Gorkin’s The New King
Congrats to sometimes Catalyst team rider Aaron Cormican for taking out this year’s King of the Peak at Sebastian Inlet. Gorkin ended up winning eight skins to take the win over Jax beach’s Evan Thompson. Along with eight skins worth of prize money ($200 a piece this year….we think), he also pocketed another $3000 for the taking the overall win. Details are still rolling in at this point, so we’ll have more for you tomorrow. In the mean time, here’s a few pics of the red headed step child himself from the event courtesy of Mama G.
Eddie’s E.C. Rider Profile
Our neighbors up the street at Eastern Surf Magazine just recently did a cool little profile on Catalyst team rider Eddie Guilbeau. It’s entitled “E.C. Riders: Eddie Guilbeau” and is definitely worth a look. Eddie’s a freak talent that we’re stoked to have on the team and definitely deserves the recognition.

Yeah Blake!
Yesterday, we posted up a pic of Catalyst team rider Stephen “Special K” Kaltenbach from ESM’s recent web feature Igor-Aphobia: Part II. Well, we totally blew it by not mentioning that Catalyst teamer Blake Jones also scored the shot below in the very same feature. Blake’s even got the sticker placement down for his typical high-flying antics (check the Catalyst diamond between the fins). To see the entire feature, CLICK HERE.
