Surf more read less
Half the time I regret buying them unless they have a really good DVD included. I mostly buy them when I need Xrays or something @ the DRs. Luckily not too often.

Going out on a limb here and assuming that was a serious question...

PM me if you want details of a good lifecoach. He specialises in breaking addictions such as smoking, and quite a few pro athletes use him too. Might even help you surf better. But he ain't cheap. No one who produces results ever is, sadly.

I dont buy them anymore unless there is a dvd i want. One day I counted about 40% of the magazine was ads. So i stopped paying for ads.

i buy the white boy trash that is "stab" cos it most often has the best photography. better than average interviews too but they seem to take themselves too seriously while at the same time pretending that they dont.

also buy asl when there's a DVD.


No point buying them all every month. just a waste of money for the same old shi'ite. ads + a few photos not= $9 Image

Relax and enjoy your problem, I say.

("You self interested prick, Carroll!" "You're part of the f**ken problem!" "Evil exploiter of surfing's fragile beauty!!" etc etc)

Really bootsy I reckon you're better off enjoying surf mags than some other meeja forms I could mention. Imagine being New Idea's target market.

I'm also another collector.

I have no idea what to do with them?Should i throw them out?Should i cut out all the bits and pieces i like and recycle the rest?

I get bored easily so thats why i buy them.Take them for a read at the gym to help motivate me to train harder,use them to inspire some of the skecthes i draw...

I don't want to end up like those people on Today Tonight whose house is overloaded with rubbish!
