The 8th issue of POP Magazine is due in stores shortly and features interviews with World Champion Mick Fanning and Western Australian charger Jay Davies. We also talk with New Zealand born skater Pascal Leniston and snowboarder Nick Gregory. Irwin Fletcher is back again with excessive rage, we take a look at the best ads of 2007 and Ben Hoban talks with Picture Wheels founder Ben O’Neil. There’s no internationals this issue but there’s still free mobile content thanks to MagLink. And of course POP Magazine is still free and is still printed with environmentally friendly inks and paper!

The online version will be available as soon as the paper issue hits the shops but until then, enjoy the sneak peak cover shot. It was slated to be a surf photo but given the overwhelming votes for a snow cover in our recent online poll we switched it to this shot of Charles Beckinsale switch nose pressing some picnic benches on the sandy shores of Lake Tahoe. Great shot Liam Kaska and Charles, you’re as smooth as ever!
