalized fit particularly for individuals with shorter necks.
* Rear Stabilizer system - In the event of large loads being channeled onto the rear stabilizer (the part that sits on the back) there are several bending and fracture points designed to relieve extreme loads that may be transmitted down the back.
* Collar Bone preservation 1 - All parts in contact with the body use an expanded foam compound to distribute the impact force over the widest area, yet remain lightweight.
* Collar Bone preservation 2 - A frame member runs over the shoulders, eliminating weak points in a critical part of the frame and no metal pins or screws sit directly above the shoulders which could dislodge, causing injury during an accident.
* Choice of Strap Systems - The BNS is supplied with the X-Strap System which allows a small, light strap worn over or under the jersey to secure the device to the rider. The larger A-Strap assembly (available as a separate accessory) provides a traditional chest strap for those who like to wear the protector tight against the body.
* Mounting points - Allow for integration of the BNS with other Alpinestars accessories.

The Bionic Neck Support functions by providing an alternative load path for the energy that compresses the neck. If the helmet is in contact with the BNS at the moment of impact the overall load passing through the neck can be reduced, which may prevent a fracture from occurring.

The BNS reduces the chance of muscular injuries from extreme head movement.

While it is not possible to eliminate the risk of any form of injury, the BNS is designed to help prevent the most serious damage and minimize the risk of collateral injury as the impact load is channeled away from the neck.

When compared to soft neck roll devices, the protection afforded is significantly better since soft devices deform on impact, offering no protection against the damaging compressive forces.

As with any riding equipment, fit is critical to ensuring the most effective protection possible and riders should choose the equipment that is best suited to their body. No neck device should roll around over the shoulders.

"No Fear, Take no prisoners, leave no survivors."

Dragon Eyewear and Quik Pro NY Champion Owen Wright, introduce the Owen Wright Signature Jam Sunglasses.

Drawing inspiration from summers growing up by the ocean, the Owen Wright Signature Jam fuses soothing teal with Owen's own bizarre twist on the creatures of the deep sea. "I wanted to create something that is me... and what I do beyond surfing," Owen said. "The ocean has been such a big part of my life, I basically grew up in it swimming, fishing, and looking around the reefs. When you put these sunnies on you will feel like you are in the ocean."

"Once you're a surfer you're done. It's like the mob or something. You're never getting out."
