Balinese shred head Marlon Gerber on the cover of the December issue of Transworld SURF. Photo: Bosko.

A lot of heads out there are saying that the latest cover of Transworld SURF is the best cover shot ever. I may be biased, but I think our latest cover is amazing. Shot in Bali by legendary Australian lensman, Peter “Bosko” Boskovic, it portrays a strapping young Balinese man, Marlon Gerber, executing a dynamic floating maneuver (I love how you can see the trails from his fins, I’m like, tripping out on it right now). The water is aqua-love, the logo is a day-glow fun zone, and the moment is caught at the absolute perfect time. In short, we (the Transworld staff) love this cover, but we want to know what you think, so tell us: Is this cover a banger, or should I just shut up?—Chris Cote

Inside the new issue of Transworld SURF: Bali Bandwagon, a Shred Manual to Central America, and a surf and dive trip to Tahiti entitled Drop Zone. Check it on newsstands now!

Crank Up “Chem Trails” by Beck while viewing cover

Headline should have read:

“New Transworld Surf Cover causes Hallucinations!”

Nice job by the design/art peeps on this cover….

Well if you compare it to that weird photo issue cover you guys had, it is most definitely the best cover ever. But if you compare it to other covers over the years, I think claiming it as the best cover ever might be the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. It feels nice to jerk off though so I know how you dudes feel. Give it another crank.

I half agree with Satan, it is a better cover than the Photo issue one, and it’s most def one of the best covers i’ve seen in the last few year. It takes a big shit on the last two covers of Ing and Er, that’s for sure. It’s pretty funny that the transworld guys are giving themselves so much props on their own cover, though—they must have small dicks.

It’s not the best cover I’ve seen but it is really good. I agree with Surfturkey. It’s way better than the last couple er and ing covers. The new Surfer Bruce/Donovan cover is terrible and the ing “green issue” I mean Rob Machado wack fest issue. just because a guy has an afro and plays the guitar doesn’t make him an environmentalist.

The best? I don’t know, but solid. Props to Transworld puting the contents on the inside flap like they do. It’s so easy to find stuff in the mag.
