Movement Magazine issue 29
Movement Mag issue 29 is now available. Check the cover here and visit the Movement Mag site for more. Ben Player on yet another classy cover, flying above a Chopes’ lip.
Here’s what’s inside (excerpt from the Movement website issue 29 page)
Bodyboarding can gift you many things, and not just the metaphysical; we’re talking the good shit, the tangible shit, the real shit. It might be the result of being marginalised from surfing so like any self-respecting minority group we banded together, built crude homemade weapons and made noisy intonations with the same hotheadedness as Indian student migrants (except we don’t have a country of billions standing behind us).
So nowadays you can book a ticket to Europe and bounce between gracious hosts who are always at the ready to show you around, if not house you. The Elit’ team arrived in Morocco with nothing more than a scrap of paper and some loose assurances given by some other loose acquaintances when they left France. They exited the airport in Casablanca and the Moroccan rep is waiting by his shiny red sports car, the country’s top rider, Adnane Benslimane, is happy to squeeze all four and boards for the eight-hour drive down the coast, his sound system that fills the entire boot is loaded with enough R’n’B to do the drive four times over. It might not always be pretty but it’s always appreciated.
What is becoming an annual feature for this magazine, the Balinese board test, should be one of the hottest tickets of the year. We won’t be surprised if pros start ditching contracts in future years just to land an invite. Seven or eight mostly unsponsored guys posted up in a luxury villa, courtesy of Dean who runs Secret Sumatra, with 28 plastic-wrapped presents and two weeks of scouring the island in search of waves, arak and Scandi babes.
It was Dean who also met Lackey, Hardy and Tom Smith at an isolated airstrip on the island of Sumatra, joining his driver on a fourteen-hour round trip so he could personally greet the guests, loading bags into the four-wheelers that could navigate the mountain towns back to the bodyboarder-owned oasis in the jungle. Perfect right out the front, Blackrock-style left a short drive and all the mod-cons for which a twittering iPhone kid could hope. This spot was little more than a jungle clearing when Hardy first visited in ‘05, discovered a couple of years prior on a surf trip Dean and fellow owner Chris took while they were teaching English in Taiwan. It’s now Hardy’s favourite Indo hang and one he’s been back to three times since.
Jono Bruce recently took a trip to South Australia with Thom Robinson as part of an overdue profile but bodyboarding never gave him much else. As talented as Rawlins in his prime, he drifted on the outskirts for reasons of his own and reasons that weren’t. He still lives on the Sunshine Coast, where we visited him, but isn’t the quiet young kid you might remember. For everything given, just as much gets taken – but remember the real shit.

New Movement Mag website now online

DVD Review - PASTICHE
A great DVD from the creators of SAME BUT DIFFERENT (Claws & Teeth - Dan Nicholls & West Matteeussen) with fresh faces, fresh waves, fresh footage, fresh editing and a lot more. The quality of the footage is really really good with a clean and clear image and not a single pixel of fuzzy stuff. The angles are sick too with a good mix of water footage and land footage and good original filming. There’s quite a bunch of riders in the vid as well as classic “everyone” sections.

New MS Vipers are (almost) here !
The new MS Viper fins will hit the Oz market in the coming month, and hopefully the rest of the world ASAP ! Check the pictures here, and also here.
The following press release was waiting in our mail box today:
MS VIPER FIN TO HIT AUSTRALIAN MARKET
GOLD COAST, QLD – Science is proud to announce the release of the MS VIPER fin to the Australian market, the new fin designed by Mike Stewart will be hitting stores Mid August.
We are extremely excited to be releasing the new MS VIPER fin to the Australian market. The fin market has been flooded with angled blade fins for years now and we believe that it is time for change
“MS Vipers are a shorter, wider design that incorporates a delta tail, a design which I have found to be very effective at enhancing control yet minimizing drag and loss of speed. The sidewalls are more beveled like a bodyboard and less vertical, which also enhances control. They have over three square inches of drainage for the foot pocket, the most drainage of any fin on the market, which work great to eliminate any sand or pebbles. They also feature a “rivet grip” pattern on the bottom of the fins that is designed not to snag onto coral or sharp objects, Mike Said.”
“ Mike Continued, Material wise they are similar to the original Vipers; they float and use the best natural rubber available. Natural rubber is a lot more environmentally friendly. Shape wise; there similarity to Vipers is they are symmetrical and shaped out of pure function. But that’s where the similarities end.”
Look out for the all-new MS VIPER fins at your local store in the coming months
A new website for Riptide Magazine
Riptide Mag has revamped their website. Riptidemag.com.au. It’s better and easier to navigate than before, it looks like a classic blog more or less. We love Riptide and have been subscribing to the mag and reading it forever but we have to confess that we werent big fans of the previous Riptide website and althought this new site is better we’re sorry to say that it could have been revamped in a better way. Colors ? Ergonomy ? Navigation ? Origininality ? Design ? We’re sorry but we had to say it.
