In The Nest – Episode 5.5 with Jose Marquina – To be watched here: http://vimeo.com/27426197
From Jose & Alex Bunting: Jose was strangely absent from the usual pumping line ups over the past two months of epic swells on the east coast. Travel commitments and a tweaked wrist after a bike crash keeping him in transit lounges or medical waiting rooms. On the coldest day Sydney recorded so far this winter Jose was feeling good to hit the salt again for a quick sesh before his 9-5 grind. 10 hours later he jumped on the novelty wagon to surf Bondi beach of all places in the dark. With an Ice Skating rink laid over Australia’s most recognised sand, stadium floodlights lit up the ice for awkward first daters and school holidays kiddies. The lights conveniently shone straight into a running left rip bowl that a novelty surf was in order and well worth dodging clean up sets and the marine life that lurks beneath in the moonlit hours of the day.

LeBoogie 8 is now available : Check it out here on the LeBoogie site.
Excerpts from the LeBoogie website: You are not ready for the things we are about to show you. There is no way to prepare for any of this. Thousands of big waves and classic tricks and tropical colours that blind. You cannot expect Eppo to tell you about the time Mike Stewart exposed himself in a caravan park. Or Cade Sharp cuddling the very girls he despises. Or a nobody like Caleb Davenport nailing a cover shot and suddenly becoming a somebody. Poisonous snakes are not normal. Graveyards and bottles of wine and bare skin and pure evil is not normal.
And you will gasp. Is this really happening? Is any of this even real?

Funkshen founder/shaper Dave ‘Tully’ Tulloch is proud to announce his collaboration on the 2011/12 Funkshen Bodyboard range with fellow Australian master craftsman/shaper, Glen ‘Ed’ Edwards.
The project is titled “The EAST/WEST Collaboration”, referring to the location of each of the shapers, Tully being based in Perth, Western Australia, and Ed based on the Gold Coast on the East Coast of Australia. The two prominent shapers are highly experienced in producing high performance meticulously crafted custom bodyboards, and this knowledge will serve as the basis for the boards produced for the 2011/12 Funkshen stock range.
Glen Edwards is well known to both the Australian and Global bodyboarding scene through his own custom shaping label, Unknown Customs. As Australia’s longest serving shaper, having been shaping bodyboards for 19 years, Ed has acted as designer/advisor on many of the industry’s leading labels, and shaped customs for many of the world’s elite bodyboarders.
Tully commented on the collaboration:
“Ed and I have been both colleagues and competitive rivals for many years now. I think our collaboration on the new Funkshen board range can only benefit riders of Funkshen bodyboards. Having that competitive nature in the shaping bay pushes the overall progression and evolution of board design. With Ed in the East & me in the West it makes us a truly national brand with representation on both sides of Australia. We understand exactly what Australian riders are looking for and that is reflected in the 2011/12 Funkshen stock model range”.
Tully has also expanded the Funkshen team, with Shaun Pyne, Chris Wilson, Liam Tomkins, Joe Silver, joining Chris White.
