ARNETTE WELCOMES PARKER COFFIN TO GLOBAL SURF TEAM

ENCINITAS, CA – April 4, 2013 – Arnette is stoked to announce that West Coast surf standout, Parker Coffin, has been added to their Global Surf Team roster. One of the new generation of Californian young guns, the 17-year-old Parker is a Santa Barbara local who loves to have fun in the water, but also knows how to make it count when the horn sounds to start his next heat.

“Parker is a great addition to the team. He bucks down when it’s time to compete, but definitely enjoys getting out and free-surfing with his friends. Parker is such a fun loving and creative guy, he fits the Arnette vibe perfectly,” commented Brent Bearden, Arnette Team & Events Manager.

Outside of his competition schedule, Parker has been staying busy filming for projects that will be announced in the coming months. Other companies supporting Parker in his surfing pursuits include Volcom, Channel Islands Surfboards and Accessories, Monster Energy, Sex Wax, Mophie and A Frame surf shop.

“I am super stoked to join the elite crew on the Arnette team. I really look forward to growing with the brand and having a long lasting relationship with these guys,” commented Parker.

Other personalities on the Arnette Global Surf Team include Josh Kerr, Mason Ho, Zeke Lau, Chippa Wilson, Freddy P and Nathan Fletcher.

Watch Parker rip in his new webisode "Strange Brains" released through his clothing sponsor Volcom.

Arnette’s Nathan Fletcher Breaks Records And Wins “Ride of the Year” at the Billabong XXL Awards

The XXL awards took place last Friday at the Grove in Anaheim and featured Arnette surf team member, Nathan Fletcher, who was nominated for “Monster Tube of the Year”, “Surfline Performance of the Year” and the “Ride of the Year” for the massive wave he caught at Teahupoo, Tahiti, in 2011. Nathan made a clean sweep at the XXL, winning all three awards and for the first time in the event’s 12 year history, was the first person to win three awards in one night.

Nathan is a perfect fit for Arnette because he has been doing things his own way his whole life and continues to take surfing to new heights. For more than a decade, Nathan has been leading the charge in progressive surfing and big wave riding, so the recognition he received on Friday was well deserved.

Chippa Wilson finished number 9 on the exposure meter with a very strong editorial coverage in all three major surf publications. Coming on strong at the end of the year was Nathan Fletcher with 3 covers in all three major publications. We could not be happier for these guys and look forward to an even stronger 2012.

ARNETTE WELCOMES NATHAN FLETCHER TO ITS SURF TEAM

FOOTHILL RANCH, CA – December 8, 2011 – Arnette is proud and honored to announce that Nathan Fletcher is joining their family as the latest member of its surf team. Hailing from one of the most notable families in the surf world, Fletcher’s long resume in progressive surfing includes driving the modern aerial movement, mammoth paddle-ins, epic tubes and most recently, receiving the Heavy Water award in the 2011 SURFER Poll.

“I’m stoked to be a part of Arnette now. The whole brand really suits my style and the guys working at Arnette get what I’m about,” commented Fletcher.

Fletcher’s prowess in surf is legendary and he’s well known for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the water, above the lip and through surfboard design. With exploits well documented through YouTube videos, magazine cover shots and the recent SURFER Poll award win, Fletcher continues to influence what is happening in the water. As diverse as he is progressive, Fletcher also holds his own on a skateboard, in the mountains and on a dirt bike.

“Everyone at Arnette is excited to have Nathan as a part of the team. He’s always pushing the limits and his personality fits perfectly with what Arnette is all about,” commented Brent Bearden, Arnette Team & Events Specialist.

In addition to Arnette, Fletcher also rides for Analog, Nixon, Vans and Stretch Surfboards. He joins Arnette’s growing team of wave shredders, including
Mason Ho, Chippa Wilson, and Ford Archbold.
