The selection process for the front cover of this Issue was a little bit
different. The usual array of breath taking imagery flooded our inbox,
and the customary discussions took place over the merits of each. Then a
piece of artwork from Nathan Ledyard arrived to HQ and stopped us dead
in our tracks. Surfing Life designer Dave Read thought out loud that’d
it’d make a cool cover. And that was that. Discussions closed. In 32-years
of Surfing Life never have we had a shorter and more unanimous
front cover discussion. Before we had even one article written for this
magazine, we already had our front cover.
