Issue 5 Corrections, Updates, etc.

March 28th, 2008 by bbr | Posted in General

Below is a list of some updates and corrections we’ve made to Issue 5 since it first came out. All the changes have been made, but if you scoped the mag when it first came out you might have seen it before we made these updates.

- Two shots in the Sammy Garcia interview were mistakenly credited to Steve Sandoval when they were actually taken by the talented photographer and bodyboarder Andrew Westerman. The black & white stand-up hack and the prone barrel water shot (with the cliffs in the background) were both by Mr. Westerman. Sorry about that Andrew we owe you a beer.

- In the Light Gallery, the unknown Oceanside dropkneer (in the shot by Chris Burkard) has been identified as San Diego DK shredder Wally Sani.

- In the Pipeline contest article, we mistakenly identified the dude doing the roll at Backdoor as Michael Novy when it was in fact Spencer Skipper.

- We accidentally named photographer Tony D’Andrea as Tony Andrea throughout the mag. We appologize for this mistake, especially considering Tony hooked us up with so many epic shots. Thanks Tony!

- When the mag first came out we didn’t credit Nick Statom for the Ben Player video edit on the first page of his interview.

- We’ve reformatted the Expedition ad so the video is quite a bit bigger now.

- We added a sequence of Tyler Wiemann getting a long barrel in the first page of the Short Bus article.
