To celebrate the new year we decided is was high time to interview Chad and Kane Waldron last week. How is that ?
With the imminent release of the BEN PLAYER PROJECT and its premieres in Australia this January it was the perfect timing to interview movie makers Chad and Kane Waldron.
Just so you know those 2 brothers are behind 80% of all major bodyboarding DVD release since their first movie VAGUE OPPORTUNITIES. Since then they’ve released DENIS, LEROY, INSERT NAME HERE, THERE IS NO I, the BOOM! Podcast and NMDtv episodes, and now the BEN PLAYER PROJECT.
Here’s what the bros have to say about the upcoming BEN PLAYER movie, about filming, editing and making a living out of bodyboarding flicks: CLICK HERE TO READ THE INTERVIEW.

We just dropped THRASH The Movie Teaser on the Spongercity Podcast as well as Movement Mag Issue 26 Teaser coz we forgot to add it last time the mag was about to be released. Issue 27 which is now available is sickkkkk by the way (not the teaser, just the Mag itself). We havent seen the teaser yet for issue 27 anyway.
The THRASH teaser is really good and Movement Mag issue 27 claims that the movie “is the best movie out” ! Can’t wait to review this one !

Our friend Adam from TransitSurf.com just posted a sick interview with West Oz photographer Mike Maxted. There’s also a bunch of really great shots in there too.
Quick intro: “His name synonymous within the surfing and bodyboarding culture of Western Australia and his photographs have graced the pages of both the two major bodyboarding magazines in Australia as well as various standup surfing publications. We take some time out to find out who exactly is Mike Maxted.”

First thing that came to mind while watching HELLO by Lucky Squirrel Club is that the LSC crew had fun travelling and capturing every single moment they had while on trip. The DVD is a mix of Oz, Hawaii and Ireland footage with both a clean and sleek editing mixed with a touch of arty sepia-looking-old-film-super8 kinda footage. Nice lifestyle stuff (not boring) well balanced with good action images from the best. Read the rest of the HELLO DVD Review by clicking the link below.

Love Live Life is the new Boss It Up DVD. Boss It Up is a Portuguese crew of bodyboarders, filming and organizing events in Portugal (such as the FFAT Euro Freak Fest event in portugal with Manny Vargas). This DVD will take you around the world with the Boss It Up crew and all their friends. There are so many good riders from Portugal. We knew that but we were still amazed while watching the DVD. We knew some of the names (the most famous ones) but most riders were totally unknown (for us at least) although all ripped. Click the link below to read the whole review for this DVD.

Movement Mag issue 27 is almost here. Sick cover with Mitch Rawlins flipping over a green lip at South Stradbroke Island, Qld. Australia. Shot by Trent Mitchell. No words yet on what’s inside but the cover is already a good start. Another great issue for sure!
