The Winter Survival Issue
Delivered straight from the moods of this winter’s oceans, This issue of NZ Surfing showcases what we have right here on our very own shores. While this may take a hardier approach to taking on the elements through winter, these sessions right here on our home shores showcase what incredible world-class waves we do have right here under our noses. 

Firstly, on the number 1 page, we feature ‘Big Guy’ Matty Hewitt on the COVER, these days Matty has taken a backward step from chasing the dream of being a pro-surfer and has settled into a career as an electrician. While work comes first, Matty always hopes that the best swell of the year just might coincide with some time off so he can score his local, and on this given day that just so happened to go down. 

Next we hit the road over July and August scoring several epic sessions at various locations from the original kiwi surf spot in Piha, to one the world longest left-handers up in the Winterless North and then across to a relatively secluded point break on the East Cape. There’s nothing as good as a roady with mates and the banter, laughs and good times that go down on these and this Winter we scored! Proving you don’t need to take off to the tropics.

As part of our Winter Survival Feature we get the inside knowledge from two top gurus in Olly Farley who gives us a few surf specific fitness tips to get through winter and we focus on mental health with Sir John Kirwan who shares with us a few stories of how surfing helped his life and how to manage the ins and outs of day to day mental health overload. 

Winter is often a time for ferocious angry storms which produce huge swells, and we eyed up a pretty unique, one in ten year swell in fact, and headed out Back beyond the Horizon to take on a reef which sits 25k out at sea, NZ’s answer to Cortes Bank. Lead by Daniel Kereopa, a couple of complete virgins to the big game world, grab the rope and ride some massive mountains.

Blazing out of the heat of the 2018/19 summer comes the latest issue of NZ Surfing packed with the goods from the shores and surfers of Aotearoa. ON SALE NOW!!!!

On the COVER we feature our rising star Kehu Butler who after recently graduating from the junior ranks, is taking the big boys world in his stride and has already notched up several impressive results on the WSL Qualifying Tour. 

Inside you’ll find:
THREE WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT- We hit the road with the Raglan Surf Academy who spend most of their year going right. The stars aligned and we scored three unique pumping right-hand points in three days. 

7EVEN- Mr 7X Billy Stairmand just beat his own record taking his National Title haul to 7, we catch up with Billy on his new found focus for 2019 and what the title means to him as well as what he has his sights set on for the coming year.

THE NATIONALS: A welcomed return to the Naki after a 12-year hiatus saw a return to the legendary surf breaks of Surf Highway 45 and what sits as one of the greatest weeks in National Champs history. 

CAPTURED PHOTOSPREAD: Kiwi surfers on kiwi waves caught in the moment and preserved for eternity. 

THE TARADISE SESSIONS: The week of the National Champs pumped, yet there were plenty of epic sessions going down in between the heats and hooters over at the comp site. We feature some of the moments that clarify why locals call this place Taradise.

The much awaited NZ Surfing #186 has landed and it’s a historical issue that has lived up to all the hype.

While there have been plenty of rumours going round of this mythical wave being ridden off off Mahia Peninsula that has redefined what we thought was possible here on the shores of Aotearoa. Here it is for all to see blazing on the COVER. The madman pictured is none other than Sam ‘Sanga’ Willis who along with his tow partner Blair Stewart also joined by Damon Gunness and Tommy Dalton re-wrote the history book during this session which was a freak of a swell that hit and was gone all within a couple of hours. You can read all about the historical session from THE AWAKENING and the dramas that went down plus many more thunderous images of the lads threading tubes that you can drive buses through.

This issue is our 2019 Travel Feature with stories of surf adventures and the most popular surf destinations for kiwis all here in one package from Indo to the South Pacific and further afield.  We feature a Travel Gear Guide with offers from our most trusted gear suppliers and their latest offerings to make your travel experience that much more comfortable.

Xmas is here and so is the latest instalment of the Voice of NZ Surfers, NZ Surfing Mag!

