A new short ‘Last Words’ interview with an ozzie rookie will be online super soon too. So keep wired and check the RSS feed feature (on your right, see the little FEED logos ?) if you want to get all the news thru our RSS/ATOM feed.
Looks like ATOM works better with PC’s and FireFox.

Oh my god! This is what you’ll say as soon as the intro starts. It’s unbelievable how the image quality is good with 16MM film ! It’s clear as cristaline, the colors are amazing, and there’s a different feeling from the digital (DV) footage that is normally used for bodyboarding films. HARDLYFE II is filmed integrally with in 16MM and it makes a big difference. Believe me, you gotta see this. The editing is amazing too (edited by Dave Wilcox) and there isnt a drop of water out of place. Super smooth filming & transitions, a good choice of music, although a few sections are a bit slow with ‘world music’ stuff… 
Ian Stewart always releases good DVD’s and this one is no exception. This is the Volume 1 of LAUNCH DVD Magazine and let me tell you: this a good start ! It’s more or less like a ’standard’ DVD, no really a ‘DVD magazine’ though. It’s really good, with good quality footage, from Chile (really nice), Hawaii, Tahiti (amazing) and Australia. All the big names are in this videos and also all the up and coming kids and rookies (mostly ozzies). The editing is really clean and nice. No ‘arty’ stuff, just good footage & amping action. Bam ! Here you ! a good DVD to get amped just before you go surf !
This is a Spanish DVD, with 100% canarian (yellow island) footage. Mostly locals but also some big names such as Mitch Rawlins & co. Amazing waves and footage, good image quality and highly skilled riders. The guys are doing massive airs over the shallowest spots in the canary islands like it’s just a 2 foot shore break. Massive props ! The only downside (if there is one) is the fact that there is only footage from the canary islands so dont expect to discover any other spots in Europe. All you will see is the best riders on the best waves on yellow bird island !
I hate having to rate the DVDs i review. A lot of guys ask me to put little stars to rate the DVDs so they can be sure that the DVD is good. I understand this but i still havent created the little stars or rating system because i feel and reckon that each video is unique and as good as the quality & content is, there’s a public for each DVD. All DVDs are good to watch. Anyway, i dont know why i’m talking about this. Oh yeah ! I know why : if i had to rate this DVD, i would give it 10 stars on a 5 stars scale. Period. Review done.
Already the 9th No Friends video ! I still remember watching No Friends 1, it feels like it was 2 years ago. Actually it’s been 8 years or something since the first NF video… Ah ! VHS tapes days…
Boogie Nation’s originality comes from the amount of underground rippers and the diversity of waves and spots you can see. So many good riders (hawaiians especially) and so many trips and sessions are featured in the video ! It’s refreshing. Lots of DK rippers in the video, Bud and Dub are killing it on the knee. The famous Dub DK roll is in this DVD and it looks pretty nice. The music matches the video and it’s refreshing as well. The editing and image quality are not the best you can find but the quality of the content is great.
Saturated Thought was a really good surprise, i didnt know what to expect and this new aussie video was actually really good. Mostly Hawaii footage from this past winter on the north shore and a little bit of Oz as well. The really mellow soundtrack and smooth editing fits the awesome water footage and super nice land stuff as well. It’s not a slow-mo shitty wannabe arty video. 
Segregation 2 : the new Chad Stickney DVD. Like Segregation 1, this new release has some pretty cool footage from all around the world, footage of riders you dont get to see in other videos, nice wedge footage plus Cali. and Hawaii stuff. The soundtrack is nice with a little bit of reggae and dub stuff. The only downside would be the editing which ain’t ‘pro’ editing but it’s nothing to worry about since the water footage and land footage is pretty good. Lots of nice DK footage as well. Definitly worth watching
Life is one nice aussie DVD. First thing you’ll notice : the waves are fucken massive in that video and the guys are fucken charging. The music choice is good and fits the crazy footage, specially on that massive right hander in the middle of nowhere with Tau, M. Novy, R. Matic, B. Bayfield, Tyge etc. It’s worth watching the video just for that freakin’ session !
