Jersey boy goes huge on the cover of our new issue!

Yes, this is Jersey boy James Hick on a beast of a wave, one he rightly calls one of the best of his life. We love it when British and Irish surfers chase dreams and push boundaries. In this issue James and Ferg charge Western Australia. We also sent top young guns Toby Donachie and Jayce Robinson off to the southern atolls of the Maldives with one of the worlds foremost aerialists Ry Craike. They all ended up in mankinis. It’ a funny story, you’ve got to read it…

Also this issue we hook up with the hottest young surfers and media types in the world right now in What Youth. Kai Neville (him off Modern Collective and Lost Atlas) and his crew are railing against the barrage of digital dross we are faced with daily and have produced a new feature film out called Dear Surburbia and it will blow your mind…They have also decided to do magazines which they call books. We asked why. They told us to fuck off.

Plus Mickey Smith discusses how it’s the land and seas of your childhood that shape you and how such places mould a man. Powerful stuff from one of surfing’s most interesting thinkers. AND 48 hours of Cornish summer, AND the best Boardmasters to date. AND…much much more. On sale this weekend. Buy it. It will educate and entertain!
