A big welcome to the August issue. There’s a Maui theme to kick-start this month with a celebratory look at Maui Fin Company’s 25 years in business on the valley isle. From humble beginnings they’ve grown massively but are keeping it real despite their superstar team’s status and forays into eyewear and fashion. Hell, we even got Kevin Pritchard and Francisco Goya to give you some insight and advice on fins!
Next up we’ve got a movie exclusive from umi pictures who present BRA Boys - a tribute to the title-winning Brazilians who rock our world at Ho’okipa.
It’s off to the Hawaii of the Atlantic next when PWA Commentator and competitor Ben Proffitt talks us through his ‘Ben’s Eye View’ of the summer action on the Canaries leg of the World Tour.
There’s technique galore starting with Mattia Pedrani's latest Tip Clip focusing on the mind-bending Air Funnell. The next trick to pick comes from Lars Petersen who analyses the Willy Skipper – perhaps the most attainable sliding stunt for the summer?
Talking of fun in the sun, Michael Rossmeier shows us how they roll in Italy with a report from the Shaka Bump ‘n Jump contest on Lake Garda where gladiatorial competitors hurl themselves off the wake of a massive speedboat packed with spectators.
Watch out for more Bonus Features throughout August to keep your appetite for action sated!
Thanks for reading and sharing us online with your friends. Enjoy! Brian
