Not big on Tracks.

I will now be able to shake your hand without fear .
ben
…sorry to hear about your lack of surf Dougy boy, and your male menopause …
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN,
Welcome to the club - the best surf mag on the planet bar none!
l’ve been a subscriber for about 6 years, its addictive bit like sway’s
Ant
PS - Hope he’s gonna re-new it for ya every year
Q:
how may issues per year ?
I’m guessing , if it’s bi-monthly or quaterly ? , that being "volume 15’’ already , it’s been going at least 10 or more years ??
ben
what is your favourite issue / article from them so far , Ant ?
six issues a year, it comes out every 2 months.
Volume 15 is the year (its been running for 15 years)
Issue 1 is the first of the year.
in seven issues time it will be volume 16.
cheers Josh !
have you seen it there in Sydney anywhere ?
when I was “over east” [as us insular ites say here!] , my brother brought a couple of copies with him …mate , did I ever POUR over them !! like eating after being starved of real food for ages .
Great photos and articles , evidently aiming for a more mature and intelligent audience than 95% of the Aussie so-called “surf mags” , and waaay less ads , to boot …
…GOLD, in short !
ben
ben,
You just got sentenced to 8-10 hours of digesting every issue the minute it comes in. The really creepy part is that somewhere in the 7th hour, you realize you’ve just about read the whole thing and now you’ve 59 days to go untill the next one comes.
cool !
hicksy can make himself a board between each issue , then ! [if he hurries]
ben
Ben,
Volume 15 #1’s out, it takes a few weeks to hit oz unless you get it via air mail.
What impeccable timing you have,a feature article on Vicco.
Go to web attached & click on current issue.
When you’ve finished there click on the search tab & have fun
Ant
PS: May fav issue is always the next one
Allthough Kidman did a great article on surfing down south with Wayne & crew
You can check it out here a great read - let me know what you think
The Surfer’s Journal - Feature Story, Victoria- Places in the Mind
thanks Ant !
I’ll check that after
my surf
buying gear for my next board
returning from hicksy’s
…question…
does australia post carnage your copies , trying to stuff / fold the mag into a mailbox-sized hole ,
or
do you normally pick it up from the post office …how do they mail it to you , flat [I hope not] , or in a poster tube ?
cheers mate !

Bubble packed envelope to your door - never had a prob
Even had one not turn for like 4 weeks after
it should have & they sent me another which
arrived 2 days before the first one they sent.
Emailed them to let them know l’d return it
& they said to keep it - my good luck.
Gave the spare copy (with some other gifts) to
my mate Bella for glassing my fish
good stuff !
the last package delivered to my door was [this is true!] by a blonde with a wet T-shirt [it was winter] .
I asked her in for coffee and to dry off , but for some reason she declined
ben
[maybe I should have picked my lower jaw up off the floor , before trying to speak , do you think ? …the things you see when you don’t have a camera in your hand eh ?!]
