Damian King Instructional DVD

December 1, 2010 at 9:28 pm | Spongercity Industry, Moving Pictures News

Two-time World Champion Damian King has just released his personal instructional Bodyboarding DVD. Damian covers everything from paddling and ocean safety, all the way through to advanced moves and competition strategies. Kingy advice not only comes from 2 world titles and over 20 years riding, but the best footage from the past 10 years of his Joker series archive to best illustrate the particular tip he is talking about.

The DVD also contains a beginner and advanced stretching routine, which is tailored for Bodyboarding, and preventing injury from the impact certain moves have on your body. “I have been working on the DVD for a while now, and I didn’t want to just slap something together”- King said. Now that it’s finished I am pretty stoked with the final product. It’s starts off with the very basics of Bodyboarding and then progresses into more technical aspects of the sport. I truly believe there are tips in the DVD for anyone who wants to fast track their riding and learn the correct techniques so they can utilize the waves they catch”.

The 50-minute Damian King Instructional DVD will retail for around $25, and be available in stores mid November.

When purchasing a Turbo – Damian King signature model a free copy will be included says Turbo Bodyboards.

Cheese, Chill & Look Straight

November 9, 2010 at 2:49 pm | Spongercity Asia, Links, Moving Pictures News

Just got an email from our buddy Greg M. with this link toward his latest video edit: http://www.vimeo.com/16610762 – Absolutely brilliant editing, lights and shoot. Greg has been making bodyboarding video and editing various clips for ages now and is such a gifted/talented guy. Everything he does is classy and looks ace, from still pics to videos. We wish he had the time to edit a full bodyboarding video, he’d blow your mind soooo bad.

Cheese, Chill & Look Straight is a short video clip mixing the multiple faces and profiles converging in Bali Indonesia. Most of them are unknown folks, artists, surfers, tourists or workers from Indonesia, Japan, South Africa, Porto rico, France, California or Uk. They all were kind enough to give me 5 minutes of their time to say cheese, chill and (try) to look straight… Directing : Gregory Marguerie + Soundtrack : DANGER / 11H30
