Some Kind of Magic

Some places just have it all: the waves, the people, the atmosphere, and that feeling that keeps pulling you back. In this issue, we explore the coastlines and surf communities that make surfing so special. From the perfect barrels of the Mentawais to the cold, beautiful waves of Northeast England and the buzz of Rio’s beaches. We celebrate our connection to the ocean – and the places that stay with you long after you’ve left.
Because it’s not always the best waves that make somewhere memorable. Often, it’s the people you meet, the culture you become part of and the experiences you share along the way. Laure Mayer takes us into Brazil’s local surf community, we talk art, surfing and embracing imperfection with French artist Marynn Letemplier, and we meet women surfing through pregnancy in an extreme climate.
Closer to home, our winter survival guide gets you ready for the colder months, with tried-and-tested tips for staying warm and winter gear that will help you keep surfing, whatever the weather.
Enjoy the issue – and wherever you’re surfing, we hope you find a little magic of your own.
