Obnoxious weed problem.

There is a problem on the coast the further north you go in America. The weed, and I am not talking about the sweet Mary Jane, marijuana or grass. Thick stinking sea weed that covers everything and at low tide can make for some interesting times entering and leaving the water. Yesterday I slipped on my ass, the day before I rode a wave 20 feet along a kelp covered rock shelf I walked along hours before. But never fear my pot loving brethren the tales of blueberry soaked resin filled buds are thick here also, so pack your bong and be careful whilst walking on the kelp this is my advice.

Yesterday around one in the afternoon Thomas stumbled into the studio reeking of booze and cheap perfume. I asked him what was new and the latest Thomas headlines read like this. Thomas recently flew back to Sydney after preparing for the summer in his home town of Noosa, once leaving the airport he was picked up by a close friend. They drank a lot. Night ends, Thomas and his friend go separate ways. Tom finds a nest of another friend near by to sleep off the the drinks and that nest even housed a female bird which showed him shelter in his time of need. In non related drunk activities he has done his ankle in whilst skating so its the size of a loaf of bread. He is now helping I AM NONE put some finishing touches on the next video THRASHED. We talked about his recent cover on Movement, how it's now very fashionable to own a tough dog and if cootes was ever coming home from Ireland.

After two cups of black instant coffee, he was on his way again to meet up with some more friends and eat cheap steak.

le BOOGIE reviewed by the chief of printed goods.

Mike Wells has been rumored to tear pages out of magazines, turn the covers over on the news stands all in disgust of the quality of its goods.

I have feared the moment when Mr Wells picked up a copy but I think we did ok and now he is our critic / homo erotic editor. Read Mike's review below.

So….

Here we go again, yet another bodyboard magazine promising to  break away from the usual trash that I have become so bored with. Maybe I’m being a little spoilt but is it too much to ask that after I put a magazine down, I won’t want to swear to never read another issue? 

This happens.

A lot.

I’m a realist though. I know how hard it is to put out superior products having shaped for a bodyboard company back when they cared about making boards. Not garbage that is easy to pump out to keep the bottom line in the black.

Bodyboarding  has become stale for me.

I lose the fire to get out there being stuck doing the grind these days. So I, like so many other humans look to the medium of mags to keep me interested.

That is the problem.

The garbage out there these days is filthy.

Have you seen Bodyboarder (or ’ing I cant remember what) mag lately.

Shit off. Seriously.

That’s where  our heroes at le Boogie arrive.

Edited by an all round nice guy / guru. Art direction by a barrista. Doesn’t sound too great when you hear that. Untill we realise that Phil Gallagher is that nice guy/guru.

Luke Shadbolt is that barrista.

This got my attention.

Usually when someone from “our side” starts something, it is fantastic.

That person has the knowledge to do what the public want. (See  early No Friends, the first few issues of Movement, Waldron Bros, cough, DLUX, cough cough, booger king etc.)

Le Boogie isn’t a traditional magazine.

Le boogie isn’t so much celebration of the rider/wave. Well it is but its also about showing off what you’re staring at. The photo little fella, the photo.

Bringing back the ol’ days when you can see more than the blatantly obvious. Talking to people because they have something decent to say (Winchester/Mattick) not just to fill a caption.

Le Boogie is not a traditional magazine.

Do a photo trip and just run the photos? Madness!  Awesome!

Brilliant actually. Use four guys that have recognisable style and Boom!

Actually showing photographers photos. Not a photo taken by a guy.

Photographers that use (and teach in a few shots) things like depth of field and slower shutter speeds.

Le Boogie is not a traditional magazine.

The only bad thing, for me, and this is being harsh, you guys, ahhh, how do I say this?

I found some spelling mistakes. There, I said it. With so few words I found a couple.

But i'll proof read your next issue if you like.

I loved it.

Now please don’t break my heart. 

Mike Wells
