The every-other-month infusion of stoke known as the 'Fish Report is the only reason to buy Concrete Wave Magazine for 68% of readers, according to a scientific study.  Here's the Winter '09 version of the Fish Report in full-on mongo-sized (but not pushed) PDF format!

Michael Brooke: What was it like being a part of the ‘70s skate scene? Chris Carmichael: Living in southern California in the early ‘70s was the epicenter for surfing and skateboarding. I was 14 years old when my grandfather gave me my first movie camera. I started surfing and entering contests and became No. 1 in 1969, in the boys division in the US. This also continued the following year in the Junior Men’s division. I was No. 1 in 1970 and 1971.
