"The Flying Machine"

What do you do when you're in Portugal, have a drone that is able to film amazing footage, and have amazing surf hitting the coasts? Well you film it and you put together a clip just like these guys did. Enjoy "The Flying Machine."

Bodyboard Spot: The Wedge

The Wedge is located in Newport, California. It is probably one of the most revered and feared surfing spots in the world because of how massive the waves can get and how shallow this spot is. This spot hosts all wave riders from Skimboards, Body Surfers, Stand-Up Surfers, and Bodyboarders. It is amazing to see how these wave riders put their bodies on the line when it comes to surfing this spot. Below are some clips which demonstrates the power of this wave. The second video is by photographer: Robbie Crawford, find him on Instagram for more awesome wave photos. Enjoy.

DK Wars

With DK Wars Salt Creek coming up on the schdule, we figured we'd share some footage from past DK Wars events to help you get your stoke on. The first clip being the La Jolla DK Wars and the second video clip was from last year's event at Salt Creek. Enjoy!

Stand Up Bodyboard or Super Shortboard

It's interesting to see how the surfing world can come a full circle and still get inspiration from a bodyboard shape to create a surfboard. Well one surf company shop has done that and it's pretty rad to see this happen. Bing Surf is the shop that has done just this. Below is a brief description of the board.

"Speed Square

Inspired by his fond childhood memories on a Mach-77 boogie board, Bing team rider, Chris Del Moro convinced shaper, Matt Calvani to help him recapture the magic in this modern-day twin-finned version called the Speed Square. Because of its short length, Matt added belly in the nose with a quick transition into a hard, tapered rail in the tail so that the board would be quick and responsive. He added a deep straight concave that runs from where your front foot sits through the tail of the board to gain efficiency in glide and maintained thickness in the tail to improve glide and wave-catching ability. The small twin keels maintain a “fin-less” riding quality but still allowing for some control. Ride it short, ride it fast and get ready for a whole lot of fun! "

Surge Magazine Issue 8.0

Trying to get information or the lastest photos on what is going on in the bodyboarding world is tough. We know as fans of this sport we would love to see all the latest photos and clips of your favorite riders. Luckily we still have some companies still willing to put out a magazine and document this great sport, one of them is Surge. The great thing about Surge is that they are an online magazine so their content is available for many to check out. Below is their latest issue.

DAHLIA

Here's a close up look at our Dahlia tee we're releasing for Summer.

The Peoples Champ

One more reason to respect the world champ Jeff Hubbard ---> "We need to give the new bodyboarders some history, as bodyboarding is such a young sport. It’s important to solidify our roots. With print magazines being so slow with new information it seems prudent to focus on the past as well." @jdhubb @hubboards now that's #Aloha #WaveSlideCulture and #SupportOurSport wrapped up into one quote. #mahalo Jeff. We got your back. @bbrmag

Aussies Takeover the USA Pacific NW

Dave Winchester, Chris James, and Jordan Putland come over from the land down under to the Pacific Northwest of the United States to shred these frigid waters and tame the "Yeti". Watch as they shred these slabs and tame the beast. These Aussie came to shred and shred they did. Enjoy "Chasing the Yeti".

Lady Wave Riders

If there's one thing us guys enjoy it's seeing beautiful women at the beach whether it's in the water or just at the shore trying to get their tan on. We think there's something much more enjoyable than that, it's a women that can surf and shred with the best of them. Here's a clip we found of lady wave shredder Isabela Sousa shredding it up in Rio. Enjoy.

Desert Surf

We came across this video while scouring youtube looking for new clips and then the title was Desert Adventure but the photo for the video showed bodyboarders so we were intrigued and said screw it lets check it out. Basically these three Portuguese shredders tear up this wave pool in this landlocked area in the United Arab Emirates. Enjoy the clip!

Stand-Up Bodyboarding

Whoever first dared to stand up on a bodyboard is a pure innovator. One of the first people that we seen stand-up on a bodyboard was Chris "wonton" Taloa. He was just a pure waterman, good on both prone and dropknee. Well following in those foot steps we stumbled upon this El Salvadorian they call "Zancudo." The clip says it all, enjoy!

Vintage Jacob Romero

This is the footage from a while back in which we realized that Jacob Romero was going to be a force in the bodyboarding world. One reason why we thought this is because of the pure fact that whenever he rides in this clip, he just seems to have fun. Pretty much that's what we love to see in professionals is are they having fun doing what they're doing. Check out the clip.
