Speaking of New York, Indo Board continued to garner mainstream media attention with our appearance in theWall Street Journal in August. Click here to see the video of the article.

In other news, Indo Board Team Riders have continued their dominance in a variety of sports this summer. Surfers Brett Simpson and Evan Geiselman both won their respective divisions at the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach. Evan won his first ever Junior US Open Title while Brett won the Professional Men's division (and $100,000.00) for the second year in a row.

Congratulations also go out to Indo Team Rider Courtney Conlogue who has had an amazing summer with a second place finish at the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) Billabong Women's Azores Islands Pro followed by a huge win at Cabreiroa Surfing Girls contest in Pantin, Spain. Courtney has now catapulted herself into the No. 3 spot on the ASP Women's World Ranking and is in an excellent position to gain a spot on the 2011 ASP Women's World Championship Tour.

In the world of motocross Indo Team Riders from the Geico/Honda/Factory Connection Pro Race Team have been on fire in the outdoor season. In the 450 Class Brett Metcalfe currently sits in 3rd Place in the overall point standings with only three races remaining. In the 250 (Lites) Class Indo Team Riders occupy 4 of the top 7 spots with Trey Canard in second, Justin Barcia in fifth, Blake Wharton in sixth, and rookie Eli Tomac in seventh.

Letter of the Month

This month's letter might just be the best ever. It comes from Cameron Favreau, a guy that has had his share of adversity in his life but has never let that slow him down.

Hey Hunter, I just wanted to tell you I love this Indo Board. Lisa Pellitier at the The Buddy Pelletier Surfing Foundation gave it to me and told me how you stopped what you were doing and sent them a board for me. I tried the IndoFLO cushion under the deck but after an hour or two I had to try the roller. Now I'm good enough to almost ride the nose and I love it man! I've been using it for about 2 or 3 hours a day and can tell a big difference in my prosthetic leg already. Thank you so much man! You have no idea how much it means to me...
