“Now we’re having fun.”

Truth and consequences…

The Silver Surfer • Bianca Buitendag reflects on her surfing career, and the culminating achievement of a silver medal at the Olympic Games – among other, more important things.

Dissident Nature • If you’ve ever driven around Durban, Cape Town or Makhanda, your eyes will have taken in the larger-than-life street murals of Mook Lion.

Zen and the Art of Lockdown Survival • How building my first surfboard became a journey of self-discovery.

COMBO - LAND

WILD SEAS • THOMAS PESCHAK BECAME A MARINE BIOLOGIST BECAUSE HE WANTED TO PROTECT THE NATURAL WORLD. HE SOON DISCOVERED THAT PHOTOGRAPHING WILD OCEAN SPACES, AND THE ANIMALS THAT EXIST THERE, HAD A GREATER IMPACT ON CONSERVATION

LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD SESSIONS • Those short serendipitous moments when perfect conditions and quality surfers combine to create something greater. Here, we recall a few landmark sessions that have defined performance, perfection, or how far the limits can be pushed. From the personal to the collective, from nostalgia to more recent histories, we’re looking back but forever moving forward.
