good searching, SF! I'll have to haunt the local B&N to see if they carry it and grab the new issue when it comes out!

nice covershot the speedblur is a nice touch when used appropriately.

all n all seemed like a very solid mag with good writing for the most part
for those of us in the masses that still read

enjoyed the tim winton chapters and might even go pick up his book now
do you have an idea if his books have been good reads
hadnt heard of them before?

send Jacqui an email Barry

I don't know which book the chapters are from (not caught up with the mag yet) but I have read Tim Wintons "Dirt Music" and was impressed with his ability to communicate the feel of the town and people he was writing about, so much so that I have another of his books to read when I have finished the book I am currently reading. The new Tim Winton book that I have to read (don't know the title as I am at work and the book is at home) has a cover that insinuates it is about surfing or the ocean - will re post the title when I get home this arvo - this could be the book the chapters are from.

Cheers Wolruss

how do steen?

most kneelos in the area who are not internet savy (or interested) ride Micheal D boards as a matter of history

mostly square tail twins ridden of the tail

I use to have one and it was a gem (scoop deck)

Micheal D continues to rip winkypop regulaly and his surf outlet empire grows.

With luck one day he will gather all local kneelos together...he is the one person down this way who could really provide exposure. If he and Neil Luke got together there could be a two weekend festival connecting both sides of Victoria in November....or something

cheers
