Round Three

amymeredithposter

The Liberteen Ranch is hosting another debaucherous evening in late june – and being the third round for the swish event, it looks like its staying put as a regular gig on the calendar.

This party is going to be pretty similar to the others in the whole art/music aspect. However, but it is also going to be the EP launch party for Sydney Band Amy Meredith, supported by Toecutter and CSK OK –  as well as a number of other DJ’s.

Oh and the art on the night is from elvis di fazio and others…

The Nature of the Language

Who here, has ever stated “I am just going for a surf.” Only to be corrected by a friend, family member or foe “You mean you are going for a Bodyboard.”

Let me tell you this correction is however, incorrect.

There is nothing to correct!

Surfing as we know it is defined as

‘The act of riding waves.’

Therefore it is not discrimantry of how you go about riding these waves.

So next time some schmuck tries playing smart kid by correcting you, body slam them (metaphorically of course) with a dose of definition.

Now for Andre,

André Roussimoff (May 19, 1946 – January 27, 1993), best known as André the Giant, was a French professional wrestler and actor. “The Official Site of André the Giant” claims he was 7′ 4″. His great size was a result of a condition known as acromegaly, and led to him being dubbed “The Eighth Wonder of the World.”

C&T Report: “Withdrawl Symptoms Cleared”

Claws & Teeth

West Aus is currently being punished by swell – with all residents kneeling with godlike affirmation – an exclusive by Claws/Teeth reveals.

“Somebody officially filcked the switch”, tells the fierce beast that is C&T.
The consistent pulses have been framed nicely with the arrival of Pierre Louis and Amaury Laverhne to Margaret River, with more heading over in the next couple of weeks.

The forecast is looking good for a while, so expect to see some good shit from the Claws/Teeh crew coming through within the month. Yeah I know, one month sounds like ages – and it is, but thats how “interwebland” works….so there. 

Lee Sczepanski, Box - Claws & Teeth

In other news, Lee Scdsaidfsaisdfnsdfnski currently celebrated his birthday with some box love..you dirty man! Find it in “Pastiche”, due out later this year from Claws & Teeth.

Graff

Rookies

Graffiti, or Graff, as its known on the streets, has never really interested me. Never have i felt the fiery drive to write my name on a wall/pavement/back-of-a-toilet-door to stick it to the man. All this art hatred towards everything shits me to tears. I don’t even think you could call it art…maybe postmodern art.

But anyway I wakes up to the email ‘ding’ this morning with some NY graff the top agenda of my inbox. It’s from these taggers in the mighty States  who do the boog thing rain/hail/hungover. They’re also our newest bloggin’ brothers with a penchant for tagging.

Check, blog, here.

Interviews: Caesar Petroni


For those of you who missed the NOISE profile in the last issue of MOVEMENT, here’s a (very) shortened Q&A for you to divulge:

Fourteen year-old Caesar Petroni from Mexico is a name currently being whispered within bodyboarding’s elite circles. He’s one of the fortunate few to create his own identity from the Puerto slums he was raised – a place where most futures are paved by statistics.

(Please note that Caesar Petroni was interviewed via email and translated due to his geographical status and the language barrier we faced. I also understand that this is not a profile of a local bodyboarders, but it was too interesting to withhold. I have done two local profiles on the blog if you search around).

How Many Years have you been riding?

I have been in the water since I was one year old. So I guess I have (spent) 13 years in the water.

What do you think about school versus surfing?

Surfing its fine, but school its also very important. I learn a lot in school, which helps me in my daily life and I know it will be good for my future in order to be able to work when I’m older.

Do you see your father as a mentor in your surfing? Does he help you in your bodyboarding?

All my life! Without him I would’ve never learnt how to surf. He shows me videos and we study the riders style, (He) also takes me to surf very early every morning. (We are) always training and he also shoots video of me every time I have a session so we can go back home and see how I did.

Is there anywhere you want to travel to for surfing?

I would love to go to Indo (Indonesia), because I know they have lots of different waves and I know its would be good for my riding style. I would love to go to Pipeline North Shore, Hawaii) as well to get in the crowds and become a stronger better bodyboarder.

Would you prefer to freeride or compete on the tour?

I would love to do both. Freeriding is really good because you get paid to have fun, but comps always test your limits and make you reach a higher level. I really want to get to the top ten in the world. But I have to compete in order to get to that point.

What’s your opinion on the Mexican style of bodyboarding?

I think level in Mex (Mexico) is getting better and better. We have big waves very often so it’s easy to learn how to go big on the moves.

Is there a big future for bodyboarding in Mexico?

I think Mexican bboarders are really good and they could be better, but there’s a single big problem: there’s no economical support for us. Therefore its tough to travel and follow the tour.

Everyones Favourite Guy

Jason Finlay!

His stats boast waves on Video, Visions, Bang Bang and the much anticipated Wayne’s Addiction. This goes without saying a few spreads in Movement, Riptide and other international bodyboarding media.

Currently riding for IAMNONE Jason is definitely one to watch (and yes, that pun was intended).
