What’s big, bright and full up with Saffa surf stoke? You guessed it. The latest Issue of Zag (Vol. 40.3) is hot off the press and busy making its way into retail outlets and postboxes this very moment. Among other things, this issue throws a magnifying glass over the El Nino season, and the incredible swells that were generated in contrasting ocean temperatures around the world. From the massive warm mountains over in Hawaii, to cold, cooking summer bombs back home – we’re sure you’ll enjoy reading the latest Zag as much as we enjoyed putting it together. Before you do so, here’s a Sneak Peek at what you can expect to find inside.
A bit of insight into the cover: While countless images of his have featured in the Zag for many years already, this is veteran water lensman Ian Thurtell’s first ever cover, featuring fellow Cape lensman Sacha ‘Spex’ Specker. Watch the On The Cover video, where we surprise Ian and Sacha with a blown up canvas to commemorate the moment.
