Riptide Mag issue 165 will be out next week. It’s the BIG issue. It’s got Rawlins’ massive barrel on the cover as you can see here (same wave as the Movement issue 25 cover we reckon). Here’s what Riptide 165 is all about (from the Riptide website): Riptide 165 hits the newsstands next week and if you’re a subscriber it might even be sittin’ pretty in your hands by this Friday! This issue we’re going BIG with Chris James’s Big Man On Campus feature, our biggest backpack and boardbag guide yet, plus Sean Virtue gives you the low-down on his gig earning the big bucks on oil rigs. But wait there’s still plenty more! Issue 165 is packin’ two massive pullout posters, an Abstract Angles spread and the gargantuan sequence of Mitch Rawlins’s backdoor keg.

On a side note, Movement Mag added their issue 25 podcast episode on their podcast (it’s the Rawlins interview). For some reason we couldnt read the file properly on iTunes… maybe you guys will read it well ? Encoding problems maybe ?

Other side note: The Panic Button has also added a new podcast episode to their Panic Podcast, it’s issue 2.2, featuring PLC, Brad Hugues, Chad Jackson and Amaury Lavherne in West Oz. Pretty sick episode ! Go to Thepanicbutton.com.au to right-click and download it. The link on their iTunes podcast is not the correct one at the moment so you wont be able to get it from iTunes, you can only right-click on their website to download the episode.
