You’ve also got Port Macquarie’s Damien King and Jones Russell follow the footsteps on celebrated Aussie explorer Edward John Eyre in a wild, across Oz adventure. There’s a West Coast trip with VS Team Ryan Hardy, Mitch Rawlins and Pierre-Louis Costes. There’s a feature with Dallas Singer talking about “his busy university, bodyboarding and club president schedules”. There’s a Summer wetsuits review as well. And last but not least there’s a Glen “Pencey” Thurston’s gear giveaway.

Riptide Mag issue 165 will be out next week. It’s the BIG issue. It’s got Rawlins’ massive barrel on the cover as you can see here (same wave as the Movement issue 25 cover we reckon). Here’s what Riptide 165 is all about (from the Riptide website): Riptide 165 hits the newsstands next week and if you’re a subscriber it might even be sittin’ pretty in your hands by this Friday! This issue we’re going BIG with Chris James’s Big Man On Campus feature, our biggest backpack and boardbag guide yet, plus Sean Virtue gives you the low-down on his gig earning the big bucks on oil rigs. But wait there’s still plenty more! Issue 165 is packin’ two massive pullout posters, an Abstract Angles spread and the gargantuan sequence of Mitch Rawlins’s backdoor keg.
On a side note, Movement Mag added their issue 25 podcast episode on their podcast (it’s the Rawlins interview). For some reason we couldnt read the file properly on iTunes… maybe you guys will read it well ? Encoding problems maybe ?
Other side note: The Panic Button has also added a new podcast episode to their Panic Podcast, it’s issue 2.2, featuring PLC, Brad Hugues, Chad Jackson and Amaury Lavherne in West Oz. Pretty sick episode ! Go to Thepanicbutton.com.au to right-click and download it. The link on their iTunes podcast is not the correct one at the moment so you wont be able to get it from iTunes, you can only right-click on their website to download the episode.

Movement Mag issue 25 is coming. The cover is EPIC and the editor’s note about the magazine reads like this: If being a great big wave surfer is the ability to stay alive while looking good in the heaviest of situations then Mitch Rawlins must now be considered amongst the best in the world. We’ve always known him as the stylish and innovative freesurfer but ever since a particular Shipsterns session two years ago his heavy wave riding has been as good as anyone’s. His move to WA is now a masterstroke as the tight pack of riders he’s been running with enjoy free reign over the latest big wave discoveries and earn the envy of the surfing world in the process. Click the link where we talked-turkey with Mitch over his latest session. Youtube vid here. And check Movement Mag for more news about the mag and stuff.
It’s the all photo issue and it looks pretty good, we’re waiting for it in our mail box. Check the cover here and download these images, they could do a fine desktop wallpaper we reckon.
Wallpaper 1 – Mitch Rawlins
Wallpaper 2 – Virgin Wave
Wallpaper 3 – Jose Marquina
Wallpaper 4 – Simon Thorton
Enjoy.
