So you already know that Kustom is throwing down US$50,000 for one crazy air in its Kustom Airstrike competition. And you also know that the victor can stomp that winning ride any time from 1 January to 31 August 2010.

Well, in recognition of the unbelievable wave of aerial assaults being launched in both freesurfing sessions and competitions, Kustom is now planning a series of monthly awards in the countdown to the final judging.

The best entry submitted to the Airstrike website each month will pocket $500 and earn bragging rights that they are firming as one of the judges’ favourites.
