Damian King’s podcast

Damian King has a new Joker podcast with Turbo Bodyboards! Episode 1 is now available here and it’s pretty good and fun to watch.

Official press release:
The reinvention of Damian King – In this profile the double world champ explains why he’s moving his daughter’s birthday, now making finals at will and an administration role’s not for him.

A year ago Damian King’s stocks had plummeted like the rest of the world’s wealth. A late-career form slump combined with a dearth of footage from Port Macquarie could’ve spelt the end of the King’s career. It’s taken a year for the Earth to right itself and once again he is the leading Australian on the World Tour, making finals at will and with a new Joker podcast proving that timeless style will never grow old. In this profile he discusses the reasons behind the reinvention.

Benplayer.com – New website and mind-blowing moving pictures

Ben Player has revamped his website at Benplayer.com and just released an absolutely mind-blowing video clip with Todd Barnes – a 15min. clip, all in HD, of his best waves on film in 2009.

Watch it here: http://www.benplayer.com/

Ben Player – TwoZeroZeroNine

I approached Todd Barnes – editor of the Thrash series – to edit this clip of my best waves from 2009 about six months ago. Todd’s reply was, ‘yeah mate, sweet. It should only take me about 2 weeks to edit.’

I wanted to make a free movie for the public, something that I would look at and make me feel proud.

Six months and about 101 phone calls later Todd had finished the project and when I saw the finished product I realised why it has taken so long. Every wave, every moment and every beat of the song makes me proud.

Hope you like this guys.

Thanks Todd.
