It seems that Movement Mag is out every month now, you dont even have the time to finish reading an issue that the other one’s already coming out ! Peep the trailer for issue 24 here on Youtube. “This issue runs with our first dropknee cover in almost two years, the exact amount of time since our last all-dropknee trip, the next instalment of which happens inside. The heavy wave crews and those who smile at other people’s foolhard-bravery will be suitably appeased with a Shipsterns bonanza starring Dave Winchester, some Sydney crew and a new young face whose proving a local sensation, Charlie Ward. Our pick of the nation’s unsigned talent took the new season’s board models on media trips to various corners of Oz, surfing everything from wedging D’bah to big, ledging Lunas and profiling their rides along the way. On sale now”. Dub’s on the cover by the way with a sweet BSDKFLTRTLK (read: Backside Drop knee floater that looks killer). Yewwww.
Side note one: South African rider Wes Fisher just won the N°6 shark island trials. Congrats’ Wes ! The other riders who qualified for the main event are: Ryan Hardy, Brad Hughes, Chad Jackson, Jones Russell, Michael Chapple, Max Arent, Airam Cabrera (Spain – Canary Islands), Charlie Chaplet (France – Reunion Island). Now get ready to watch the live event here beginning of July !
Side note two: Blogs are cool (not all, most are boring and never updated) but… some are actually of interest, and we noticed that our mate Chad Waldron got himself a blogger thing and uploaded a few cool shots from his daily observations: www.photosfromapocket.blogspot.com
On Chad’s blog proof is that the VS and NMD crews were not all as serious as it seemed during their Bali mission last month. Hardy and Max Arent – Bintang time !

Riptide issue 164 will be out super soon in Oz and wherever you can find it. It’s got a sick Trent Mitchell barrel on the cover (self teaken shot) on the Gold Coast’s Superbank. Inside you’ll find a Ryan Hardy interview, a massive shooting gallery, a scary Brendan Newton feature “Brendan’s Tales of Lunacy”, a “Ten troubled Teens and Twenty somethings” article, and last but not least a huge 08 buyer’s guide with 95 boards.
Vert Mag issue 86 has just been released (in Portugal) and will feature some Super Sessions, an exclusive interview with Nick Mesritz and a bunch of unknown soldiers from home. Cover (click here) was taken down south of Portugal…

CRYSIS MAG issue 14 is out in the US and it’s got a Roach cover from Tavarua. Yeah you heard it. We hope the Roach scored in Fiji and has plenty of sick shots to show everyone he’s still the best out there on the knee ! Talking about mags, Bodyboarder Mag issue 8.2 is also out in the US with a sick Botha shot on the cover.

is out… or almost. Anyway, we’re already frothing ! Peep the cover here with a sick shot of Amaury Laverhne by Ben DeCamp. In this issue we have:
How time flies. It feels like only the other day we were pouring over the teenage issues of this mag and hailing the new gen. Now we’re approaching middle years and looking for a new name for this generation as they assume profiles, centre spreads and the heartiest chunks of this mag. We’ve run a joint profile this issue on two young guys at the fore, Thomas Smith and Thomas Robinson. The reason for the double feature is that they represent opposite sides of the emerging scene, one buoyed by competition and a professional approach and the other who loves the sport for its lifestyle and alternative nature. There’s some more Hawaiian gear, photo style and Pipe report, plus a photo trip to South Australia. Our Noise this issue is a Mexican prodigy who’s being groomed for stardom plus we’ve got a story on Joe Clarke, about the need for young dudes to chase their own glory. Aka Lyman fills a DNA profile and the best girls in the world make up our Gang. On shelves now.
Can’t wait to see the mag in the Spongercity mailbox.

Riptide issue 163 is hitting the streets as we sepak. What’s inside ?
“Novacastrian Dallas Singer flies high above a temperate Hawaiian lip for his second Riptide cover !”. “With the help of Kim Feast Rippies has tutored you the art of throwing serious tail” as the issue recap says. There’s also “10-pages of stupefying photo fodder” and an article about the state of DK now: “Is DK dead?” with a Roach interview and more… There’s also late season hawaii shots, and a Pipeline Pro recap.

A-Frame mag issue 5 is out, and it’s as good as it gets, with awesome pictures, articles and Interviews. Props to the A-Frame crew for putting together such a great magazine.

Meanwhile on the travel side of things, we’ve got an epic trip to Central America, a big honkin’ Mexico fiesta, and a voyage to the bottom of the South Pacific. But once again, the main attraction are the 3 epic galleries filled with 200 pages of photographic love.

What’s in this issue ? well here’s the menu:
“Is bodyboarding driving you insane? Riptide’s Tim Leeson speculates on why bodyboarders and the waves they’re tackling just keep getting more and more nuts!”
More about Winny: “In keeping with the Winny theme for issue 162, Riptide probed the newly-found family man on his transition from happy-go-lucky party guy to fully-fledged father.”
The hawaiian winter season: “Have a flick through Rt’s photo feature on how to enjoy yourself when the waves friggan suck on The Rock.”
Some Brendan Newton’s story: “Read your way through Brendan Newton’s absolutely uncanny recount of how he came to be completely stoned at the Stern!”
And last but not least: “Ryan Mattick, Thom Robinson and Frenchy Pierre-Louis Costes team up with Lucky Squirrel Club Director Allan Wilson and Mickey Smith on a search for Irish pits, pints of black ale and the elusive four-leafed clover.”
