After their debut dvd "DRAW" the Panic Button crew are working on a new product to help the industry move forward and put Bodyboarding into the limelight.
The project consists of making a surf travel documebntary series to be aired on Australian Pay tv's extreme sports channel Fuel Tv. It will be shot in 2009 and aired towards the end of the year, if all goes to plan.
"After we submitted a pilot Fuel were instantly impressed and from then we have been working on making the series happen" - BRAD HUIGHES
"Its going to be an exciting project, we've got a good team together and it can only do good for the sport just as long as we can get the support to make it happen, I'm definately amped on it" - CHAD JACKSON
The series titled "Soak The Sponge" will be a 6 to 8 part series consisting of a half an hour documentary hosted by Chad Jackson and Brad Hughes who will be taking some of the worlds best bodyboarders to some of the gnarliest locations in Australia and around the globe. Their travels will be documented showing what is involved to find and ride some of the most mind blowing breaks ever surfed.
It is sure to open the eyes of the public and show the world the love and dedication these guys have for the sport of bodyboarding and who is really going out there and finding and riding all these new enormous, life threatening waves, and it aint the huge corporate surf companies.
So stay tuned for updates and the initial airing times of the pilot and 1 full length episode in the coming months....
