Riptide 175 – Out now

Riptide 175 is out now, it’s the readers poll issue with PLC on the cover, in WA shot by Calum McCauley. Such a nice shot!

There’s more than just the readers poll in it with Hawaii stuff, an article called “Pieces of the people we love”, another article called “The navigators” featuring Ash Bryant, Cade Sharp, Dave Winchester, Jose Marquina and Joe Clarke somewhere in the Pacific, and much more. Looks like another good issue!

All laid out in a new sexy design, which is sure to get your eyeballs all juicy after another thick 140 pages”.

Movement Mag 32 with THRASH’D now available

Movement Mag Issue 32 is now available and it comes with the new Todd Barnes DVD: THRASH’D – Awesome !

A note on the cover: A Pipeline barrel of any magnitude is still a Pipeline barrel, but a covershot must also be a covershot. What we aim to reason is that Tom Rigby’s metallic pipe cut perfectly to our cover needs and complemented our cover mount, Thrash’d.

Excerpt from the Movement Mag website:
The back-to-uni, Christmas in March, Government rebate issue comes with 112 pages of bodyboarding barbiturate and the full length Thrash’d DVD, produced by our own avant-gardist Mr Todd Barnes, pinned to the cover. On the glossies you’ll find insiders’ scoops from Hollywood (or Hawaii. One of the two, hard as they are to tell apart), a photo-essay from Hubb’s childhood compound on Kauai, a diatribe on discovery and an investigation into the unstoppable rise of Canary Islands bodyboarding.

Sixty40 issue 10 out now

South African mag Sixty40 Issue 10 – Over the Horizon – Is available now.

Here is the link to the video teaser for that issue:
http://www.sixty40.co.za/video-115-sixty40-mag-10-teaser—over-the-horizon

Here a short excerpt from the mag:

Underground Saffa charger, Beyers van der Merwe, bags the cover of sixty40 issue 10 with a hell drop at South Africa’s latest gem, The Devils Horn.
A closely guarded secret, The Devils Horn, has been making waves in the bodyboarding community worldwide since its discovery became public and judging by the cover is it any wonder?
“Devils Horn is the epitome of heavy waves in South Africa. The Horn gurgles, steps and mutates. You never know what you’re gonna get. It’s beautiful yet scary to behold”, commented Beyers on the cover.
Inside issue 10 readers can catch up with Ozzie hell men Glen Thurston, Chris James and Adam Leuhman as they pull in for a piece of the action. Current SA Pro and DK Champ, Sacha Specker, took the boys on a whirlwind tour of South Africa’s coast, including a trip to the fabled Devils Horn where they scored solid bombs on the day the cover shot was taken.
From cover to cover Issue 10 is jam packed with interesting interviews, travel features, festival reviews, industry news and the all important dose of “eye candy” in the gallery section, which includes the best shots of the past few months.
