Movement 16 is out now. As always, you can pick it up from your local newsagent or Bodyboard store. This is what the latest issue has on offer according to the Movement crew themselves.

"The surfing world stopped and stared slack-jawed at Hawaii for another winter while the world's best tried to back up all the talk. Our North Shore spread traces the moments that have made the place infamous, talks hierarchy in the line-ups and bangs out the biggest shots.

"Jeff Hubbard stole away with the world title, the Pipeline Pro and this issue's profile. His performances have made the rest look slow and sluggish and for a quietly spoken man he's got plenty to say. We'll run a special feature on the Pipeline Pro contest - hailed as the best ever - showing how the spectacle played out with all the most memorable waves from the event.

"Ben Player and Dallas Singer go man-on-man at a South Coast ledge in our other feature while Damian King talks sponsor drama, Ryan Hardy tours his new home and all the world champs fill our gang slot."

Also, you can check out the Movement 16 Preview produced by the Waldron Bros. here.

It's been kinda hectic here at UNITE. HQ, apologies for the lack of news updates recently. It's all good, over the next couple of weeks you can expect the announcement of our 2007 Team, a revamped unite4fundotcom, and the launch of our much anticipated Fall / Winter 07 range! Psyched!

Mitch Woodland has returned home an impressive season in Hawaii. He will be hitting Queensland's Sunshine Coast this week to stay with mate Jake Stone. Mitch will also compete in the Harbour Town Digital Mobile Pro on the Gold Coast.

Hez Update."Hawaii was fun, was a pretty decent season. I've been home a couple weeks now, just hanging out for a swell in South Oz, then I'm going to head down there. I have had a few good surfs down the south coast. Other than that, I've just been hitting the town!"

Harry is now riding for Morey Bodyboards and Churchill SwinFins. Here's what he had to say in the Morey Press Release. “Morey has always seemed the like king pin of bodyboarding to me, they were the first bodyboards ever made and ridden and have held their name as the biggest and best in the sport ever since. They have a cool image surrounding them that seems to promote the fun and individuality of the bodyboarding lifestyle and I am pleased to be a part of it.”

“I am stoked their boards are finally back out in Australia and available for us over here. I reckon their new stuff is cutting edge and fresh while keeping their retro old school image they are known to most people as."

“In the future I want my bodyboarding profile to grow and become more recognised worldwide and I feel being with Morey will assist in this and portray the image I want to be recognised as.”

Novy also just got back from Hawaii, the last stop on his World Trip. He scored decent waves on each stop of his journey, the Philipines [above] and Canary Islands [below] in particular. He will also be on the Gold Coast for the BBA Australian Tour event.
