Sneak Peek: In This Issue

• SURFER PROFILE: BRUCE IRONS

  Enigmatic, unpredictable, and possibly the most talented surfer of his generation, Bruce Irons is at a crossroads. No longer a Dream Tour warrior or the next big thing, we dispatched Lewis Samuels to Kauai to find what his next act is, or if he even has one.

• EXPOSURE

  SURFER’s staff photographers went to the Gold Coast and brought back some gems. A photo gallery from shortboarding’s paradise.

• FUTURE HEROES

  If surfing was a Buick, youth would be the gasoline. This issue we’ve profiled eight kids who we see doing big things. Call ‘em “groms” if you will…we think of them as surfing’s “future heroes.”
