I have just returned from the UK and found a copy of SUPaddleboards June 2008 edition on a news stand. It was issue #2 and has 4 pages on the Noosa Surf Festival under the heading "Mike Schweiger visits the Gold Coast where the SUP scene os taking off big time."

There is a 2 page photo spread of JB doing his thing.

I suppose that from 12000kms away the Gold Coast is close to the Sunshine coast.

Generally the mag all 56 pages covers the SUP scene pretty well.

Jeez you meet the nicest people here at the Breeze..

SH contacted me and said he would send me his copy of the new SU Paddleboards magazine that he just picked up in the UK.

Today I received it..Thanks SH..That was very nice of you..

On pages 16-17 there is a big double page spread picture of our JB cutting back on the 9'6" Naish at Noosa..It's a great shot.

Pages 26-27 has a nice looking bikini girl (Anne Marie Reichmann) showing how to get started on a SUP..

There's great pictures of her bending over and getting on the board..

Here's a link to the mag site.. http://www.supaddleboards.com/latest_issue.htm ..and we should see this issue in our shops here soon.

There was a Topic on here this morning and a guy posted saying theres a new mag coming out today called Stand Up Journal,

So i went for a paddle to 2 different newsagents that were on the list and they didnt have a clue wat i was talking about.

Then i get home and the Topic had been deleted.

Dunno if he got his dates wrong or sumthing.

I've been checking here and get the same answer..I think it's due about the 5th of July.

The UK seems to be very quick on the SUP mag scene, I saw quite a few copies of the mags while over in Maui (the UK dealers bought them over). Good content, good pics (esp. the ones of me!!!). It would be awesome if an Aussie mag developed, as I think we have a lot to offer with SUP.

I thought of scanning my pic and putting it up, but thought it would be a bit of a trumpet blow. It is a cool pick though considering the surf is only about knee high.

Me and Jacko were just talking about it this arvo,

We were saying hopefully sumone scans a few pages of the mag and puts it up.

Cheers again Clay i'll keep checking.

Same as Jake .. went to Pines News yesterday after collecting new fins and having old fin surgically removed, and Pine News had never heard of it. Although I did think at first that Jake or his Dad had beaten me there ... bleedin snakes!!
Clay, if there is a lack of support from the professional photogs, can I ask then is the publication open to reader's contributions? These could be in form of digital images or also written.
To me, the window of opportunity to promote the virtues of SUP before summer arrives is closing very fast. There is a plethora of issues the sport needs to address very quickly as it approaches the explosion of participants that could be expected over the summer months and the mag would be an extremely effective medium to do this.
Just a random thought.
