Photographic evidence shows that once again Chris Abad was back to his old dirty tricks. He has been caught surfing naked several different occasions, but never in the middle of winter. There has also never been a photo of this event. We chose this photo of him because the water distorts the view. The other photos came out pretty nasty

The first pics of the Chemistry Drinking Team have arrived. As usual the team gathered during the Surf Expo in Orlando at Hooters. The team enjoyed endless amounts ice cold beverages as well as conversation. Standout players were C. Abad, Meatface, S. Holloway, C. Reyna, M. Walicki, and B. Bourgeois. These men were able stare adversity in the face and not show an ounce of fear. With this in mind, their chances of making the all-star team are almost guaranteed. *Drinking in no way enhances your surfing ability and isn't advised unless you're 21

Here are a few photos from the Chemistry booth at Surf Expo, Jan. 11-14 in Orlando, Fl. After weeks of preparing it finally came together and turned out to be a great show. As always the drinking team was in full effect after 4:00 pm, and more pics are to come of their adventures. For those of you who couldn't make it to the show this year, we hope to see you next year!

Rumson, New Jersey's own PJ Raia just returned from Puerto Rico where he shot photos for Mundo Rad magazine's Grom Zone section with Chad Oakley. He also is scheduled to be featured in LineUp magazine as well as Garden State Surf. Not spending too much time back at home, he is set to return to Puerto Rico on Feb. 2 with Bare Wire's Adam Holloway to escape the frigid north and get more shots. PJ just turned 13 yrs old and is the youngest of the Chemistry Crew.  He has been really excited about his boards and we look forward to helping PJ in the future.



Nice turn for a little guy from Jersey! photo: Oakley

Chemistry's Cheyne Magnusson has been quite the busy bee lately but, he somehow found time to fit in an interview. He sat down with the Hawaiian surf magazine, Freesurf, and talked about growing up in Maui. For those not familiar with Cheyne's upbringing, this interview provides a little insight. From his introduction to surfing by his grandmother to his efforts in bringing a skatepark to Maui's westside, the article gives us an idea of how motivated Cheyne is. Try to pick up a copy if possible (Vol.4, Number. 1). If not, you're a haole.

Be sure not to miss Chemistry team rider Cheyne Magnusson on MTV's new reality show Maui Fever. The show is premeiring tomorrow Jan. 17 at 10:30 P.M. Cheyne has been in California the past week recording a bunch of radio promo spots and hanging with his family. We got a chance to check out the sneak peak episode and it was pretty classic. Dont forget!!

Chemistry's Cheyne Magnusson, Chris Abad, Jason Bennett, and friends enjoyed a night out at the local Oceanside Hooters. Cheyne was in town visiting his dad for the holidays. We were able to steal him away from his family for a while to enjoy a couple pitchers and laughs. He talked about his boards as well as his upcoming show on MTV. The latest update is the show is now called "Maui" Fever, and the premier has been pushed forward to Jan. 17th @ 10:30 PM. Apparently the MTV execs were so stoked on the footage they wanted it out as soon as possible. Tune in to see the commercials and dont miss the show this month. It should be pretty classic.
