Anyone who’s traveled abroad will be quick to tell you that there is no place like home. But it’s not just our double coastline and world class surf that makes Mzansi what it is – it’s the people. So for the fourth of our anniversary issues this year, we celebrate some of the diverse characters who make surfing in SA what it is, and in turn what makes our tip of the world such a special place to be as a surfer. The latest Issue of Zag (Vol. 40.4) is currently landing in stores and subscribers post boxes nation wide, we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. In the mean time, here’s a taste of what you can expect to find inside.
