Paddle For Life - The Big Launch

Written by Scott Dickinson on 10 July 2009.

Star of ITV’s “The Bill”, Ben Richards, and long board champion Ben “Skindog” Skinner took to the waves to launch the “Joe Way Paddle for Life”. Ben Richards enjoyed some surf lessons from Europe’s finest and the duo signed one of Skin dog’s concept boards which is a one off never to be made again display board.

“This board was made through our research and development of our new Carbon Rail Technology. We used the highest end materials to make the lightest most high performance board I have ever seen. It is like an F1 racing car. Not made for durability, and was purely made to see how light we could go that turned into a piece of art. When you pick this board up, you will not believe the weight of it. It’s definitely a one off board that is for the wall, and we are glad to see it go to such a worthy cause”.
