Sidenotes


Hi Everyone,

Thank you guys so much for your support and interest in this project. A lot of you have expressed a desire for a printed version, so we just wanted to let you know where things currently stand. This magazine has been put together entirely during our free time, intended to be a gift and a resource for others to use and enjoy. Since the public release, it's been great to read comments and emails from those of you who are enjoying it and would like to see it go to print, and to be honest, we would love for that to happen as well. While there is the benefit of a global audience and easy accessibility online, there is something special to hold a physical copy in your hands, and of course, the opportunity of using it to reach others away from computer screens becomes an option.

So, if you like the idea of a Christian surfing magazine, you can help. Sharing it with friends is a great start. Praying is essential. Putting links on your facebooks, myspace, twitter and things like that is helpful. Getting the word out is a big help, that's the whole idea, to point others to God through the interest of surfing. If you want to see it go to print, we need financial help. Not for us to make money, just for the cost of printing, it's not cheap. So pray about it, and if you want to be involved, that's awesome.

As for future issues, that too is unclear. We looked at this as way: we were going to use our talents of photography and graphic design for the Lord. We weren't going for the monthly magazine, but more of a magazine that we could show our friends, family and others. The idea was to get that done and if the opportunity arose to print or do more issues, great, if not, great. So the future is unknown to us and we feel good about that. As for those who want to help, you can email us at the address below, or you can copy and paste this code into your website to embed a page-flipping version of Reversal Magazine and/or the book of John.

Thanks again!

  1. Welcome everyone to Reversal Magazine. We hope you enjoy it and your input would be great. Thanks

  2. Do your thing Lord.

  3. This is REALLY cool! You’ve done a great job at being true to the foundation of who you are in Christ while also being true to the surfing culture. The only question I have is where can I get printed copies of this magazine? Printing the whole thing off everytime to leave in my office for people to browse through will be difficult and won’t effectively show how professional a job you’ve done with all of this:)!

  4. Very cool! I like the photos, the graphics, the lack of advertisements, the articles, and the overall message of truth! Great job guys, so when is issue two coming out?

  5. Dude– LOVE it! Thank you for putting this together! It makes me get THAT much more excited about surfing to know that there are Christian surfers out there! I’m also totally interested in a printed copy! Can you make that happen? :)

  6. Great job on the mag – love the photos too! How can we get printed copies of the mag and the bonus Gospel of John for local outreach?

  7. Great job on the mag and spreading of the Word! Go San O!

  8. This is a very exciting project! Like many of the other commentators, I’d like to know how I can purchase bulk quantities of the printed magazine for physical distribution. If print was too expensive an undertaking, perhaps there are enough of us to underwrite the cost. It’s worth getting this magazine to the streets. Please let me know how I can help. Thanks for your tenacity and perseverance over the years. T-shirts would be cool!! IN HIM

  9. Very nice mag, I would be interested in a printed mag as well. i would definitely subscribe.

  10. Unfortunately, there are no printed copies as of right now. We’ll see what happens though, and if they become available, information will be put up on this website. Thanks!

  11. Love it. Like everyone else I’m craving more and printed copies would be awesome! It would be cool to have a stack of these in my car when I go surf!

    Aloha.

  14. Hey, great job on this project! This mag rocks because our GOD rocks. Best wishes for the success of this online (for now) mag.

  15. P.S. Noah, your photo essay is very rad. Give GOD the glory!

  16. Looks great how can I order a subscriptsion the other surf mags are a poor choice for my boys Thanks for this!

  17. I am really glad to see a Christian focused magazine. It’s cool to see how God even sends missionaries out into the water. The stories were interesting and the pictures were beautiful. I lost my breath a few time, so vivid. Thanks for following the calling! Psalm 119:105

  18. Fab mag if only it wasn’t so slow – and certain pages wouldn’t load!!

    Other than that, thank you all for this mag that reaches out to what is sometimes a neglected group of Christians. Keep up the good work….

  19. Managed to get a proper look this time…absolutly fab and awe inspiring. Loving the photography and lay out, it’s so fresh. Thanks you :)

  20. Lovin’ the online mag. But, as others agree, a printed version WOULD be awesome. I live on a christian missionary ship that goes around the world, and although we don’t always have internet access (and limited when we do), we do get mail regularly. There are plenty of guys and gals on the ship who would love reading this mag. We’ll be praying for it!

  21. I think its totally awsome and inspiring! the pictures are incredible and so realistic! Thanks for making this about god theres not many to choose from that are good to look at. : ) : )

  22. da best. Keep it going! Thank you

  23. Just checked out your site and it rocks.

    you guys are doing awesome work – would love to get some copies to hand out.
