What’s inside?

THE DECEMBER DIARIES
Issue 20 is all about getting back on the water. Some of us have dug deep and taken advantage of the awesome conditions that this time of year brings. Others are chomping at the bit to get back out. This issue we whet your appetite with a bone big enough for the slobbering Rottweiler in all of us.

We’ve taken inspiration from all the tales we’ve heard of riders getting out no matter what. We’ve sampled much of that winter fire and doused the pages of issue 20 with images and session notes from December 2005 through the eyes of riders and photographers across the world. Norway, France, Brazil, Hawaii and Wales – experience them all.

RAGING BULLS
We follow three of who many would consider to be the luckiest riders in the world as they swan about the planet for a year in search of monster waves. Tobias, Vari and Wilson launched their new movie Spare Change earlier this month, and we have the story of its making.

HANG ABOUT…THERE’S MORE!
20 of the world’s best riders dish out riding tips you simply can’t live without; we introduce one the UK’s hottest KGB talents, Alex Brown; Mike Richard’s tells a shaper’s story – how one shaper in California is leading the way in big wave surfing through his kiteboarding designs; and the IKO begin a series arming new recruits with all the gear and no idea with the knowledge they need to become safe intermediates.
