Jetty Signs Longtime East Coast Pro Randy Townsend
Last week, New Jersey-based, grassroots apparel brand, Jetty, signed professional surfer, Randy Townsend of Surf City, NJ (Long Beach Island) as an athlete and team manager. Jetty and Townsend entered into a 3-year agreement.
Townsend has competed in professional events for the past eight years and helped put Long Beach Island on the map of the surf world. He is one of two New Jersey surfers to have ever won a WQS event (Unsound Pro, 2002) and recently placed 3rd in the 2007 Garden State Grudge Match. He has appeared in Surfing, Transworld Surf, and is a regular in Eastern Surf Magazine and Surfline.
The Jetty family and Townsend worked out the details while surfing the Typhoon Lagoon wave pool before the Surf Expo tradeshow in Orlando, Florida last month. The session proved to be no different then surfing LBI with their hometown friend. “He kills it,” says Jetty co-owner Jeremy DeFilippis, “we couldn’t ask for a better guy (or surfer) to represent the Jetty brand.” Townsend’s job will not only be to represent Jetty while traveling the globe, but to manage the growing surf team. Using his industry knowledge and experience, Randy promises to improve the level of surfing and visibility of all Jetty team riders.
