25 June 2009 Head over here to see what all the fuss is about. After another lengthy stint on the sideline, Movement 29 is due to hit stores next week. Not to be outdone, Movement will also be unveiling a new website to compliment the latest issue of the magazine. "We have reduced to five mags a year from six, bumped up the page count each issue so you get more and made one a Photo Annual," Editor In Chief Pete Moore announced this week. "We did this because we believe the mag should be a well thought out, well shot, well written and well designed piece of glory for your coffee table and we were missing far too many surfs to achieve this any longer doing six issues a year. We also believe the internet is the future of instantaneous media so we spent a heap of cash having developers build a special site where bodyboarders can feel warm and fuzzy." Keep your eyes peeled on movementmag.com, fool. 25 June 2009 He also recently landed himself an invite to compete in the 2009 Shark Island Challenge and a new board sponsor, Empire.

Each session is $15.00 - with an initial sign up fee of $20.00 - and runs for one to two hours. Every week participants will be provided with a DVD of personal footage from the previous session as well as a handout on the weeks subject.
