NZ Surf Mag July/ August

While Spring is usually the season for new life and new beginnings, we’ve delivered a little early this year with the latest issue of NZ Surfing and the first issue as the new owner for Cory Scott and his team at Nowhere Man Limited. Straight from the depths of the Aoteroa Chiller, we bring you the Winter Interview Issue which features:

On the COVER we feature one of our Kiwi WQS battlers in Elliot Pearata-Reid and while NZ bathed in some epic consistent waves for winter, places like Indonesia simply lit up. So often we see and hear how brutal the WQS tour can be with miserable, dribbly waves. But while on Tour and having scored some great waves for the contest in Sumatra, Elliot stayed on for a few days after the comp and scored big time!
Interviews with a broad range of kiwi surfers from our pros to our industry to those out there in the world pioneering pathways in surfing. We catch up with Paige Hareb, Luke Cederman, Geoff Hutchieson, Christie Carter and Richard Christie.

Mangamaunu Under Threat: One of our most iconic surf breaks now faces an uncertain future under the cloud of proposed construction.

The Hard Yards: Faced with the cleanest and biggest manageable swell in a few years.

The Rip Curl Pro Raglan: Against all forecasting odds, for what looked like a miserable surf outlook for the 2018 Raglan Pro, Raglan delivered!

Back In The Hood- With Jay Quinn: After 15+ years being based overseas in Australia and more recently Europe, which placed Jay in the spotlight of surf media and sponsorship opportunities, Jay is now back home in the hood!

The Winter Survival Guide: We’ve collated a heap of tips from the experts to surviving winters elements and making your surfing experience all that more comfortable.

Winter Survival Guide

Let’s face it, while our Kiwi summers can be pretty legendary, we are hardly a tropical surf destination - despite our location as an island in the Pacific. Winter time can be harsh here. Yet, at the same time, winter can offer up some of the best waves of the year, although enjoying such sessions can sometimes be a battle. So with that in mind, we have gathered a range of winter surfing tips from the hardiest of southern Kiwi surfers, who through trial and error, and over generations, have become experts at getting the most out of a pumping winter session.
