The Shire



Black Wednesday
Oh no he just did’nt! Yes he did, Kevin Langeree scores possibly the best cold water waves we’ve seen in this magazine. He gets barrelled. He charges. He swoops on the towering green faces.

Galicia

Marked on British Admiralty maps till 1984 with ‘here be dragons’ and a drawing of a sea monster attacking a galleon, Northern Spain is off most people’s radars. Tom Court wants to put it back on though, and here’s why.

BVI

Sam Light and Alex Fox, two riders with nouns for surnames, board a cat, two words with double meanings, in the British Virgin Islands. We’ll leave it there.

Ride Along Mauritius

Alby Rondina is your wingman on the water and at the resort bar, and let us tell you he knows his way around the nooks and crannies of Le Morne. One Eye, the lagoon, eager tourists, they’re all up for the taking.

Middle Earth

Lew’s views

Red Bull King of the Air. Extra special this year seeing as Dimitri didn’t get in. Lewis runs us through the selection and judging criteria.

Zandvoort

Rens van der Schoot seems to live in a very civilised part of the world, the Netherlands actually, and he’s a member of a Rotarian kitesurfing club. He tells us about their handshakes.

A Dangerous Man

If he’s not jumping from cranes he’s confusing minds by dressing up as a stubbly schoolgirl. Nick Jackobsen talks about his new Cabrinha signing and kite, the FX.

#Hannahgate

Some have suggested that Miss Whitely looked a bit wobbly in her heels walking down stairs. But do they know she used to walk up ladders with bricks on her shoulders? #hodcarrier. Read on and find out more.

Mordor

Backhand Snap

Flat 3: Tommy Gaunt. There’s  a man who’s made a nice life for himself in the BVIs. He takes a break from teaching bikini’d tourists to show us a root manoeuvre.

Pop Shuvit

Reo Stevens has it all. He’s a barrel magnet, hucks serious man turns, and can also do the flick-flacky-flippy stuff such as the pop shuvit, right here.

Court’s Council

Ever cerebral, Mr. Court charts the evolution of the twin tip. We suggest you enjoy this one with a decent port.

Tested

In Brazil! Crazyfly Tango, Naish Park for the kites, and for the slab hunters Ocean Rodeo Surf Series, Cabrinha Secret Weapon, North Pro Series, and AXXIS New Wave.

Tool Shed

They’ve put Hadlow in the freezer to test the efficacy of different wetsuits.

Depth of Field
Toffee? No. Thanks. But Tofino? Oh yes please! Treacle coloured goodness from Vancouver Island’s sweetest surf spot.

And you can now of course find us on the Apple Newsstand, Googleplay and on Magzter…. Enjoy!
