It all started at our parents’ houses back in 1997 on a dodgy PC. We were fuelled by junk food and cheap Malaysian. In 2003 we started First Floor Publishing so we could have a home for all three of our magazines - Manual, Staple and Spoke.

Manual is now New Zealand's leading skateboarding and snowboarding culture magazine, featuring national and international coverage of skateboarding, snowboarding, music and art, with an emphasis on quality photography, illustration and graphic design.

If you want to contribute to Manual or have any questions (or insults), drop us a line. manual@firstfloor.co.nz

Manual costs NZ$9.90 (plus postage) a copy and is published four times a year - March, June, September and December. Check the stockists' page for where to buy it.
