DVD Review – PURE

April 1, 2011 at 3:12 pm | Spongercity DVD Reviews, General, Reviews News

PURE is a visual project filmed over the past 18 Months on the coastlines of Australia. Filmed and directed by Nic Baclay and featuring: Kim Feast, Mitch Woodland, Brendon Backshall and many others. Sick movie, action-packed and great to get amped before you go surf. The Kim Feast section is perfect for all dk lovers and those north point pits are insane. Definitely a must see !

We dropped french language on Spongercity.com but…

February 22, 2011 at 8:00 pm | Spongercity General, International News

If you read this you probably dont give a sh*t about it, but just in case… we’d like to – at least – make the announcement official:

We recently dropped the french version of Spongercity.com so we’re back to where we started with just english language (yes, Spongercity.com has always been in english before but we translated everything in french as well).

Why did we drop the french version ?
Well, we’ve launched another french website project with a french media website called Bodyboardfrance.org which will now take care of the french news we used to write and publish on Spongercity.com – We basically merged the french stuff we used to post on the Spongercity.com ‘french version’ with what the guys at Bodyboardfrance.org are doing. They concentrate on french stuff, we concentrate on english stuff – everything is easier this way and we have much more time to publish content here on Spongercity.com in english now and work on quality interviews and reviews and stuff. We’re very happy with the way things work now and it’s sick to have more time in our hands to just work on english language and have the guys at Bodyboardfrance.org take over with the french thing.

If by any chance you used to visit the french version of Spongercity.com you can now read heaps of stuff in french language over at Bodyboardfrance.org – BodyboardFrance.org has a massive background in publishing boogie stuff on the web for frenchies, it’s a community site with a huge messageboard for frenchies and french-speaking bbers in general + a media/news website that you can browse thru with daily updates, reviews, industry news, interview etc. pretty much like we do here at Spongercity.com

No changes at all for Spongercity.com in english – we’ll keep on delivering news on a daily basis, we’ll keep on focusing on international news wherever the news come from and we’ll keep on doing what we do, trying to keep the website well designed and as clean and simple as possible. You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and iTunes (thru the Spongercity Podcast) – same as always !

Thanks again to all you guys following us, it’s inspiring to check the stats & visits every now and then and we’re happy to be doing this and publish content on the web for thousands of bbers to enjoy.

Cheers,
Spongercity.com
