The Cruel Summer issue brings you all the latest bodyboarding action from SA and around the world all packed into one colourful package with cheesy 80's music overtones.

We kick it off with coverage of SA's first carbon neutral music festival, Rocking the Daisies. We then delve into the brain of former south coast resident, Darren Halse, who is currently chasing precious World Tour points while holding down a full time job in dreary ol' England. We keep up with our regular fitness instalment that should have you ripping whenever the occasional swell comes our way this summer. We also managed to track down Colin Van Dongen for our Create section where we quiz him on his new DVD series, Don't Stop Dreaming. Then just in time for Christmas we profile the latest and greatest boards from the top guys in the business so you know exactly what Santa needs to drop in your stocking this year.

This is all neatly wrapped into what my art director describes as 'vomit inducing colour'. So grab a copy and enjoy.

Enjoy! ed. [Ian Kruger]
