EUROPE: THE GENESIS
The drone of four giant Rolls Royce engines is nearly unbearable, like an orchestra of jackhammers, but somewhere along the eleven-hour flight from New York to Luxembourg, my head has stopped rattling and I’ve mentally added up the money we’ve saved by flying on Icelantic Airlines (fare: $319 round trip).
...LOST PRESENTS 5'5" 19 1/4
The rebirth of the shape that changed the surf world forever: 5' 5" 19 1/4 Redux. Watch Gorkin, Mendia, Lopez, and Slater display the flexibility of the fish while Cory Lopez scores a wave called "the new Cape St. Francis" in Africa.
KELLY SLATER LOVES GOLF
Pro surfers have been taken lately by another passion: Golf. We caught up with Kelly Slater, who has been heralded as the best surfing golfer in the world, to find out what the two have in common and why Slater can't get off the greens.
SHAUN TOMSON SPEAKS OUT
Shaun Tomson thinks the ASP needs help. He calls for more pros and less bros in the business of professional surfing to help advance our sport onward and upward.
QUEST FOR FIRE
In their search for surf through India's wave-rich Andaman Islands, a crew of Americans travel back “to the earliest beginnings of the world.”
