Vert Mag issue 96 available now

VERT Mag, the Portuguese bodyboard magazine, just launched their issue 96 a few days ago. What’s inside ? Well, to make it short, you’ve got A Catarina Sousa Profile / The European leg of the world tour / A feature about style in the sport / A fall+winter Neoprene guide and more…

Check the teaser for this issue, it’s a nice one: http://vert-mag.com/homepage.html.

Stuff to watch ? Yes please !

Alright so for Metal-Hardcore-Screamo fans (if you like Parkway Drive and similar bands you probably wanna watch it… if not, dont watch it!) we filmed BRING ME THE HORIZON live in Paris the other day and dropped the one song we filmed on Vimeo. It’s here for your viewing pleasure / listening pleasure. Although we filmed in HD the quality of a live video during a concert sucks and so does the audio… sorry for this. We should also have filmed a better song but it’s really boring to film during a concert so we only filmed this one. We also understand that this kinda music might sound horrible to most people. You gotta see it live to enjoy it he he. We’ll post another song by A DAY TO REMEMBER who also played that same night.

Bring Me The Horizon – LIVE in Paris

Now, back to bodyboarding: you might have seen it everywhere by the time you read this but we still think we need to talk about it: Riptide Mag will release a DVD called THIS IS AFRICA in its next issue (#173). The film will feature Adam Luehman, Chris James, Glen Thurston and Sacha Specker in South Africa. It’s been filmed by Dan from Claws And Teeth we reckon (one of the man behind the movie “Pastiche”). You can watch a sick trailer for this movie here:

THIS IS AFRICA TEASER (if the video is password-protected then the pass is riptide)

Another bunch of siiiick vids to watch on Vimeo are the FOCUS Prod. videos. It’s made in Réunion Island, the level is impressive to say the least, the editing is good and it’s definitely something you need to watch. Go to the FOCUS Prod page on Vimeo and enjoy: FOCUS Prod. on Vimeo

New Spongercity Limited Edition all black and all white leashes and new tees

That’s right, we just added some new Limited Edition leashes to our range of accessories: All Black LTD leash and all white LTD leash. They’re pretty much the same ones as the colored leashes we released earlier this year but this time the whole urethane and urethane ends are either fully black or fully white. CLASSSSSY ! It’s a trully Limited Edition thing since we only made a very little amount of these. The shipping is still FREE wherever you are. Leashes are 44.99 USD including the free shipping anywhere you are. 44.99 USD equals 30 Euros today and about 48.5 AUD… When you buy a leash the price includes the shipping, you dont pay for anything else.

Also new in the Spongercity range are the colored logo tshirts: We added AQUA, LIME and LEMON colors to the classic RED tees we make. They all made with first class AmericanApparel© tshirts and we’ve kept the price as low as it gets: 19.99 US Dollars. Right now 19.99 USD is about 13.5 euros which is dirty cheap and it’s about 21.5 AUD which is also dirty cheap for aussie people. We accept all currencies on the Spongercity Store even though the prices are in US dollars. Creditcards or Paypal, whatever suits you. Let us know if you have any question. We hope you digg the new colors !

UNITE summer 2009 range

The new UNITE range for summer 09 is out (note that it’s Summer 09 in the southern hemisphere… nothern hemi would say “Winter 09″ range)

Summer 2009 sees us celebrate our fifth anniversary; yep, believe it or not, we’ve been around for five freakin’ years already. Time sure does fly when you’re having fun, but we’re not slowing down for anyone.

Check it out here.

It’s got Boards, Travel Gear & Accessories, Apparel, Riders info, Core/Technical details and stuff and it looks nice and well designed.

Mundaka firing a few weeks ago

Here’s a sick video of one of the best waves in Europe doing its thing: http://vimeo.com/7262165 (only bodyboarders in the video). Absolutely firing, with 5 to 10 feet barrels all the way to the inside of the Mundaka river mouth/sandbar. Sick pits, super hard to keep the rail aligned and hold the face well as you will see in the video. Makes some of the spongers a little sketchy style-wise but if you pay attention you’ll see how powerful the wave is and how hard it is to read those waves and surf them.

There’s another really good video of the same day with standup surfers here: http://www.globalsurf.tv/video.php?id=412. It’s a must see as well.

New horrifying Spongercity caps available on the store

We couldnt resist it and felt like we needed to make this cap. It looked too good not to be made! Yeah we know it looks freakin’… well… freakin’ cheesy or whatever but it looks damn cool to us!

We made a very very limited edition of these and will probably not make them again considering how bad the sales will be for these but we hope you like them!

Yes captain! Let’s go boogie!

Check them here on the Spongercity store or visit the whole store for more styles.
