Participants of Red Bull Project Air are welcomed to the camp with a big surprise - a custom made replica of Mark Richards 1978 Pipe Weapon". Personally hand-signed by the former four-time world champ and legend MR, the single-fin replicas are a symbolic, tactile reference to the origins of competitive surfing. But after putting them to the test, the athletes decide that the best place for these special custom-made boards is on their wall.


Borrowing training concepts first proto-typed by snowboarder Shaun White during "Project X", the best of the best, including two-time and reigning Men's World Champion Mick Fanning, Women's World Champion Sofia Mulanovich, Junior World Champions Julian Wilson and Sally Fitzgibbons, along with international stars Jordy Smith and Michel Bourez will be expanding, honing and refining their aerial repertoires with the assistance of professional coaches, pro skateboarders and the use of gymnastic facilities.
