Trigger Finger
Ask any top surf coach and the two elements they will concentrate on and recommend are a solid bottom turn and being able to develop speed - as they say, speed is your friend, and many of the best surfers on the planet also happen to be the fastest surfers.

Introducing
We're reserving this spot for those local guys & girls that adorn surf spots the length of Aotearoa, living for the purity and stoke of each and every surf at their local. They don't chase the limelight, nor really care what is going on amongst the world surfing scene. They're just surfing for the love of it, whenever they can. This issue we're introducing a man, who when it comes to being from NZ, has a rather unfortunate nickname of ‘Sheep.’ Mt Maunganui local, Alex 'Sheep' Sutherland shares some life facts.

Behind The Cover
On the 11th Of February at approximately 12:13PM spawned by the fury of a tropical depression hundreds of kilometres out to sea, a gigantic lump of water made its way toward the East Coast of NZ, honing in on a relatively small piece of rock slab off the coast of the Mahia Peninsula. While there had been some monumental waves ridden at this reef dubbed ‘Big Brother’ several timed over the last eight years, nothing had ever been seen so large and angry as this lump of water.

The East Side Dream Run
It’s no secret that the East Coast of our country aside from the zones of Gisborne and Dunedin can be fickle beasts, with long flat swells and short period wind swells usually being the staple diet.
