Ten years ago a man with a strange name created a website which gave the general bodyboarding public its first faceless voice.

Rabi, a Western Australian techno wiz, looked into the future and saw the need for an online bodyboarding community via this new thing called The Internet and Fluidzone was born.

For a long time his site was the biggest bodyboarding website in the world and it led the way for all the tech savvy websites, blogs and twittering ways of our industry today.

Fluidzone was so popular that some well trained hackers broke the main frame andinfiltrated the database and brought the site to a standstill, reeking havoc which Rabi could not repair.

So on the ten year anniversary of Fluidzone I am very proud head up the new website and push the GO button on a totally new site. Our big brother, Swellnet that a lot of you already know and use for daily surf forecasts and reports are behind the relaunch of the site. Fluidzone will bring you all these state of the art tools for forecasting and live surf cams but be 100% bodyboarding content.

To kick things off we are bringing you the live webcast from the Turbo Pipe pro 2010, so sit back tell your boss your busy and enjoy each and every heat live.

If you would like to shoot across anything you think is news worthy on the site please do, but for now bookmark that old favourite and make it a daily routine to drop by.
