The SPONGERCITY™ x VS™Boards Wallpaper Co-Lab

Tension 11 coming one day ?

January 8, 2009 at 7:43 pm | Spongercity Moving Pictures News

Is Chris White coming with an eleventh Tension video one day ? Maybe…

Here’s what photographer Phil Gallagher says: “Its all just up in the air at the moment but Chris White is considering making Tension 11. Yeah you heard it hear first people and he is thinking about making it all in Peru with the original cast members from his early movies. My sources in WA have been pretty tight lipped about it but if your anywhere near EBB in Perth between 10 am and 5pm this friday Whitey is working in store so go and ask him about it”.

That would be sick !

Update: This happens to be a rumour. Looks like the DVD will not happen. Too bad. We’d have loved it ! hehe

New website for Jeff Hubbard

January 1, 2009 at 10:45 pm | Spongercity Industry News

Jeff Hubbard just re-launched his website with a new domain name: Hubbbodyboarding.com. He uses a nice and clean Wordpress theme called Coldstone. Good looking website now and probably easier for Jeff to tell his stories than the ugly Blogger blog stuff he was using before. Note that Jeff updates his site very often which is cool. Lots of pics and stories.

Hubbbodyboarding.com
