SIXTY FOUR COVER SHOTS
“Our Entire Family Up and Moved for Sup,” by Ron DuBois

Hi Everybody,
In the spirit of sticking to our visual approach to communicating this sport that has satisfyingly swallowed us all whole, instead of spending a wordy page about the stoke of sup’ing in the Summertime, I’d like to share the three quotes below. Along with Pandora Radio’s Jeoffrey Foucalt and Meg Hutchinson stations, the meaning behind these quotes drove me happily through our long deadline grind—it was a huge ish for us, the highlights of which include our first-ever cover shot taken by a woman, and the thickest sup mag in history… so far:

“People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.” -From a story my bud/Journal advisory board member Tom ‘Wart’ Craig sent me

“Passion is a healthy combination of love and anger” -Heard this, of all places, from a football player on a sports radio talk show

“You feel at home with a paddle in your hands—as natural and indigenous as a bow or a spear. When you swing through the stroke and move forward, you set in motion long-forgotten reflexes, stir up ancient sensations deep within your subconscious.” -Taken [with a couple editorial liberties] from paddling sage & adventurer Sigurd Oslen; a quote we found in “the other Steve West’s” (from the UK) new, rich and very complete book, Stand Up Paddle, available through Kanuculture.com

Combined with this page’s superb Russell Ord image of Aussie sup ripper Courts Gray heading out at Margaret River, I hope you’ll be inspired to take the day—or the Summer!—off… and just go paddling with friends, old and new.
