Do you remember when the only coverage of IGSA racing in Concrete Wave was whatever the Silverfish guys sent to me or published in their column each issue?  EBasil used to tell me over and over, "racing is the ultimate extension, put a speedboarder on the cover!" and I'd just smile, knowing he and Malakai would cover things on their own.  As time passes and the infectious stoke you Silverfishers exude has had an effect on me, we've now put TWO speedboarders on our cover, to great acclaim by all types of skater and the feedback from the Silverfish coverage of 2007's Festival of Speed convinced me to give IGSA's Marcus Rietema his own column in Concrete Wave.  -- M.Brooke, Publisher.
