Editorial

It’s almost 20 years to the day since the first-ever issue of IKSURFMAG was published. We actually got the issue out sometime in September, but I was working on it for most of August, so I may have been sitting here writing the editorial on this very day many moons ago! That’s a scary, but also exciting prospect: 20 years of making magazines, creating content, and loving every minute of being involved in this awesome sport.
