Hey Casso, like everyone, sorry to hear the news and great job - very professional publication.
Having been involved with a Goatie mag for 5 years (Surf Ski Quarterly) I know how tough the small mag business is and the numbers really need to be there to make it worthwhile. I reckon if you worked out your hourly rate on this sort of thing it would be about what maccas pays a casual !
Just stuff like chasing advertisers is sooo time consuming, let alone the million other things involved in putting a mag together. One bloke managing to do all that is amazing!!
At least you might get some surfing and family time back
