X-Games 13 will be televised on Aug. 2-5 and is promised to be the best one yet. Chemistry's very own Jason Bennett and Willie Smith were invited to judge the surfing event in Puerto Escondido, Mexico as well as do a ton of surfing of their own. With summer upon us it wasn't an easy task to leave the trenches of the factory during full bore production to go and work at a surf event. It became much easier when we stepped off the plane in to a good sized south swell and exceptional weather. With Wally Puha and Michael Baron taking care of the home front, we began to relax a bit and indulge in the fact that were working a few hours a day and surfing the rest. The event was phenomenal, with waves the entire time and the talent pool off the charts. It wasn't hard to watch or judge, it was actually extremely entertaining. The commissioner of the NSL, Brad Gerlach made a Nostradamus-like claim before the event saying,"This is shaping up to be the best X Games yet." "When the drama unfolds, the surf community is going to get a great show and the top guys will be frothing for a spot on next year's team." We would like to thank everyone involved with the event this year and look forward to next year. Make sure you check out the action this week on ESPN and expn.com.

Chemistry's Cheyne Magnusson is scheduled to appear on Fuel's, "The Daily Habit" this Friday 7/20/07. Cheyne will be talking about his career up until now as well as where he plans to go in the future. He will also be showcasing his Cheyne Magnusson Signature Model from Chemistry Surfboards. Be sure not to miss it, with Cheyne on T.V. it should be an entertaining episode.

Chemistry exposure from the months of June and July 2007

When it came time to celebrate Chemistry's very own Chris Abad's birthday, it was done so in fine form. As always the party involved the closest friends and prettiest girls enjoying themselves in the comfort of Abad's party palace. The beer flowed all night and the dance floor was never empty.  He claims next year is going to be bigger and better. Hopefully the little guy makes it to next year.
