15 years of VERT Magazine in Portugal! It was a get together of the portuguese bodyboarding that VERT produced on the 21st of March. The 15th anniversary party of VERT went down on a big disco club called The LOFT, in Lisbon (Portugal) and attendence was amazing with 1.500+ people. The party had a slow start (typical in Europe where the night usually starts at about 02:00 AM), but in the end it was fucking crowded! Along with the party some dynamics were held: they did a poll for the next cover, delivered some awards for the winners of the Readers Poll 2008 and screened three new trailers of portuguese movies (Familia, Diário Viagem and The Dream).
Check a video from the big night here.

Oz ripper Max Arent now rides for No6 bodyboards and Limited Edition fins.
Max says: “A new deal has just been sealed between myself and No. 6 bodyboards + Limited Edition Fins starting this April 1st. It was a tough decision leaving NMD and Stealth but I did feel it was time to move on and No. 6/ Limited Editions proposal was too good not to sign! I will now be the number one rider of No. 6 and I will be involved with film team trips of Limited Edition team with Griz, Lackey and Pence etc which will be fun. No. 6 are also releasing my own No. 6 MAX Signature model in the coming couple of months which from what i’ve seen of the samples looks freaking awesome. I will be able to release photo’s of the samples in the next week, so stay on it”.
Check a short clip from Limited Edition saying hello to Max here.

Another absolutely amazing issue. We eventually received our copy as you can see. Serious design skills and a real pro approach to journalism and our sport in general with just the right dose or arty layouts and balance between texts and photography. We enjoyed reading the Dre interview yesterday and we’ve kept a couple articles to read today hehe. Yeah reading Movement mag is always a pleasure!
In this issue you’ll find some sick hawaii shots, the Dre interview, a nude chick, amazing shots from around the globe, kids in samoa (future trading kiddos), and some huge WA nuggets-shaped barrel.

We just got some good news from our mate Clayton at DKS to start the 09 season. Here’s the latest from DKS:
“Hi DKS supporters,
Welcome to the 09 season. It certainly started off with a bang at the Pipe contest with some great waves and DK riding. It was good to see Kainoa back in the water and hangin with the DK crew. Congrats to current DKS Champ Bud Miyamoto for collecting his 3rd straight Pipe Crown in fine style edging out Dubb in a close final. Also here in Oz we just started the Aussie Pro Tour and State Rounds at DBah on the Gold Coast where DKS rider Dane Pope cleaned up both State and Pro divisions killing it in the solid waves on finals day.
Attached is the entry form for this years contests here in Australia. Again there are 2 events planned for this year, DKS Tiona Park and DKS Port Mac, both events are presented by Sundowner Holidays. The entry form has not yet hit any websites and are exclusive for the riders and supporters at this stage.
Accommodation specials will be advertised in the coming weeks as our new DKS website takes shape and should be released soon. The more people that support us and book accommodation at the Sundowner Holiday Parks, the more we can recieve in return, so please help support our sponsors. Please also take note of the NEW postal address for entries to be posted to.
Thats it for now but more info will be coming shortly.
Thanks,
DROPKNEE SESSIONS”

What’s Little Weeds you gonna ask ? “Little Weeds is three a series of three five-to-six week heats. It’s an online competition where you create a profile and upload photos and video of yourself. Those entries are then voted on by the public. There are five categories: modelling, surfing, writing, photography and videography. The three winners of the three heats (ultimately chosen by mentors after considering all votes and comments) of all five categories will be flown to an undisclosed location in July to compete against other Little Weeds. From here (and sponsorship proposals willing), we’ll take all five winners to another undisclosed location (okay, Bali) and create an entire issue of Stab (or Spit x Stab) on-location created by and featuring Little Weeds winners”. Read more here if you wish.
So Chad has entered the competition in the videography category. Check his profile here to read more about Chad and watch a cople clips edited by Chad. We hope Chad’s gonna win that thing coz he fuckin’ deserves it.
Surfing seriously needs some good film makers and creative people and Chad is one of them. When you watch bbing videos like the Nofriends series, the Waldrons vids, Todd Barnes vids or Bryce Thurston’s vids you can clearly see how much talent there is in the bbing community. Is there more talent where money’s not involved ? Pretty much all bbing movie makers made all their vids for the love of it. We’ve also seen great talents in the longboarding/alternative crafts/fishs/eggs/singlefins/arty stuff like Seaworthy, Thread, Sprout etc. in the last couple years but we havent seen too many new talents in shortboard movies. Seriously. Let’s hope the Little Weeds comp will bring cool new people in the limelight !
Go vote for Chad right now ! Vote here – click Stab Up on the side of his profile ! Check his profile here.
