Le Boogie Issue 9 is out
Le Boogie issue 9 is now available. HB Team rider James Kates on the cover (his first cover) !
Excerpt from the La Boogie Issue 9 presentation by Phil Gallagher:
Keeping it simple was a principle I worked by for a long time. Shoot from the hip, always have a camera ready to capture the unrehearsed. But when my peers began experimenting with gimmicks and gadgets, I found myself introducing lights and poles and radio transmitters to add flair to my work. I lost control. I couldn’t pick up a camera and shoot without trying to enhance my initial ideas. So I toned things down again, I went back to basics and the images satisfied me (most of the time).
Making this issue however, hovering over a south coast reef in a helicopter piloted by a cowboy, I couldn’t help but think that my curiosity has prevailed again as I look for that edge in my work. The results didn’t meet my expectations and the wallet is significantly lighter, but it’s a fresh angle and far from boring. I also collaborated with photographer Jem Cresswell to make a board camera mount, convinced that we would change the game. It failed, nearly breaking the rider and the spirit of all involved. Now it lives beneath some cardboard boxes in the corner of our studio until I can forgive it and retry after a major design overhaul.
There’s a lot of variety in these pages. Panoramic surfscapes on 35mm film via the cult classic Hasselblad Xpan, flamboyant photo-shoots in city hotel rooms and everything in between.
Tomorrow is another day and I know one thing is assured: the simple pleasure of riding a wave can still be enjoyed worldwide, and that is one luxury we can all live with until we inevitably fuck ourselves over. -Phil Gallagher
Le Boogie Issue 9 is out this week Australia wide. Purchase now, subscribe, preview, or get.

PLC wins the Encanto Pro in Puerto Rico + contest recap and more…
French shredder Pierre-Louis “PLC” Costes wins the Encanto Pro ! (Event #7 our of 8 events on the 2011 world tour) today in Puerto Rico ! Congrats PLC ! Well-done !
With this performance PLC has barred Jeff Hubbard from having a go at the crown during the Encanto Pro (Jeff could be the world champ during this event) and Jeff will have to battle his way toward the throne during the last event next month in the Canaries Islands his he wants to have a shot at the title ! PLC can now be the world champ as well since he’s #2 on the world tour rankings, so this is gonna be nuuuuuuts next month ! Final showdown at el Fronton ! Yewwwwww stay tuned for more ! We’ll let you know when to be ready and we might actually move to the Canaries for 10 days during the event and cover this ! Fingers crossed !
In the DK division Dave Hubbard wins the event while Damian King becomes the new DK tour champ ! Congrats to both you guys ! If we’re not wrong Damian is the only guy who has won the DK and Prone world titles ! Versatility !
Side note: Too bad other good dkers cannot make it to these events (Roach, Lackey, Feast, etc.). Had they been able to follow the tour and make a good living out of the sport we would have seen a real good DK scene like we have in the prone division. Appart from Dub who’s skills on the knee are unmatched on tour (and who’s probably THE most versatile rider right now) the other competitors are mostly entering the dk contest because they’re out there anyway for the prone contest. Some are super good (like Kingy and Winny) but the DK events lack some of the other super good dkers. Too bad!
In the womens division Lilly Pollard has won the event and the title race is still on ! Congrats Lilly !
Both Men’s and Women’s World Tour titles will be decided at the final event of each respective tour; the Men’s in the Canary Islands and the Women’s in the Azores. Pierre-Louis Costes has leapfrogged up the rankings to second and 300 points behind tour leader Jeff Hubbard while Pollard’s win has pushed her into third position on the WWT and Aguirre has maintained a 379 points lead on Sousa.
Check the IBA world tour website for more news and vids, no need for us to copy/paste/embed everything here, the IBA has been doing an amazing job this year ! Seriously, once again, thank you guys, bodyboarding has never been so cool to watch and follow during the last 15 to 20 years we reckon.
