le boogie issue 10... ryan hardy

Yes, Issue 11 is already out, but I finally got my hands on a copy of Le Boogie's tenth issue the other week to find a pensive portrait of none other than Mr Ryan Hardy, from the Canarian season late last year... What was equally as interesting was that my twin brother Naw did the interview to accompany and that much of the conversation centres on Ryans twin brother Brett! It's twin power all the way!

Hats off to Phil, Shad, Ian and Wing for a freaking rad cover too...

Le Boogie Issue 10...

panoramic boogie...

Was super stoked to have some panoramic pics featured in the latest issue of Le Boogie magazine. The Hasselblad Xpan I shot the images with is such a beautiful camera and though it's often a challenge finding the right situation for it, when all the factors come together, it's gold in grain...

Speaking of film, I've been shooting a lot more of it lately with both the Xpan and my trusty old Yashica 124, inspired mostly by a young Frenchman by the name of Jerome Tanon. Check out his website, especially the double exposures... You shan't be disappointed!

Another portrait page in the latest Le Boogie, this time of French wunderkind Pierre Louis Costes... It's been really ace watching PLC's growth and change over the three years since we first met... I clearly remember being amazed at his unlimited energy, health and fitness in 2008, mainly because he lived on a diet of cheap pasta and pasta sauce... It's great to see how his circumstances have evolved and the best thing is, it's all from his own hard work... Keep up the good work mon ami!

South Africa's Jared Houston has been steadily making moves in bodyboarding over the past couple of years. Big moves, smooth style and always full of smiles; it's ace to see good things coming to those who deserve it... 

I was really stoked for this picture perfect air forward to get a decent run in Le Boogie Issue 7. Smooth skills Jerry! Here's a couple of extra pics from the 2010 Canarian season, in and out of the contest arena...

Recently received a copy of the latest Le Boogie (Issue number 7) with a few pics of mine scattered throughout, including this portrait of Brazil's finest, Mr Guilherme Tamega...

Congratulations are most certainly due to this long time don of the bodyboarding world as he recently took out the Arica Challenge in Chile in smoking 6-10 foot surf. Good luck for the rest of the year GT!
