Our crew consists of Australia’s Raine Jackson; Cornish roses Corinne Evans, Gabi Rowe and Jess Henry; Irishwoman Shauna Ward; Channel Island’s Chantelle Coote; and Devonshire’s finest, Laura Crane and Lucy Campbell. Our international team of intrepid travellers hit the water, surfing their first luscious day in the tropical heat at the farthest southern point of Sri Lanka. A place we have yet to know the name of. A place where perfect A-frame peaks hit the shoreline consistently. A palm tree haven….

Kataragama's spiritual traditions throughout Sri Lanka and South India

Deep in the Forest of the remote island’s south-eastern jungle I’m hacking through the debris trying to find a legendary trail. For over centuries the native people have experienced the homeless life of a beggar, who trod this trail for over a millennium, leaving everything behind but a bundle of essentials.
Sleeping and living outside, under trees and in shrines and temples; seldom knowing from where their next meal will come; braving death from animal attacks or disease they walk. We walk alongside in order to find a wave. A few days earlier we had met a tuk tuk driver who used to carry back breaking loads of supplies along the path, he warmed me that time, animals, and invasive people may be intrusive to our pathway but there would be a rewarding empty wave to surf.
The Skateboard
The story of the simple skateboard is part thriller, part underground, underdog success tale. It’s chock-full of innovations, far-out graphic artistry, and ever-more-incredible hot-dogging feats. And the story’s told in this book with contributions from the stars themselves—Tony Hawk, Stacey Peralta, Jeff Ho, the Dogtown Z-Boys, and more. Beautifully illustrated with historical posters, ads, and memorabilia along with new action photography, studio skateboard shots, and unique portraits of the stars, this is a fitting tribute to an American classic.

It is important to shoot as strikingly as possible when it comes to the cover shot! The cover image makes the magazine sell to those people that pass on by looking at hundreds of images and titles staring them in the face and stop when their eyes hit one that stands out and seems interesting to pick up! Imagery is as important as text and can make or break whether a sale is made, its is immediately recognised in the brain as an image is processed in the mind quicker than a word is.
