The Ink has dried; Australian Powerhouse Wade Carmichael cements his relationship with wetsuit manufacturer C-Skins for three more years.
Championship tour regular Wade has spent the last three years head-to-head with the worlds best and has consistently stood out with his awe-inspiring brand of power surfing, winning Rookie of the year as a freshman in 2018 and consolidating his position on the tour, regularly placing in the top 10 through-out 2019.
Wade couldn’t be happier about remaining in the C-Skins fold. “I’m super stoked to be continuing the relationship with an awesome wetsuit company run by great people.” says the humble 28 year old. “The wetsuits have always performed so well for me, so I feel really confident jumping back into them.”
As an elite surfer, Wade understands the importance of having the proper hardware around him – “Having full faith in my equipment is so important to me. Wearing C-Skins wetsuits on the colder stops on tour gives me a real advantage and great confidence to perform at my peak.”
“Wade continues to be a great fit for C-Skins,” explains Mark Brown, Technical Director at C-Skins. “Wade has always enjoyed wearing our suits, and his feedback to our design team has helped to move our products forwards, so we’re stoked to have him staying on.”
Both Wade and C-Skins are looking forward to an exciting future ahead.

The waves at Alaia Bay are suited for all skill levels, from beginners to, well, Zeke Lau. He recently jumped on the opportunity to get some waves and experience Switzerland, leaving behind his boardshorts and the tropical waters of Hawaii for a 5-mil and a change of scenery.

HELLO!
Sorry it has been some time. Lockdown, Brexit and a landslide of photos from all corners of Britain and Ireland have caused some disruption of late. But here we are, kicking off 2021 with a new issue, new features, but the same stoke. I think this was an exceptional winter. Heaven or hell depending on how close to the beach you live or how stringently you kept lockdown travel rules. Personally, I took to the spirit and didn’t travel to some of my favourite waves that I deemed outside of my community. So, hell for me for a while. Although I do take pleasure when the inbox starts pinging with shots of you lot out enjoying yourselves. And ping it did. To the point where it nearly took out our hard drives. So, this issue is filled with all the action and reaction from what could have been one of the best ever. Or worst. See what you think… Also, we catch up with Tom Lowe, who has had an amazing run at Jaws, Mavs and Pipe. So good to see him repping our big wave crew. Alys Barton has been ripping lately, so Mark Vaughan caught up with her to find out what lays ahead. The Isle of Wight has good waves and a solid crew, but this issue we finally get proof. Plus George Watt gives us the rundown on Fraserburgh. And there’s lots more. So dig in. Glad you are here… glad we are all here to be honest! Hope you enjoy.
