shaping up

Everything is starting to fall in place in the “new” newsroom. The NEW Blog newsletter is taking form but we still need our fans to get signed up. Costa announced its cool contributions. This week’s episode is sure to give you chills. Let’s go now!

Made in the shades

Costa caught everyone’s attention with the ad campaign last year that featured sculptures of tarpon, billfish and bass hand built from their own sunglass parts. Costa announced that two of these sculptures have been donated to worthy organizations. The tarpon piece can now be seen on display at the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) in Dania Beach, Florida. The blue marlin sculpture was donated to The Billfish Foundation (TBF) which plans to have the fish on display in its booth at the Miami Boat Show in February. Check out the Costa behind the scenes video on how they built these innovative creations. “See what’s out there.”

Mogan of the Week

That’s not Austin Powers but he’s got the mojo! Our longtime Mogan Maniac, Austin Rouse has been going crazy on the fish in the No Motor Zone. Austin made it difficult to choose between his 39-inch redfish and this gator trout. Good stuff, Austin!

Breaking a sweat,
