Natasha Overin hails from San Clemente, California. Growing up in a family of watermen her penchant for the water  comes naturally.  Honing her skills at T-Street and Salt Creek , this high school phenom as been dominating the local contest circuit and placing her #1 in the current BIA women’s standings and the crown for 2009 Divisional Women’s champion. Natasha exudes presence in any line up and this year the No.6 utilizes her feedback and development in our new lineup. Natasha has mentored with some of the best So Cal boarders and her line & rail work are some of the cleanest we have seen and gives her the edge in being the forefront of modern technique in women’s riding.  Her plans are to travel and compete amongst the top women in the world. The Six is proud to have this talented force on the development team !

Be warned…Kelly Gordon is not your average femme bodyboarder. Her skills are ten-fold wielding a duality in style prone or DK. This Maui-born free spirit has been known to push herself in all conditions showing no fear from Off the Wall to Honolua Bay where you can hear testament to her developing obsessions. Kelly is currently on the Pro USBA tour and has been a force in the finals on many occasion. Kelly has been known to enter the Men’s divisions at times to build her instinct  for decimating the best breaks in Hawaii. Ms. Gordon has finely crafted details in the new No.6 line and we look forward for Kelly to inspire a whole new wave of progressive women’s riding.

“On Sunday June 6th, Matt Hamilton suffered from a stroke while surfing in his Pro Dropknee semi final of the USBA Huntington Beach Event. He was pulled from the water and taken to Hoag Hospital. There he underwent a six and half hour surgery to clear the blood clot that had taken over the left side of his brain, which had left him completely paralyzed on that side. The removal of the clot was a success and Matt was moved to Hoag’s ICU department. With Matt in the hospital and out of work there is no means of income to pay for the rent on their Dana Point apartment. I encourage anyone and everyone to pray and to let the entire community know of Matt’s unfortunate event.”
