In our Summer 2011 issue we ran a feature story called "A Winter's Tale" that featured some of Rip Curl's international team dipping into the rimy waters of Vancouver Island. Here's a short video from that trip, with Matt Wilkinson, Taylor Knox, Dillon Perillo and Dean Brady testing the new Flash Bomb series at a few of the West Coast's prime reefs. There's some great surfing in this clip, but the one I kept rewinding was the bottom-turn-to-grabbed-fin-blow at 2:31.

Keep your eyes peeled for our Summer 2012 issue, which will include a chance to win a hooded 5/4 Flash Bomb.
