FEATURES Pits of Pohnpei When Steph and Mick won their world titles they were close to the pinnacle – only one thing remained – the spread in PLB! Together they hatched a diabolical plan. Wedged between longboarders Taylor Jensen and Beau Young, with big wave waterman Dave Kalama as extra cover, they got on a trip to Micronesia with top photog Swilly and movie maker Matty Gye. Bingo, resulting in – the Pits of Pohnpei. Check ‘em out trading waves, words and equipment at this pumping remote break in the northern Pacific. Mission accomplished! Dream Fest The Noosa Festival this year was, by popular acclaim, the best ever. Great waves at First Point, top-shelf surfing (Christian Wach in the Noserider – unbelievable!) and heaps of engrossing off-beach action. Now-local Noosa resident Tommy Leitch wraps it up while Moonie provides the pics. Malfunction Pumps The big call in moving the Malfunction from Snapper to Kingscliff was again proved to be a masterstroke by organiser Sean McKeown and the Gold Coast Malibu Club, with another successful event held in some serious chunk. Phil Jarratt, on R & R after Noosa and not completely escaping his Noosa-based alter ego the GG, gives us the rundown from the surf club deck (and bar) as Dave Pioli takes #3 and Chelsea Williams just gets pipped. Wild California It’s easy to understand why this area north of Santa Cruz is one of Moonie’s favourite landing sites on earth. With Dane Perlee and some other locals he explores this rugged, raw, rocky and bloody cold coastline finding vast and empty beaches, plenty of swell and ominously, some half-eaten seals! Surfing 50 States Cammo catches up with a couple of Aussie boofheads who stumble around the USA on a mad mission to prove that surfing really is a state of mind - and then they made a movie about it. Elvis sightings in Memphis, Santa surfing in New York - these guys will do anything for a laugh. Their schoolteachers must be so proud! Lensflair Big beautiful piccies of Harry Roach stylin’ at Noosa and Dane Pioli going hard at Straddie. Masterclass Big Ben Bear Bennink folds his fabulous frame into the classic pig-dog pose and then expertly tells us how it’s done. DEPARTMENTS Page Three Girl Kelly Winter from Sunshine Beach takes her sunny disposition to Noosa. The Buzz More than gossip – the actual factual rundown on that’s movin’ and groovin’ in the longboard world – direct from those who’d know. Grey Guru Always at the centre of the universe, the GG heads to Mexico after the Noosa and Malfunction festivities but develops a suspicious sniffle after a bacon burrito! Comp File Full results from Noosa and the Malfunction. Hang Ten O’Hooligan Hangie’s cuz Swervin’ Mervin makes life hard for our hero but as usual against all the odds, he comes up trumps. Cutting Edge A highlight this issue – Pictures of the Coast, the new CD from Peter Howe and Tim Gaze – The Wavegrinder fin - Searching for MP – Richard Harvey’s Spirit of Adventure.
