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.”

We have some new features for you guys ! As you might have noticed we slightly re-designed ou sidebar on the right, and now offer more options than before and better options.
First things first, the new features:
Maybe we’re coming too early with this new option and very few of you have a Twitter account but believe us it’s only a matter of time before everyone has a Twitter account and it’s great to keep in touch with people or websites when you’re away from your computer or on trip. You can subscribe to our Twitter feed on your phone for 2 weeks on trip, then stop etc. Too easy. Same with your buddies.
Not convinced yet ? You ask us what’s Twitter ? Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? AND you can receive all Twitter stories on your mobile phone ! Our Twitter feed is here and the Twitter site is here.
And now let’s talk about the updates:
Cheers!

Max just sent us an email and introduced his new Blog/Website to us. It’s called Followmemax.com and is pretty cool. It’s everything about Max, not just bodyboarding but also music, fashion, films, vids etc. As Max explains: “the main idea – the manifesto – behind this website, is giving you, the reader (whoever that may be) a realistic look into the experiences, personality and interests of my own and what are respectably similar to a bunch other of the professional boogy dudes I ride with. Surfing, girls, film, photos, art, cheek, music, lies, fuck you’s, good times, rock and roll… experiences ! Cheeks ! Girls ! Surfing ! Lies ! Rumours ! Waves ! Art ! Music ! Girls ! Lies ! Film ! Quotes ! Girls ! ROCK and ROLL !!!!!!!!!………!!!!!!!!!…….!!!!!!!!!……….!!!!!!!!!
A behind the scenes take on where we really get our kicks. Even more so, how SIMILAR we riders are to you. Your gonna get rude, your gonna get raw, even sometimes contraversial, Owwwww! But always fun : )
Really just feeding you people with, whatever the fuck I feel like.
Bodyboarding is so fucking cool at the moment, so cool, radical and rebellious, some media outlets are even scared to cover it.
So bookmark followmemax.com and through my informative, consistent and what I hope to be entertaining updates, you may just take a little fancy towards this filthy blog”.

We’re launching a new project this week: the Spongercity Wallpaper Co-Lab Project. We’re gonna release new wallpapers starting this month in collaboration with bodyboard brands and photographers around the world to deliver the different computer desktop wallpapers. Something different and maybe more arty than the classic action shot with a logo on it.
The first wallpaper we release this week is one in collaboration with worldwide famous brand VS. No need to introduce VS. Dan Sivess, one of the many talents behind the VS project has kindly collaborated with us on this Spongercity Wallpaper Co-Lab Project and we’re proud to offer this new wallpaper for you to download. It’s available in 10 different screen resolutions including a new iPhone format !!!
What do you reckon ?
Who should we work with for the next one ?
(not that we dont know what we’re doing coz we already have a couple ones in the pipe but if there’s any brand or photographer you think we should work with… let us know !)
