European brand SenNoSen got themselves a new logo for 2009. SenNosen is a bodyboarding clothing label hailing from France actually and starting artists collaborations this year to design their tshirts. They just sent us a preview of the first collaboration tee they have:
Designed by artist “Hate”, the “Heart by Hate” tshirt is the first of a couple collaborations the brand will have with different artists. “Hate” is a versatile artist: street art, drawing, painting, music, bodyboarding, skateboarding, surfing…
Another collaboration with Tahitian artist John “Ton” Poileux will be available soon as well. Christmas 08/09 to be more precise. Distribution must be worldwide this year we reckon. We’ll ask Mat D. at SNS for more info.

DUNES is one of the rare wetsuit companies building suits specifically for bodyboarders. (Their website is not up to date so keep on reading the review and ask your local shop for the latest DUNES products coz you wont find anything on their site). They’re sponsoring a couple talented riders… mmmh like Ben Player for example or Dallas Singer and they even released a Player pro-model which looks pretty good. Anyway, we’re reviewing the DUNES GLADIATOR 4×3 BACKZIP royal blue color today. Click below to read the whole review.

Billabong dropped Ryan Hardy from its bodyboard team. We waited until the news was official and until Ryan or Billabong said something about it and confirmed the rumors. Ryan talked about it on the Riptide website. Looks like budget issues forced Billabong to drop one of their bodyboard team riders from the team and Ryan was choosen. This is one sad news for Ryan and for the industry in general, showing how hard it is to be a pro bodyboarder.
Although Ryan will definitely find a new wetty and clothes sponsor we doubt that some brand out there can pay Ryan the same as Billabong did.
New beginnings for Ryan. Ryan is a legend and a true professionnal. We hope he’ll find new sponsors ASAP and keep on ripping til’ he’s the world champ !

It’s one of the sickest drop knee video clip we’ve seen in a long time. We reckon this trip in from last year, there was an article in Movement about the trip.
Anyway you gotta watch this, then grab your dk board and go surf: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=DUqe5t-6nt0. Sickesssttt stuff.
