Issue 5 :: Cover - Who?

  • sampisampi
    May 2008
    Making the cover of the magazine is a coveted achievement and selecting the shot and rider is an arduous task. Much needs to be considered each time.

    The rider and shot has been selected for issue 5 and only a select few people know who it is...

    See if any of you can guess who will be on the cover of Issue 5, bonus 'points' if you can guess where (roughly) the shot was taken?

  • SmTSmT
    May 2008
    From a Durbanites point of view, I reckon it's Spex, too many good shots from Hawaii this season
    sasha_800.jpg
    But if I choose a Durban fella (which should be about time) then I go for Oros or maybe Ratt or some unknown just to spice it up, either at good North Beach or secret spot???
    Haha, I reckon it's actually an empty barrell!!!!
    p.s This shot was featured in the latest Riptide, double page spread!

    Oh my soul Sampi...that is so classic!

    But how could you guys use me for the cover without asking first?
  • krukru
    May 2008
    Ok Mr. Tickner,

    I love the idea of ORo at a cave rock or Ratt at a secret south coast spot....
    now where the damn pics...hahaha :twisted:
  • craigtrilivascraigtrilivas
    May 2008
    Ja I think its rad that Unknowns get a spot in the mag.

    I mean obviously its the pros who get the most exposure to get everyone else amped and to showcase the talent & the sport but if they (the amateur) knew that there was a chance of seeing themselves, even at 4cm x 4cm somwhere, thats whats gonna get & keep them motivated to bust out and go big u know?
    Maybe u could even run a lil contest for the okes to submit their pic or something and dedicate even a 1/4 page to them?
    An unknown on the cover every now and then would be a sure-fire way to keep subscriptions growing and the stoke flowing :mrgreen:
    Either way i would still keep buying the zine :wink:

    I love sixty40 :!:

    I mean when I was like 15 or so and still in Durbz, Marcel Schmidt (DIBS clothing) made the centre spread of the zig zag and that to me was unbelievable cos he wasnt sponsored or anything.
    It was always pics of say Thiel at Waimea or a Cockwell bro bustin or Nelson air spinning etc....

    Maybe sum of the older crowd remeber it?
    Pulling into a sweet A-frame Far Bowl barrel on a Power bodyboard, (Rossi's 1st ever boards), full suit pulling the peace sign :?:

    Old skool but at the same time awesome stuff.

    Out of all the issues that I read of Zigzag Bodyboarding, that is the only spread I remember clearly. Pure class ... unfortunately tagged as "unknown".
  • craigtrilivascraigtrilivas
    May 2008
    Ja me too hey.
    He was my next door neighbour.
    Just remember him being so sooper incredibly stoked :mrgreen:
    Think it was Pablo Ponzone who took the pic?
    Cant remember.
    Wat happened to Pablo?
    Thought he was on his way to becoming a great photographer for our sport.
    Then he dissapeared :|

    Oh well, times change people change.
    Marcel stands up now but still remains an awesome dood.

    Miss alot of the old beachfront crew man :(
    Some of the best days of my life.

    Def paying Durban a visit soon :!:
  • JmoJmo
    May 2008
    I also remember that spread... amongst the cobwebs.
    The first (and only) time I got a photo in Zag bodyboarding it was also labelled 'Unknown'... I was so stoked and so bleak at the same time... what a lag.
  • KellyKelly
    May 2008
    OK ... no correct guess yet so I'll give a hint and offer a prize to try get you a bit amped.

    Your hint - the rider is South African and quite surprisingly has not been mentioned yet.

    The prize - a copy of the new ROAM DVD to the first person who guesses correctly. Only one guess per person and will send out to any South African address.

    The winner will be announced as soon as the cover is released.

    If you're in or around Durban tomorrow ... don't forget the ROAM premiere at the IMAX. Get details here: http://www.sixty40.co.za/contest.php?id=282

    Hey guys, just wanted to let you remember earlier on what kelly wrote... i take it he is a truthful guy so i am going to trust him!!! basically everyone that had been metioned is not on the cover before his post!!! heavy... unlucky guys, but lets be honest... WEZ FISCHER, me, and all the other guys who are not 'famous' !!!!! maybe even Rob Gray from Kokstad. i'm gonna stick with Rob... also gonna mention my main man Mark Watts... definately gonna get some points from somewhere!!! dont need the vid though, in it for the love of the game!!! but it could be one the guys mentioned after that :wink: ... the games are most certainly on!!! love you all... GOT HIM!!!!

    June 2008
    OK so wat do we get if we win?
    Na its ok, i r not greedy :mrgreen:

    Im going now ( for my final guess ) for Aadam Grant at a some reef spot in the reserve that on the day of shooting was throwing sum mad mutant wide barrels.
    Im thinking solid 6-8 ft, long ride with possibly 2 tubetimes and a fat bust off the end section.
    I think i got it right there moohahahaha!!!!
    Take that!!!
    Totally smashed it 8)

    OK, so we had a little informal give away and it was Marthinus who was the first man to guess correctly. The man of the moment, Wes Fischer scored himself an epic backdoor cover shot from the Hawaii 07/08 season which is featured in our Birthday issue.

    Marthinus - well done bru, your prize is in the mail.

    Check out the latest issue at http://www.sixty40.co.za/currentissue and grab a copy when it comes out on the 4th July. Hope you guys enjoy!

    I KNEW IT!! :) WEZ was the first name that came into my mind--back, a couple week's ago, just after Sampi proposed this on May 16. I didn't venture to put my thought's in writing and was glad I didn't after reading Kel's post of "will send out to any South African address"--wouldn't want to blow it for someone in SA qualifying for the prize.
    Congrat's Martinus!!
    The inuendoe's(?) or hints--"STEAKSTAR"--were too funny ;)

    **ALL THE BEST TO WEZ, MARKMC AND THE REST OF THE "Nomads" on the Shark Island Challenge!!
    Hope it goes off in a few hours--amped to see it on the WEBCAM:
