Burkard Does It Again

Chris Burkard has landed another iconic cover with his shot of Josh Mulcoy banking a lip in Alaska with a beautiful snow-capped mountain as the backdrop. Much of the chatter on social media is hailing this as one of the best Surfer Magazine covers of all time. We tend to agree. Nice work Burky!
