Update 15.08.2010: Superstoked to be Superstoked

"Hallååå?!"

Ok, so things have not gone exactly as planned in regards to the release date, but here comes one of the oldest excuses in the book.. "our surfboard fins shredded all our articles..."

No, but seriously, things are coming along great! And we now have 30+ articles and hundreds of photos thanks to our lovely contributors. Most of us contributing to the magazine are chiropractors and students, so patients/studies takes up much of our time.

- Eye Candy #1: Surfing Photos by Luiz Felipe Simonsen-Gonzalez
- Eye Candy #2: Photos from the graphic designer Tommy Strømmen featuring Asia's finest motifs. Amongst them Sri Lanka. (Make My Head Spin Studios)

Like the norwegian snowboarding ace Gjermund Bråthen said about Superstoked Magazine, directly from the TTR competition in New Zealand on friday: - Jeg er Superstoka!

Thanks Gjermund, we are superstoked as well!

Update #21.june

We are currently working on the 1st issue of SUPERSTOKED MAGAZINE; but there are some distractions preventing us from working as efficient as we would like... such as education, debutalbum mixing and entering chiropractic clinic life, but we will get it out there though and it will be pretty darn cool as well. ;)

Some recent developments:

- EYE CANDY section: Will feature photos by the professional photographer Luiz-Felipe Gonzalez

- GO GREEN: Article on the health benefits from drinking green tea. "Do the green thing."

- Surf Music History: Stian Grorud is currently working on this article, which is set out to be quite a masterpiece.

Stay tuned, stay SUPERSTOKED!
