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.
