    So who are we?

    The Bandito Posse are a group of uber-atheletes, totally dedicated to the life of riding snow, waves, bikes and livestock. Its numbers have grown over the last few years as more and more have seen the light of the Bandito way of life where long road trips are the norm, surfing 4 degree 1-foot East Coast slop is completely acceptable and turning up for a night out wearing an afro and aviators is highly commendable.

    The original posse have been around for a number of years, after a seventies-cop incident on a rather dodgy Cornish campsite. The numbers have grown over time with new members welcomed into the fold before being lead into the path of wicked waves, tasty trails and fantastic funk. The initiation process is by no means an easy one - many have dared to enter the realms of the Bandito but after long weekends of drinking, surfing and making up stupid games on roadtrips the weak are soon cast to one side.

    The Banditos pursue spiritual enlightenment through many mediums and down many paths. They have carved up slopes in the southern and northern hemispheres, surfed breaks in the Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean and North Sea and ridden trails from Grenada to Glentress. They have ventured into skateparks in various bike and board guises over the years and have even experimented with Satan's own sport - windsurfing. But only once. The Duke is a mean darts player too.

    Due to the highly soulful nature of the Bandito Posse, simplicity is heartily encouraged in all its forms. Single-fin boards are Carlos's wave-riding steed of choice and singlespeed bikes are undoubtedly the soulful choice for the dedicated rider; the Bandito Allstar team was proud to finish terribly in the 2002 and 2003 Singlespeed Nationals. They've also competed in various 24 hour and enduro events, flying the Bandito colours and generally bringing soul, good-vibes and naughty pictures to the event.
