Westport Cape Classic 2010

The Westport Cape Classic 2010 is looking good! 20 years of the Cape Classic with $7500 cash and more sponsors product up for grabs. King Kapisi and the Nomad for the after party and T Bay with a nice a-frame bank forming — we are set to go. Get down, over or up to Westport for the best Classic yet!

We have moved!

 We are now at our new shop at 243 Dyers Roan Bromley! We'd just moved half of our stuff when the 7.1 earthquake that struck Christchurch rocked both the new and old buildings — but luckily Seventhwave sustained no damage. Back on track with news and views soon.

Feedback... from Niue!

Thanks for the Titanium Hot Top which arrived in super quick time. I’ve already done a couple of dives with it and its absolutely fantastic. My last Hot Top kept me toasty warm on more than 400 dives and I’m sure this one will see me through my next 400 dives. It's an amazing product and we’ll keep recommending our dive customers get one of their own! Thanks again for the super service.

Follow the tide, not the crowd

Amee Donohoe is living the life. She travels, she surfs and when she misses home she holes up near a secluded beach in her native Australia. Although it’s easy to be jealous of how she rolls, it’s hard to resent her for it—the optimistic and well-thought-out wave rider is as nice as they come. She also genuinely loves travel without ever forgetting to consider the sometimes difficult realities of the people who live in the far flung places that she gets to visit. 

Amee, now 29, has surfed professionally since she was 18. Her skills have kept her ranked among the top ten female surfers in the world for the past five years and in 2007 she was the runner-up for the prestigious Triple Crown. This week, while taking a rest between surf sessions, she spoke to Boostnall.com about her favorite places, where she wants to go next and why she loves life on the road.

Amee Donohoe's new suit

With the Women's World Tour's due to hit the colder waters of Portugal in October, Amee wanted something warm, flexible and bright for her heats. And here's the result: a MAX 3/2 G&S ZB Steamer to match her other red suits. Looking forward to seeing this one in action.
