Bucket List to the Backyard. Over the last couple of years, have you had a hankering to visit a faraway destination? The world has really opened up again, so for the first time since 2019 we’ve got a surf travel focussed issue, with stories of exploration, a travel directory to the surf destinations to visit this year, and an insider’s guide to some of the world’s best surf towns. Welcome back to travel… the possibility of the ultimate surf adventure awaits. If you’re not hopping on a plane to an exotic destination, for some of us winter means one thing –staying at home and surfing during the colder months. With a positive mental attitude we can embrace the chilly conditions, so in this issue we celebrate winter with all the good things about coldwater surfing – such as fewer crowds, better surf and that feeling of being alive! However you’re spending the next few months – in the tropics or surfing coldwater waves – enjoy it. Life’s what you make it, so live it well. - Louise Searle
