ASL 259 is Tim Fisher’s 50th and final magazine as editor, and he’s leaving on a beauty. We take Ry Craike, Mitch Coleborn, Jay Davies and Brent Dorrington to untouched perfect Pacific pits, sit down for months with Adrian Buchan to profile one of the country’s rising stars and get the good word from Joel Parkinson on why his home break is number one.
We catch up with Chippa Wilson to find out what’s been making him rip, get Jordy Smith to show us how to punt silly, and Julian Wilson tells us what’s on his radar in 2010.
As well as all the regular departments and salt-water goodness, jammed on the front of the mag is Compressor, the best damn DVD review of last year’s Hawaiian season around. As well as featuring exclusive interviews with Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson, and giving the whole blow-by-blow breakdown of their world title battle, Compressor showcases the sickest season for swell in years. Pipe, Backdoor, Haleiwa, Sunset, Rocky Point. You name it, if it broke and there were stars in the water, ASL was filming from the sand and you can check the spectacular results out now.
ASL 259 is a great read and a classic watch, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we’ve enjoyed making it. Summer’s in full swing and we hope you’re having fun.
