Aussie aussie aussie

January 24, 2008 at 11:44 am | Spongercity General, Industry News

Yeah i’m in oz as i write this, getting sun burns on the goldie at the moment, and hoping Sydney will treat me well next week. So far so good, not much waves though. Sorry for lagging on DVD reviews, we’ll add more of those when the oz trip is over. We watched Draw, pretty impressive, as well as “There’s no i” and “Insert name here” which are great vids too.

Talking about oz, oz super star Andrew Lester just signed with Morey Boogieboards, so we read on Movement Mag and Riptide Mag’s blog.

Other than that nothing too crazy this month in the boogie world. Everyone’s waiting for the pipe comp to start in Feb. and we hope hawaii will deliver and riders can start 2008 in good conditions at the banzai pipeline.

5-South Best In The West DK Contest and Industry news

January 12, 2008 at 3:50 pm | Spongercity Contests, General, Industry News

5-SOUTH has its BEST IN THE WEST dk contest going on this week end in South California. Was scheduled in Seaside Reef but will eventeually be held at Ponto. Should be a great contest with heaps of good riders from SoCal, the 805 and more. A crew vs. crew format with probably Roach, Roldan, Vargas and more dk superstars. I’m sure the 5-SOUTH guys will post a video of the contest as soon as it’s over. Can’t wait to watch this !

Talking about DK, note that SCIENCE is releasing a DK board under the name: DK5, here’s a pic we found on the 805 message board. Looks cool but no details about the available size, rail ratio, core and stuff. Also no details about Mike Stewart drop kneeing on it. [smiley goes here, of course]

Note that we’ll release Dot Dot Dash, There is no i, Insert Name here, Happy Days, How To, and Transfer Mag DVD reviews in the upcoming days / weeks and more podcast clips. Movement 21 video teaser is now on the podcast by the way.

We spotted more websites having fun copying our shit, ripping the news off, using the same exact news tags and stuff than us. Not that we’re going paranoid, but you should get your shit together, get a life, stop ripping shit off people and start doing something with your own 2 hands instead of waiting for someone to do it for you and then copy. Karma will get ya !

DVD Review – FACES

January 2, 2008 at 10:08 pm | Spongercity DVD Reviews, Reviews News

If you look closely you’ll see a face profile on the cover of FACES and when you’ll check at the back of the DVD you’ll read:
« Through years of patient waiting games, fun times & recreation a species of vigorous teenagers have grown to manifest their potential in the bodyboarding arena. Travelling in Hawaii and throughout Australia, these juveniles have formed an immense brigade. We like to call them… FACES »

January 2, 2008 at 9:43 pm | Spongercity General News

We wish you the best for 2 thousand 8. Hope you’ll score good waves, cool trips and chicks (or boys if you happen to be a boogie chick).

What’s next ? what’s up for 2008 ? Oh well, we hope we’ll see some crazy stunts in the water, some 720 airs, some kids shredding on the knee, some money in the sport, a nice IBA tour, starting with Hawaii in Feb. 08, some kids killing it, some legends ruling it, some DVDs to kill the time, some nice and clean websites to keep up to date with the latest boogie news, some sick mags to stick cool posters on our walls and read good stuff… mmh and … mmh what’s your call ?
post your comments here, dont be shy kiddos ! i know we’ve got heaps of ozzy kids reading this, Uk kids too, Euro kids too, specially from Portugal, South Americans and US spongers too. Oh yeah we’ve watched our stats this month. hehe.

For 2008, we’ve worked hard, very hard on new projects and stuff and we’ll launch ‘em all within the next couple month.

Cheers from the folks at Spongercity.com
