Nick O arrived back from Sydney this week where he has been holed up for the past month or so. He was struck down with the Flu just prior to the CSIC and upon returning home was dealt another blow with a bad case of food poisoning. How's the luck?

Bad health and a dose of good waves haven't stopped him though. Along with 2007 CSIC Champion Ben Player, Nick recently became the latest addition to the Booger King Team.

Novy is also back in Queensland after spending some time floating around the Central Coast, Sydney, and the New South Wales South Coast. Not for long though. He will fly out for Chile with the There's No I crew early next week.

Is Mitch Woodland [above] the luckiest kid in the world right now? It is highly likely considering he has been invited to join Novy and the There's No I Team in Chile!

"I've been doing heaps of vineyard work, saving for Chile", he says. "It's fucked! [Laughs] We didn't have gloves the first day and our hands got destroyed."

While in Chile with the Waldron Bros., Mitch and Novy will both compete in the next stop on the IBA World Tour, the Arica Chilean Challenge from August 1 - 12.

Speaking of the Waldron Bros., they have finally put up their website! It was well worth the wait. With plenty of content to browse, it is undoubely one of the most comphensive Bodyboarding sites on the world wide web.

Check waldronbros.com for up to date There's No I news, frame grabs and teasers along with information on other Waldron Bros. projects in the works and much more. Do it!

After waiting out the last few weeks for the CSIC to run, Novy [above] headed home to the Sunshine Coast, QLD for some well deserved R & R. However, his stay was cut short following a call to jet back to Sydney last night only to be denied by a late decision not to go ahead with the Finals today.

With the current forecast being favourable for Shark Island, the CSIC is likely to be wrapped up tomorrow. Keep checking back for more updates as they come to hand.

Movement Issue 18 landed on our doorstep late last week. This is what you have to look forward to.

"Luna Park fired up one weekend last month, those perfect southern ocean conditions when the offshore spray near doubles the height of the approaching lines. A bunch of big name pros rolled into town, all secretive and unannounced, so that when everyone arrived the next day it was a solid pack of twenty-plus dudes, one tow-surfer and one chopper, circling overhead to capture the whole glorious circus. What played out for the next few hours was some heavy locals and some super-heavy caves.

"We also flew west to spend a week with a crew that are travelling for a year in the name of documentary film making. Hardy led the way back on home soil, joined by Winchester, Novy, Singer and Bunting.

"Finally, we abandoned the board buyer’s guide this year for an on-location board test. Fancy two weeks in pumping Bali with 26 of the best new boards in the world to throw around? We couldn’t think of a better way to give you a glimpse of your new ride than out on the track. Join four of Australia’s best, unsigned riders and read what they had to say about crop of ’07."
