REVIVAL PRODUCTIONS AND UB ENTERTAINMENT PARTNER TO PRODUCE 2nd ANNUAL "COAST BODY WASH ULTIMATE BOARDERTM CHAMPIONSHIP"

Award-winning Surf/Skate/Snow Triathalon Featured in The New York Times

 

johnshurke (Snow) Lo Res Small Nashville, TN (May 1, 2009) - Revival Productions and UB Entertainment recently partnered to produce the second annual Ultimate BoarderTM championship. Over 90 extreme sports athletes competed in the weeklong Surf/Skate/Snow triathlon-style competition in Big Bear and Ventura , California to find the individual and team who could conquer the art of surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. The award-winning event, which crowned solo champion Chad Shetler and team champion Team Hosoi, led by legendary skateboarder Christian Hosoi, was featured in The New York Times last week as part of the newspaper's series, "Pushing the Limit."

 

The first-ever challenge of its kind, The Ultimate BoarderTM was created in response to the growing popularity of these sports and aims to promote a healthy lifestyle among young athletes in a positive and competitive environment that grooms role models and sports heroes for our country's next generation. The family-friendly event also included a private screening of the new surf film, "A Fly in the Champagne," a skate clinic with eight-time World Champion skateboarder Andy Macdonald, a kids street skate zone, a reptile petting zoo and other activities.

 

Team and solo competitors contended for the prestigious title of the Ultimate BoarderTM and cash prizes totaling $58,500.00.

 

"Ultimate BoarderTM creator and visionary Tim Hoover and I met at church and had developed a strong friendship prior to becoming producing partners on this unique event," comments Revival Productions president Jeff Atlas, who also produced last year's Ultimate BoarderTM event. "We're looking forward to working together on future Ultimate Boarder events as well as other family-friendly projects." Gabe Garcia (Surf) Lo Res Small

 

"Jeff Atlas was my first and only choice to produce the Ultimate BoarderTM Championship. His integrity, professionalism and experience are second to none," says Ultimate BoarderTM CEO and founder Tim Hoover.

Revival Productions' extraordinary team boasts resumes that read like a "Who's Who" of Hollywood production. With more than 50 years of collective experience in television and special event production in both Hollywood and the faith-based community, their long list of credits includes the Emmy Awards, the Grammy Awards, the American Music Awards, the Super Bowl, HBO comedy specials, network sitcoms, MTV and Nickelodeon series, Presidential nominating conventions and the Olympic Games, just to name a few.

"We're able to leverage our experience and connections in mainstream media for our faith-based clients and cut down on the overhead," says Atlas. "This manifests as a larger percentage of the budget being channeled into the final product."

 

"We realize that the church today is competing for attention with more outside forces than ever. The internet, chat rooms, blogs, video games, endless cable TV stations, and the general busyness of life constantly vie for our time," Atlas continues. "Being Christians ourselves, we are in a unique position to help other believers use the technical and creative talents of Hollywood to elevate and better communicate the message of the Gospel."
