The latest Issue of Zag (Vol. 40.2) is out! And after reading a copy you’ll find out that with the new year there’s also been a changing of the editorial guard at Zag HQ. After being in the hot seat for over a decade, former Ed Will Bendix has handed over the reigns to longtime Online Editor, Calvin Bradley – AKA ‘Senior.’ But as former Ed and guiding guru Craig Sims once said: “No one ever really owns the Zag, there are merely custodians of the magazine.”

While there’s a new Ed on the block, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to make sure that we continue to produce the same great magazine as we have done for the past forty years.
After eight long years of feeding the web beast, ‘Senior’ finally gets to hold his first-ever copy of the Zag as the new Editor in Chief, on his birthday nogal! We’re sure there’s some symbolism there…
So go forth, brothers and sisters of the surf, and enjoy the latest issue – who’s pages we’re sure will fuel many a pre and post-surf mission – but before you do so, check out a SNEAK PEEK of what’s inside below:
