Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 8 March, 2010 : - - Hood River, Ore -- Dakine is pleased to announce the addition of WCT standouts CJ and Damien Hobgood to its international surf team roster. One of the best barrel riders in the world, CJ is embarking on his 12th year of the ASP Dream Tour.  Currently ranked 7th in the world for 2009, CJ began 2010 with a surprise entry and subsequent win of the World Qualifying Series 6-Star PRIME Hang Loose Pro in Brazil.
