TAKE OFF
Shedding Skin:
Married with kids and get feeling that the chance of a six month surf trip to Chile is on ice for now? Well it’s yours for the taking, Manu Bouvet explains how.
Live Deliberately:
Slyvain Demercastel returns to the green interior of Central America for animal noises 24/7 and an empty line up.
Fighting Fear:
Why surf a heaving, black, cold, dangerous slab? Because it’s there, and you’re at your best when you’re a bit scared, according to Finn Mullen.
The Cascades:
Have you ever wondered what happens when you paddle up to the base of a cascading waterfall, bigger than Niagara? Brandon Harrop can tell you all about it.
The 38th Parallel:
One thousand visitors a year make it in (and presumably out) of North Korea; Sarah Hebert is probably the first to surf there on an inflatable board…
The Eleven Cities:
Kind of like a combination of the Tour de France and Canterbury Tales, the surreal 11 Cities Tour through the Netherlands is the king of endurance races and this is what it feels like…
The Bukit List:
Ulu’s, Balangan, Bingin and Bintangs; Jonno Slater charges it all on his sup and has cleared a path for you too (as long as you behave).
Liquid Potholes:
Definitely the first abseiling sup photo we’ve ever seen; Tobi Hatje brings multi-disciplining to a new level on a Bavarian white
water trip.
PULL IN
How to handle a Stubby:
At the other end of the scale, compact surf shapes can have you scratching your head at first. Finn Mullen provides a handy walk-through.
Paddle Science:
Cut back on your exercise, move more instead, your paddling will thank you for it!
How to handle a MegaSUP:
You’ll be grinning like a shot fox from the get go but there are some things to consider in the surf and when taking non paddlers.
The Bottom Turn:
Don’t leave home without it. Rob Small talks us through the most important turn in surfing and provides a few remedies for common ailments.
The Primary Survey:
Reef cuts, boards to the head, motorbike crashes, shark bites…there is potential for nastiness at home and abroad, but would you know what to do when TSHTF?
