Ally Sporting Goods Announces Distribution of NMD Stox,VS, and Empire Bodyboards inside the USA!
Orange County, CA (September 11, 2007) - Ally Sporting Goods is proud to announce the launch of Empire, NMD, and VS Bodyboards inside the United States.
NMD STOX
NMD Stox is widely respected as the #1 high-performance Bodyboard brand in the world. NMD Stox is the brainchild of Nick “Mez” Mesritz, one of most influential shapers of the past decade. Mez is intricately involved in each and every NMD product, ensuring only the finest boards make the grade. The NMD Stox Pro Team includes such talents as Ben Player and Dave Winchester. BP is a former world champion and the current World IBA Tour ratings leader. Winny is an explosive talent, pushing the limits in all facets of high performance riding. NMD Stox are constructed from only the finest materials and feature the latest in premium Bodyboard design.
NMD HULL CONCAVE
NMD Stox brings you a totally new concept for 2008 with the NMD Player Concave. A board that incorporates the very best in materials, construction and design now features a concave hull that channels laminar flow along the Surlyn slick bottom. Combined with channels and BP’s signature deck contours, this new concept gives the experienced rider the ultimate blend of speed and control.

TEAM USA
In addition to the NMD Stox arrival in the USA, we are proud to announce the signing of one of mainland America’s top riders, Eddie Solomon. Eddie says about the arrival of NMD Stox to the states “I couldn’t be any happier. I am now riding the best bodyboards in the world hands down! There is no one that can make better boards than Mez and his team!”
INTRODUCING THE VERSUS PROJECT
In 1999, Nick "Mez" Mesritz created NMD Stox. His mission was to design and shape a stock line of bodyboards with a custom board mindset, working with the best riders and best materials to give the modern day rider a truly high performance product.
During his formative years, Mez played a key role in the training of 4 prominent shapers. As an exclusive NMD project, Mez wanted to work with his friends in a capacity that would involve their shaping talents in a one on one’ collaboration with the sports top riders. This Project is VS Bodyboards.
Project 0.1 Mitch Rawlins vs Jarrod Gibson
Mitch Rawlins is a Bodyboarding wunderkind. Freakishly talented from a young age, Mitch was nurtured by the sports former greats and has since gone on to dominate line-ups around the world. His paring with Australian shaping protégé, Jarrod Gibson, has seen the creation of a quiver that sets the standard for performance Bodyboards.
Project 0.3 Ryan Hardy vs Todd Quigley
When you think of technical progression, look no further than Aussie phenom Ryan Hardy. 6 times Riptide Peer Poll winner, Hardballs is the yardstick to which all other riders are measured. Ryan has been at the forefront of high performance Bodyboarding for nearly a decade and has channeled his knowledge, together with the sublime shaping skills of Aussie maestro Todd Quigley, into a range of boards that represents Hardy’s past 10 years at the top.


Ally Sporting Goods also announces the launch of Empire Bodyboards! A new American based company The Empire was created by real bodyboarders who are in control throughout every aspect of the bodyboard company from board design, manufacturing, marketing, and most important quality control where the rider is guaranteed to have the fastest most durable boards available world wide at premium prices.
Empire Bodyboards are tested to precise perfection in all conditions by professional bodyboarders Californian Rusty Friesen, Californian Anthony Savoji, Californian Matt Meyer, Hawaiian Tyler Ching Johnson, and Australian Josh Garner. Each of these riders have their own personal influence on the design of each model bodyboard. Please Click on the the Riders picture below to learn more about them!
