Geiselman Grabs 2nd at Aussie Open

Neff Surf Team Rider Evan Geiselman (New Smyrna Beach, FL), 18, finished runner-up at the inaugural ASP 6-Star Australian Open of Surfing, marking a stellar result for the start of the young Floridian's campaign on the men's ASP World Ranking.

Geiselman, 2010 ASP North America Pro Junior Series Champion, is beginning to establish himself as a serious up-and-coming international threat and was nearly unstoppable in the Manly beachbreak conditions. The goofy-footer fell just short of his first major international victory when he fell to Australian Matt Banting (AUS), 17, in an extremely close final but efforts push him to No. 12 on the men's ASP World Ranking.

Check out these highlights from the event:

A Quickie with Andrew Brewer

YoBeat interviews Neff Snow Team Rider Andrew Brewer. Check out some highlights of the interview below. To see the entire interview click here.

From YoBeat:

From Reno rebel to Reno rebel with a few extra dollars in his pocket, Andrew Brewer has blazed his own path to pro status. He basically lives with the COMUNE kids but rides for Neff and Matix, he dresses like an American badass but rides for Technine. Basically, Brewer has let talent and passion lead the charge, and after a couple of good years in front of the camera, this good times hellion is finally starting to make waves. When news broke that Arnette turned Brewer pro, we called him, his Team Manager and anyone around him to get a Quickie in before the rest of the world could lay a finger on him.
