The best goods | Wavecave
A few weeks ago I was sent a link to a preview for a product which is soon to be released in the UK. Intrigued, I found myself on the homepage of the Wavecave, and a few days later I found myself unwrapping the test model. I headed to the coast for a surf and a test run.
Remembering Mark Neville
Police have now confirmed that the body of a man found on Fistral Beach last week was indeed surfboard shaper Mark Neville.
A sound investment
Chris Stevens considered surfers ear an old-wives tale, until he met Rob Shaddick, who learnt the hard way to look after his ears.

Moments we surf for
We still surf for a handful of moments. Moments that make the hours of trawling charts, freezing in rainy car parks and surfing inadequate waves worthwhile.
These moments don’t all have to be picture-perfect sun-drenched barrels. We paddle out into breaks all around the world, emerging with the same beaming smile from a mushy session at Saunton as the guy who just got slotted at an offshore, overhead Pipeline.
Face vs board – board wins
Earlier in the year I wrote about re-losing my surfing virginity in Australia.
After a couple of months out of the water I vowed that I’d spend as much time surfing as I possibly could – and never again would I be content spending that much time not riding waves.
