I just checked it out and all of the issues are online. It is pretty freaking sweet. You can make it full screen and turn it page by page. It's a pretty sick idea. I'm sure some folks will be losing some time at work today.

So,we all got our bonus issues!

Here you go,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wake Revolution: The Standerd Releases All Issues Online

August 1st, 2008, Orlando, FL – In a surprise move, The Standerd announced today that all issues are available to view online, in their entirety, at www.StanderdOnline.com.

Other digital magazines are emerging, but The Standerd's site has one very significant difference -- it's absolutely free. No credit card or personal information needed.

It's a revolutionary step forward, not only because of the worldwide exposure for wake sports, but as an example of a radical way to successfully produce both a print and digital version of a publication.

The print version of the quarterly books will continue to be produced in their usual limited-run fashion, making each physical issue even more of a collector's item for core wake fans.

One month after each official book release, the digital version will be posted. August 1st marks the digital release of Book 2.2 (print edition released July 1, 2008), as well as all past issues.

With the online launch, the reader-supported publication expands its reach to a global audience. "We want the whole world to see what our subscribers already know."

"Our unique perspective shows the lifestyle, action and beauty of wake like no other magazine. The number one goal has always been to enrich and advance wake sports, so free digital issues made perfect sense. We couldn't be more stoked to announce this," says Senior Photographer Joey Meddock.

While the online version broadcasts The Standerd's content to the world at an instant, subscribers are rewarded every quarter with stickers, DVDs and more included in their printed issues.

“Because our books have super high-quality printing and paper, an online version still can't match the subscriber experience of getting the issue in your mailbox," said Art Director James Krawczyk. "And now that there's an online version, subscribers can expect even more swag with their books every time."

In some cases, the digital versions offer a way to resurrect issues that are sold out, like Book 2.1 from this past April. "Barnes & Noble, board shops and subscribers scooped up 2.1 quick, so this gives anyone who missed the print version a way to still enjoy the book," said Meddock.

The Standerd is an award-winning wake magazine founded by top photographers Joey Meddock and Josh Letchworth. Each quarterly book features over 400 exclusive photos, engaging writing, innovative graphic design and very few ads. The reader-supported publication proudly limits advertising to keep the focus on the sport and quality content.

As wakeboarding and wakeskating continue to grow and progress, The Standerd is making a major leap forward in the digital revolution.

It's not bad to buy those issues. It's that support that allows them to even create an issue in the first place. i think that part is important to remember.

Oh, it's also important to remember that the standerd is bad to the bone. But I bet you already know that.

(solo) · (solo) **Join Date: Oct 2001** 08-01-2008, 4:28 PM

Electricsnow, you are absolutely right. Supporting the industry allows them to bring this content to the net. Don't be cheap go order the next issue. They're worth every penny.

Plus how many people really want to take their laptop to the toilet with them?

Lol!

word

I love having the actual magazine. The books are not your regular mag. They are something you can leave on the coffee table. Quality paper and first class photography. Most people i show them to think its a photobook not a magazine.

but i do like online versions so i can browse at work. but it doesnt replace a hard copy imo.

It is great that they have put these out there for everyone, but sitting there and leafing through a new Standerd makes it worth the purchase price. They are impressive compilations.