On the COVER  we feature our main man Ricardo Christie who went on an end of year tear and in the running went on to make the final of The Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa the first kiwi to make an Hawaiian  final since Allan Byrne at the Pipe Masters in 1981. Lens man Shaun Tunney just so happened to be beachside during this remarkable feat and nailed such an iconic image of the man making his way up the beach having basically done enough to qualify for the World Tour. So we decided in the last hour before going to print to run this cover, our first portrait cover ever! But the stress wasn’t yet over, while we knew Ric had done enough, mathematically he could still be passed at Sunset, but we stuck to our guns and prayed we wouldn’t be coming out with FRONT COVER NEWS that was wrong.  During all of this Paige Hareb had also re-qualified for her 8th year on tour and was competing in the last event of the year at Honolua Bay which went off the richter and Paige claimed her best result of the year. We are soo proud of both of these surfers and look forward to the 2019 Season and a run at the Olympics for both.

NZ Surfing #183 On Sale!!

We survived winter and not only that, we scored some of the most epic waves for a very long time through these colder and shorter days. We roamed the country far and wide, kicking down with grassroots surfing, groms, and champions! A few lucky crew ventured offshore and returned with tales of life-changing sessions. All these and more make up the latest instalment from NZ Surfing.

On the Cover Brett Summerlee who, if you’ve met you will agree there is possibly not a more amped human on the planet, he headed off and an adventure of a lifetime with a heap of good mates to the Wavepark in the Mentawai’s and they walked straight into one of the best runs of swell in living memory, where they scored this epic session at No-Kandui. 

Featuring inside:

The Indian Ocean Lights Up- During the same period as the cover, the entire Indian Ocean was bombarded by swell after swell! For nearly a month the swell didn’t drop beneath six foot and peaked during the mega-viral swell, that saw the internet blow up when a 20-25 foot swell pounded the Indonesian coastline forcing an ocean-going ban enforced by the Indonesian Government. We feature the stories from a few Kiwis caught up in this madness, the highs and the lows!

The Surfboard Design Forum- Being our annual surfboard design issue,  firstly we take a look at ‘First’ surfboards, the first boards ridden in NZ and each surfers ‘first’. We also profile Paul Barron of the FlexBar technology, the latest of a long list of Kiwi innovators who have taken their ideas to the world. Roger Hall gives his advice on building a shortboard quiver, and we feature the latest designs from the top Kiwi and international manufacturers to help you choose your next board.

NZ Surf Mag July/ August

While Spring is usually the season for new life and new beginnings, we’ve delivered a little early this year with the latest issue of NZ Surfing and the first issue as the new owner for Cory Scott and his team at Nowhere Man Limited. Straight from the depths of the Aoteroa Chiller, we bring you the Winter Interview Issue which features:

On the COVER we feature one of our Kiwi WQS battlers in Elliot Pearata-Reid and while NZ bathed in some epic consistent waves for winter, places like Indonesia simply lit up. So often we see and hear how brutal the WQS tour can be with miserable, dribbly waves. But while on Tour and having scored some great waves for the contest in Sumatra, Elliot stayed on for a few days after the comp and scored big time!  
Interviews with a broad range of kiwi surfers from our pros to our industry to those out there in the world pioneering pathways in surfing. We catch up with Paige Hareb, Luke Cederman, Geoff Hutchieson, Christie Carter and Richard Christie.

Mangamaunu Under Threat:  One of our most iconic surf breaks now faces an uncertain future under the cloud of proposed construction.

The Hard Yards: Faced with the cleanest and biggest manageable swell in a few years.

The Rip Curl Pro Raglan: Against all forecasting odds, for what looked like a miserable surf outlook for the 2018 Raglan Pro, Raglan delivered!

Back In The Hood- With Jay Quinn: After 15+ years being based overseas in Australia and more recently Europe, which placed Jay in the spotlight of surf media and sponsorship opportunities, Jay is now back home in the hood! 

Chilled Lines Photospread:  

The Winter Survival Guide:  We’ve collated a heap of tips from the experts to surviving winters elements and making your surfing experience all that more comfortable. 

Plus much more NZ surfing goodness from the shores and surfers of Aotearoa!!!

Kiwis can fly Hola if ya hear me the home coming tour, In our pastimes as surfers we often have our minds blown or get to witness something truly unique while out there in our element we love to partake in.
