Without an outstanding group of photographers making contributions to Soggybones, our magazine wouldn't exist. To honour these creatives we've collected the best images submitted to us throughout 2011 and printed them in a limited release photo annual. The entire book is dedicated to photographs of surfing, skateboarding and fine women. A grip of artwork also features for good measure. The cover features Barry Mansfield sidewalk surfing in Perth, Western Australia. You'll have to wait till next winter to try your luck at sidewalk surfing, but you can grab a copy of this piece of SB history today. Photo by Luke Thompson.  

If your constantly burying your head inside surf mag's there's a good chance you would have lurked a grip of amazing photographs shot by Tasmanian photgrapher, Stu Gibson. To be frank, Stu is up there with the best photographers in the business, so we wanted to introduce you to the man, properly. Inside 666 you'll learn a lot about Stu and his journey as a photographer and no doubt you'll enjoy the tight selection of photographs he has hand selected for this story. This is one read you don't wanna miss!

If I could be 17 again, I'd take a trip back in time. School's over, house parties are churning, girls are prime, you've got wheels and your surfing with your mates on the daily. All you care about is making the most of everyday because soon enough you'll be looking for a wage. Creed McTaggart is living the life of a 17 year old surfer, but unlike most groms hooking around with boards, Creed gets paid a crust to do so. Soggybones Editor, Justin Ward hit the road and spent some quality time with Creed in Margaret River to bring you this epic read about the life of a pro junior shredder named, yep you guessed it, Creedles. 

This story takes you on a very intimate tour inside Atomic Bomb Industries. A magical place curated by a man called Drew Chilcott, where only the best tasting beer and rum flow endlessly. Classic bobbers and hotrods are modified and worked to perfection by gifted hands using items such as skate wheels and beer cans, or whatever else is readily available. The sound of punk music and skateboards blasting the indoor mini ramp fills the air, and if you're in need of a fresh hair-cut or a new pair of threads, you've come to the right place. Atomic Industries is a dreamy land that is very fucking real, you just have to find it! 

Anthony Robles does a top job of summing up blue collar skateboarding. Nine to fiving monday through friday to make a living at Vox footwear in San Diego. His weekends are sacred, reserved for skateboarding and spending time with his closest homies. Robles is as humble as they come. With Robles, skateboarding isn't about unnecessary hype or self whoring, that's the last thing on his mind when he steps on his board. So, when Soggybones Skate Editor, Brian Blakely said Anthony was down to shoot for a feature and share a few words in SB, we knew we had a rare opportunity to share a relatively unknown but extremely true character with our community. 

If you ever find the need to listen to the radio you might agree with me when I say that most of the music being pushed upon our ears is borderline torture. Well, thankfully that isn't the case with our next music feature. There music's tight. Meet Mike Deslandes and the band he united who go by the name of Coerce. This story takes a step inside the band, their new album titled 'Ethereal Surrogate Saviour', and Deslands main venture 'Capitalsound Studios', as the explosive front man converses with Justin Ward about everything he knows and loves about his music-orientated lifestyle. 

Louis Gervais is a total art freak. In less than two days he finished the art for our Soggybones edition Six_Hundred [And] Sixty-Six covers. Who does that? Apparently he just locked himself in his room with a packet of cigarettes, enough beer and art supplies, and went to work until it was a wrap. Nope, the kid doesn't fool around when it comes to art. Although his high school art teacher might argue the contrary. But at the end of the day what his teachers' had to say about him as a teen really wasn't worth investigating, at all. All the proof about how talented Louis is as an artist is right here in this edition of Soggybones. 

Madison Shepherd is a fine specimen who lives and lurks around the beautiful streets of Perth. In this edition you'll get to know what Madison loves and hates about a whole range of topics including sex, drugs, men, women and much more.

There might even be a few hot images of Madison looking fine inside some random dudes back shed. I guess you'll have to buy a copy to find out.
