Good news, Nomad is going to release another DVD and it’s Matt Lackey who’s gonna be directing it. Sounds good to us! We’ve nicely copied/pasted the press release we got from Nomad in our email box a couple days ago. It goes like this:
Nomad Bodyboards is proud to announce the production of its new film “ROAM FREE”.
ROAM FREE is an epic project that will follow the lives of the world’s best free surfing bodyboarders as they experience the highs, lows, and adventure of surf exploration.
The film will follow the lifestyle of riders who dedicate their lives to researching surf locations, forecasting swells and then travel beyond the borders of their home town, state, and country in their quest to surf perfect waves. Some of the amazing riders involved in ROAM FREE include Chris James, Damien Martin, Cade Sharp, Matt Lackey, Chase O’Leary, Ewan Donnachie, Alex Halsey, Dylan Lee, Matt Young, and Chris Wilson, along with many others.
ROAM FREE will be directed by Matt Lackey. Lackey, a well respected free surfer himself, has taken on the project as his follow-up to his extremely well received first film, “The Lackey Project”. Assembling a fantastic group of filmers in their own right, including Michael Jennings, Luke Bickley, Ryan Jones, and Nic Barclay, ROAM FREZ will follow riders on location through Japan, Hawaii, Samoa, Indonesia, as well as all corners of Australia including unexplored waves that have previously remained unridden.
We invite you to join the journey. For daily updates of images, news and info on trailers, premieres and release dates, join us on Facebook at:

Edited & filmed by Rob Isambert, third movie of the ‘Ring Of Fire Series’. RING OF FIRE III sets itself above many other DVDs this year with a very wide range of spots, conditions and riders around the globe and a really good editing and soundtrack on top of that. Seriously a must have.
The DVD is full is sick destinations such as Australia, Polynesia, Mexico, California and Hawaii with the best riders riding the best waves and lots of underground rippers as well. The Oz section at nuggan is really cool, the Mexico sections are insane, the wedge section in Cali is all time with Josh Garner showing you how it’s done. The pipe section and polynesia section are all time as well. The soundtrack has a everything from NOFX to M83 and is well chosen. The footage and editing is really good and the video doesnt have any section that suck. It’s great to watch from start to finish, feels a bit like watching a NoFriends video, with a god vibe to it and it makes you wanna pack your stuff and go on trip so bad. The extras are cool too with the Mex and Pipe comps well filmed and great footage from these events.
The highlights are the Mex, Pipe and French Polynesia footage. Oh, also Josh Garner definitely has one of the best style in the water: smooth, precise and explosive. His riding in Mexico and the wedge are good to watch if you wanna learn how to ride well, really well.
