We got to watch home brew last night, eventually! Super Stoked (Machine) on the DVD! Loved it. Edited by James Kates, filmed by Ryan Mattick and Allan Willson with additionnal titles and artwork by Dav Fox, this DVD is a must have.
The editing is great, punchy, effective and precise, the quality of the images are super good, the angles are original, there are more waves than just nuggans and supers, and the soundtrack is good. What else do you want ?
Oh yeah, the riders, it features Joe Clark, Finlay, Katesy, Putland, T Robinson, Cade Sharp, Sam Bennett, Rigby and more…
The highlights of the video include some remote India perfection, some Blackrock delight, some nuggan stunts, some fun, lots of pleasure and cool titles.
The riders are creative in their ride and having fun and it makes the video breathe and glow. The riding is top notch and the overall feeling you get is that bodyboarding is the coolest thing you can do and it’s damn fun to ride.
Very good DVD to watch before a session to get amped.
Well, that’s it.

Here’s a cool new website for Girls & Boys, made by Girls with mostly Girls content: http://aswelaybodyboarding.wordpress.com
Yeah girls!
Here’s the “About” section on their website:
We would like to welcome you to As We Lay. As the name suggest As we Lay is about life on the boog.
This is about two of Australia’s top female bodyboarders doing what they love. Emma Cobb and Lauren Frost, want to show you their world. The training , the comps, the Free surfing, the traveling, the adventures and all the times in between. What it actually means to be a female bodyboarder in Australia.
Along the way they will introduce you to the Australian girls and keep you up to date with their lives, you will slowly get to know them, and what they get up to both on and off tour!
Emma and Lauren met in 2003, in they Debut year on the Australasian Tour. Their friendship grew strong and has seen them travel throughout the country and overseas competing both nationally and internationally.
Along the way the posse grew bigger with a mix of the older generation and the up and coming girls. Life long friendships have been built on the simple and pure basis of their love of the ocean.
Life as a female Australian Bodyboarder has never been portrayed in a unique way until now. There has been a strong generalisation amongst Australian womens bodyboarding over the last four years. It is our goal to show you the diversity, beauty and feministic side of the individuals who make up this sport in Australia.
We hope you enjoy this site. Take the time to get to know us. Follow us. Ask us questions. You never know one day you might be traveling along side of us.
Enjoy the Journey.
