We’re on the road in California and actually couldnt really update the site too often. We missed a couple little news stories but i’m sure we’ll be forgiven because here they are and we even have new ones for you:
- Spencer Skipper officially launched his DENZIEN leashes website the other day. Check it out herea while ago in this post last June. Looks like the leashes are made by XM surf more and it’s good quality for sure..
- The Panic Button released another episode on their cool podcast starring Hardy, Costes, Jackson, Virtue, Honeybone, Backshall, Ormerods, Luehman at the Box (WA). Go here and download / suck / rip / watch it.
- Movement Magazine changed the design of their website.
- Todd Quigley from QCD now has his own little blog. Interesting.
Other than that we (Spongercity) went to ASR the other day in San Diego. Very few bodyboard brands there. We noticed Morey / BZ were there, Catch Surf also (the Tom Morey softboards). We’ll post a couple pics if we have the time to. No good waves in South California during our trip…
We got to see the latest TURBO bodyboards though the other day, while meeting Gregg (owner/manager of the brand). Pretty cool. Good projects coming.
Also got to read Bodyboarder Magazine here in the US (the one with Dave Hubbard on the cover) which is pretty good (better than before we reckon).

Jeff “The flying squirrel” Hubbard will now fly the Churchill’s way, no more Vipers. Looks like it’s official and Churchill fins should even release a Hubb Churchill model in Jan / Feb 2009. Pretty cool.
We got a couple pics from the Softcore DVD premiere in the US and a couple lines from John (the man behind the movie): Big thanks to everyone who turned up and the SOFT CORE premieres this past weekend! There was lots of good times at both of them and a lot of the big wigs in the sport showed up to have some fun. Keep a look out for the vid, coming to stores on Sept 8th!. Picture 1 and Picture 2.

Looks like end of 2008 – Begin of 2009 is gonna be pretty boogie-movie-heavy. There are heaps of trailers popping here and there on the world wide web and we couldn’t help but choose a couple ones to post here, for your viewing pleasure:
- TheClapTheory.com released a second cool trailer for their upcoming movie Softcore.
- Mike and Scotty Carter released a weird but cool teaser for Fire
- Flames Yates released a teaser for his upcoming movie entitled Chicks (the movie we talked about here).
- The Brushed Aside trailer which is pretty damn good. It’s a UK movie by Andrew Course. You gotta watch the trailer. Check Danny Wall getting towed into a beast at the end !

Pretty interesting news today: The Panic Button crew has been working on a new project, but this time it’s a TV project, called SOAK THE SPONGE, which is a soon-to-be-aired show on FuelTV. This is what the Panic crew says about the new project: “We have been very secretive about what we were up to this year but now is the time to spill the beans…Panic Buton is making the WORLDS FIRST bodyboarding tv series SOAK THE SPONGE to be aired on FUEL TV…Initially we will be airing a 10 min pilot and 1 full length episode which will be on air in the coming month…Then we will be beginning to shoot a 6 part series to be aired at the end of next year…I know this is a while to wait but these things take time to be done properly.”
Watch the show teaser here. Brad Hughes and Chad Jackson will be taking the world’s best bodyboarders to their secret locations and find a few new ones on the way to showcase some of the most intense action going down! Sounds pretty good to us ! Can’t wait to watch this!

The Waldron Bros. just posted the news on their website: NMDtv Ep 2.02 with Ryan Hardy is now available on their podcast. Just hit refresh in your itunes podcast tab or if your not cool and haven’t subscribed already click here (it opens iTunes) and subscribe.
The episode is sick. Hardy kills it. For those who dont know what we’re talking about it’s a Ryan Hardy clip from his recent trip in Bali with the NMD and VS crew.
Oh by the way if you happen to be in Europe and more specifically in France at the end of next week while you’re on vacation or on a trip, you will be able to see Ryan Hardy, Winny, PLC and more riders as they all have a little promo stop between their euro contests schedule. Promo will be held at OGM board shop in Capbreton near Hossegor.
