Regarding Sponsorship
I write this letter on behalf of Mark McCarthy.
WHY MARK McCARTHY?Mark McCarthy is an up and coming professional sportsman.
His sport, body boarding. At the age of 25, Mark has been competing competitively for the past 9 years. After attacking the South African circuit, he now competes internationally,
where he continues to impress, with outstanding wave knowledge and cool headedness.
HOW HAS HE PROVED HIMSELF?He started making headlines immediately after his first
Hawaiian season. Coming second at his first international event against the worlds best at the Maui Pro, 2007.
2007 and the first leg of the men’s body boarding world tour kicked off at the infamous Shark Island, just south of Sydney.
The Human Cronulla Shark Island challenge is one of the most coveted events in the calendar. Risking life and limb, these
men take on one of nature’s most epic and dangerous waves. Coming up all the way from round one, he yet again
astonished all onlookers with an astounding second place. Beating 9 times world champion and body boarding legend
Mike Stewart and not to mention the current World champion Jeff Hubbard.
He’s been making headlines ever since, with local and international papers, magazines and internet sites.
WHY SHOULD YOU SPONSOR HIM? Mike Stewart ( 9 times world champion) has already
recognized Mark’s huge potential as a talented, driven and skilled body boarder, whose sheer flair has launched him
to great success. Compiled with his kindness, patience and positive attitude towards his fans, friends, the industry and
fellow body boarders he has all the raw ingredients needed for a superb role model.
Mike felt confident, as should you in signing Mark as a healthy, positive, talented, title winning athlete. He is already under
sponsorship with LIZZRD International.Use Mark and advertise through him, to reach the young, vibrant, and sporty individuals of today’s energetic, fuel
driven, adrenaline seeking, outdoor loving lifestyle.
WHY BODYBOARDING?Body boarding is as popular now as the once all dominating surf
industry, with a huge and loyal fan base that reaches all segments of the population. Young and old, train hard, eat
healthily and push the limits every day, for the sheer love of it or for some, dreaming one day of being crowned the next world
champ. Take advantage and visually grab the attentions of millions.
Advertise strikingly. Be unique and be noticed by your audience through media such as international/national magazines, news papers, T.V., internet and of course at the events and training grounds, where thousands of dedicated fans travel to, to bare
witness to the excitement body boarding offers. We are looking for enthused Sponsors with unique, abstract
