that Jim Phillips mentions in a different thread is no B.S. The big time/big buck advertisers do seem to get the preferential treatment don’t they? And the mags definitely monkey around with their photos… a classic example that comes to mind is when Taylor Knox won the biggest wave contest at Todos Santos a few years ago. I don’t mean to sound critical of Taylor Knox - that was a helluva wave and he earned it. Different magazines ran the money shot and sure enough -same photo, same board and… different sponsor’s logos!
John: Having been in the film/photo industry in a past life I notice other subtle editorial priveledges being exercised- like a wave being portrayed as being steeper than it really is. Ever notice how frequently a shot is spiced up with a major twist on one axis? oh, and lets get that Realm logo in there nice and crisp too!

The next thing you’re gonna tell me is that they change the logos on the baggies and rashguards they are wearing on those boat trips! Tom S.>>> …Skateboarding too!They’ve even altered tat’s on some of the > guys.Herb

It would be totally great to use the one My Wave Bookie Removal Kit (Costco?) at my locally infested beach!! To be sure, a dreaming come true! Bonta
Pray for it my brother and it will come true. I will look for you on the cover!
