Tydle Magazine is the only magazine in print or online to exclusively feature Flatland Skimboarding. It is produced annually and released online to a worldwide audience. Tydle magazine is dedicated to everything Flatland oriented including spot checks, interviews, tips, travel, event coverage, all combined with a jaw dropping photo annual. Our staff is completely made up of veteran flatland skimboarders and has worked incredibly hard to bring creative content and world class photography to this publication.

Tydle Magazine is the end result of John Minns and Kyle Lynch’s efforts to create a small skim related publication. Our original idea was to design a local tide table catered to flatland skimboarders. It was to be about 60 pages, and include some sick photos, a couple of spot checks and a few ads from local shops. We certainly didn’t realize the cost of printing such a project, it quickly became out of the question for a few skimboarders to finance such a large undertaking. We were a bit frustrated but by no means were we giving up. As we searched for other options, it soon became apparent that the best way to create our publication was to put it on the internet. It was with this decision that a lot of our original ideas were thrown away and new ones sprung up in their place. Now that the cost of printing had been eliminated from the equation we were free to head in any direction we chose. Why not create something dedicated to the sport we love ... Flatland Skimboarding? We got pretty fired up by the idea. In the past Flatland skimboarding really hasn’t had an outlet to express itself and evolve. That settled it - flatland skimboarders were going to produce a magazine for flatland skimboarders, and Tydle was born.

John Minns - is one of the most highly respected flatland skimboarders in the world and the head of operations for Tydle Magazine. Minns leads the publication with an organized mind and a savvy business sense. Without him, the staff would surely run amok.

Kyle Lynch - is a veteran flatland skimboarder who makes his home in White Rock, Canada. Kyle is the art director for Tydle: his duties range from laying out pages, to designing and maintaining the Tydle website.

Travis Cole - is Tydle's marketing and sales guy. If you are interested in running an ad in the Magazine you most likely will be talking things over with Travis. Oh yeah and he skims.

Yuri Choufour - is the editor for the Tydle publication, and one of the top rail riders out there. We are happy that someone can spell and string together a proper sentence. How does it go subject verb noun .....ah yuri can you clean this mess up.
