British Sponger.

Once upon a time there were two bodyboarding magazines published in Britain.

British Sponger was made by bodyboarders for bodyboarders, there were eight issues published across '98 and '99.

Editor Johnny Burt, Associate editor Tim Nunn (now editing Wavelength magazine) and Photo Editor Roger Sharp produced a content-heavy magazine with a lively and fun style.

Nine years later, I'm trying to make each issue available to download as a PDF, and create a permanent record of the magazine, before all the copies get forgotten and recycled, but some of the copies I have are not complete.

If anyone can scan in or photograph any of the missing pages I'll scan everything that I have access to and eventually all the issues will be available to anyone who wants to read them.

the address to send pages to is: pages@britishsponger.co.uk
