There’s a storm brewing. Well at least three storms we hope. No. Not over the Olympic debacle – that’s a typhoon in full swing already, although we’ve covered that in-depth for you as well – but for the long-anticipated return of the Red Bull Storm Chase. This time it’s got serious, and global, and Klaas Voget talks us though what’s gonna be what when the wind exceeds 54 knots somewhere on earth.

Heavy weather requires a tough mind and body and we find out how Dany Bruch has transformed from bit part player and done The Hard Yards to make the PWA Top-5, all while organising a World Tour Event in his back yard in Tenerife.

Elsewhere, in a concept test, we took Maui Ultra Fin’s innovative Delta Shape for a spin and also reviewed the Inflatable Handirack.

There’s also a preview in the run-up to the first European Freestyle ProKids Tour event in Marseille, eco updates from the +H2O crew and technique from Mattia Pedrani whose TipClip demonstrates the Double Puneta and Lars Petersen who outlines the useful and stylish Slam Gybe.

Tuck in, enjoy and thanks for sharing it online with your friends.
