Tia Blanco and Roberta Mancino have been tapped to have authenticated signed trading cards for the elite Goodwin Champions by Upper Deck series. Every year Upper Deck identifies athletes who have met great accomplishments and create a commemorative series of cards. The cards are hand signed by the athletes and contain a swatch of fabric used in competition from the athlete.
For this series, Roberta donated a T-shirt from a skydiving competition and Tia gave a singlet from her ISA competition.
The cards will be out towards the end of the year.
Tia Blanco is the first female to release a signature board for Sector 9. Her board is a hybrid cruiser meant to take you down to the beach or enjoy a concrete shred on flat days. The board is now available on the Sector 9 website or in select retailers. 
Tia Blanco has re-signed with long time sponsor Sticky Bumps for two more years. Tia will be exclusive with SB for wax, board bags, traction and leashes. Tia also has a signature vegan candle with the company which you can purchase HERE.
Coming off the success of What The Health Film, the vegan movement has attached itself to Tia Blanco and her story. Tia will be featured in The Game Changers, along with other vegan athletes, which premieres this week at the Sundance Film Festival. The film covers the phenomenon of vegan athletes and the myth of meat being essential to a healthy athlete’s diet. Executive Produced by James Cameron, Tia joins the likes of Arnold Schwarzennegger and former MMA fighter James Wilkes.
