A quiver approach
Purveyor of fine surf films Chris Preston shares the contents of his shed with us, pulling out a few foam gems and some unexpected items.
Goods
Queen Bee
Australian longboarder Belinda Baggs’ graceful surfing style makes her one of the most instantly recognisable female gliders. Deeply insightful and highly in tune with nature and her surroundings, her love of the ocean has not only seen her surfing waves all over the world but also try to give a little back, offering help by bringing supplies to communities struggling in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami and acting as an ambassador for environmental awareness.

Andrew Crockett Road Trip
Just received this beautiful little slide show of Andrew Crockett (author of Switch Foot and Switch Foot II) and friends on a trip from Byron to NSW, from his Hodaddy newsletter.
The bees’ knees
Listen up chaps, this isn’t some kind of girly skincare thing. Even the hardiest man has to admit to owning a little pot of Vaseline or some lip balm, right? But do you ever think about what goes into your grease of choice?
Shoot from the hip
John Isaac and his crew of hot dogs and hep cats at the Revolver Surf Emporium have their fingers firmly on the pulse of Kernow’s surf culture.
Wrapping up the trip
I spent most of last Thursday morning watching Josh shaping my new board. From his hands sprang an amazing Long Fish Simmons, mixing the best elements of the Skip Frye design with some of his own design touches. She looks great and all the details make sense – I’m sure it’s a keeper!
Josh Hall hits Portugal
Josh Hall finally arrived in Lisbon on 22 November to kick off the Portuguese leg of his European shaping tour. Thankfully, the following day dawned bright and blue – a welcome change from the rain and clouds of the previous week, and perfect conditions for a trip along the coast.
