Monday Mixtape: Cody Thompson's King of the Peak Playlist

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:00:00 GMT

Floridian Cody Thompson has racked-up some pretty estimable honors in his short professional surfing career, most notably a win at Sebastian Inlet’s King of the Peak, a feat he shares with past winners Kelly Slater and C.J. Hobgood. With his tube skills and fondness for airs, Cody’s style translates well to today’s digital surf celluloid, which earned him a slot in the last Innersection video. The Sunshine State regular-footer is considered to be among the best talent emerging out of the Florida surf scene. When home and not in the tube or the air, Cody holds it down as DJ Code Red, bringing locals to their feet with his house beats. Can you feel it? Cody Thompson’s King of the Peak Playlist is now modulating to your dome featuring tracks by Talking Heads, Justice, Neon Indian and more. Turn on, tune out, drop in.

Cody Thompson Qualifies 3rd in East Coast heavy Fall Round of Innersection

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:05:26 GMT

So what if Cody only had ONE left-hander in his entire Innersection video entry? He still managed to qualify 3rd out of

25 entrants with his eye-of-the-tiger-themed section filled with lofty airs and technical surfing. While he’s out

filming some more lefts for his final edit you can read more on Cody’s Innersection success over here.

ECSC: Come on, Irene!

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 11:11:26 GMT

The SPY crew headed to Virginia Beach, Va., Aug. 22-28, for the 49th Annual East Coast Surfing Championships. Impending Hurricane Irene sped things along for all involved, forcing heats to run from sun-up through sundown. While the SPY crew held it down in the sand, our surf team held it down in the water. Cody Thompson and 2011 NSSA/Surfing American National Champion Parker Coffin, 15, surfed their ways into the quarterfinals of the WQS 4-Star-rated event, with Evan Thompson making it into the semi-finals of the Pro Junior! SPY once again proved to be the crowd pleaser with giveaways and a shooting gallery that attracted thousands of spectators scrambling to get their hands on some SPY booty. In spite of a looming storm threat, our posse decided to hold-off evacuation plans and, instead, partnered with a local watering hole, The Boxx, on a pre-hurricane, over-21 shindig. Cody, aka DJ Code Red, kept the party moving and the shoes shuffling with a body-rocking DJ set that thumped well into the early morning hours. Last call at the Boxx heralded a shift of venues, kicking-off an after-hours soiree where the only rules were no cameras, no stories and no hard feelings. With the final days of the competition canceled due to the hurricane, SPY took the high road (which paralleled the prescribed evacuation route) with heads held high and stomachs turning from the previous night that officially didn’t happen. There’s no doubt that the SPY crew helped out ol’ Irene by doing a little damage of its own…

Spy's Shred For Cred stop #1 Ponce inlet

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 11:32:33 GMT

Shred For Cred is a retail/athlete marketing event held by SPY. The event is a surf contest/ bowling tournament where the winners surf and bowl against SPY surf stars. The overall finalist brings home a pocket filled with cash and some kick ass SPY gear. The winner also gets to bring back a bag full of product to hand off to their store to sell. That's free money to their store, which gives them hero status in the work place. The first stop was Ponce Inlet, FL. The SPY surf stars were Ben Bourgeois aka Benny B and Cody Thompson. The waves were chest high and very rippable. A special thanks goes out to all the loc dogs that let us have our surf contest during a wave starved summer that was blessed with a one day swell during our event. The contest was surfed on retro boards or personal shortboards. If you chose the retro you got an extra 2 points added to your top 2 waves. Whether is was retro's or shortboards, we saw some serious ripping from the surf shop employees. After the contest was done it was off to the local bowling alley where the fried food and beer was plenty and gutter balls were frequent. There were a few ringers in that group. I remember a score of 180 something going down.... It was good times and a lot of laughs at the alley. After 3 games we had our finalists: Thomas Lamprecht 1st place Paul Forand 2nd place Pierce Miller 3rd place Robert Carmichael 4th place Dane Jefferies 5th place We had a little battle of the pros between Benny B and Cody T and it was Cody Thompson that rose to the occasion and took 40 cool ones from my pocket for his surf/bowling skills. Shred For Cred heads to Huntington Beach August 17th!

What do you do when the waves are flat?

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 17:16:59 GMT

Cody Thompson finds way to stay busy when the waves are flat at home in Jax Beach Florida. Skateboarding and wake surfing.... It's almost like cross training for him. "It's better than sitting around and not doing anything... I can practice airs and try a lot more things behind a boat. It's not as fun as surfing but I still do enjoy it."
