In the ever changing world of media we at Sixty40 have decided to embrace going digital. With there being so much free content available on the web we found that sales were starting to slow while our online readers have grown exponentially.2135 views

| Yeah, hows it going? | |

| So, any progress? | |

| Alright guys I'd like to apologize for the comment I made earlier......I really don't have a right to say stuff like that when I'm not the one under pressure to deliver the goods. Thanks for evolving and adapting to the changing economic climate. | |

| So, when can we expect our first digital edition of Sixty40? | |

| Digital's definitely the way to go, remember my mom posting my mags to me overseas and paying R100 a pop for postage...so worth it! Digital will be awesome, so much more opportunity to link all forms of digital media into an online offering. Video clips, interviews, killer pics...think it's a great move, looking forward to it. Yearly print copy would be super as well if it's a viable option. | |

| Have to agree with Ryan! At least we'll be entertained right from our PC's with quality virtual mags! Yeewwww! | |

| It is the sign of the times and a bold move. Keep it up and we will all be behind you! I'm all for the annual print in December- great prezzie at the year end!! | |

| Will always have the utmost respect and gratitude to the guys behind sixty40, SABA and provincial associations who work tirelessly with little or no thanks. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision to go digital but I definitely think it will be a bigger and better opportunity to get coverage. Stoked there's still the possibility of an annual print. Keep up all the hard work guys, thanks for all the work you've done so far! | |

| Sixty40 and Saba/Jonothan Oliff are the only things validating the South African industry, Rowan, I dont really have words for you. | |

| Thats heavy Rowan... Unless you can help finance Sixty40 for printed copies, I suggest you keep these selfish comments for yourself. Sixty40 are one of the few things in SA that keeps bodyboarding on the map. | |

| You guys F###ing SUCK!!!!!!!!!! Total let down BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! | |

| Thanks for the support and comments guys. We loved our print mags too and would love to be able to do both. Unfortunately as most things in life it comes down to a question of $$$. Saying that, we're pretty excited about going digital - it allows us to promote bodyboarding to a wider audience and we are not constrained by the limitations of print distribution and it allows us to be more interactive with our readers. @pacmanphoto - we are considering one print annual per year. If we do, it will be for December. Plus we have a few other ideas which may/may not materialise as we move forward. | |

| my first reaction is NOOOO!!!!! :'( but digital is the way forward. its just nice to flick through my old dust magz and remember the "good old days". time will tell if this is the way forward. all the best guys and you have my full support!!! | |
| Ryan Williams 17th February 2011 03:11 |
| Shit man, this is a sad day. How about just one copy a year with the rest being online or is that out of the question? I do think the decision is the right one though. I hope to see more photo's from SA based photogs, depending on quality ofcourse. All the best | |

| Kinda bleak, but hey hopefully this could actually mean much more pages, instead of just the +-50 pages of what the mag used to be. More pictures from South Africa and local photographers, more stories etc etc. This Could actually work, I mean, its not like extra digital pages cost anything. ;) Anyway, good luck for the future! Still stays my all time favorite magazine! | |
