'What goes up, must come down!'
It has been said that onshore is the new offshore! Hardly surprising when you consider what a rubbish
season of surf we've had recently – some people can't even remember what offshore conditions look like! So it's no wonder that surfers are making the most of what onshore surf can offer with airs being the most obvious option. Surfing is constantly progressing with the
next generation always looking to new ways to push the limits and certainly the aerial repertoire of many of the worlds top surfers is allowing them to do just that – take Julian Wilson and the 720! So we've decided it's time to pay homage to aerial surfing before
anybody else decides that it's not just the air reverse that has had its
day! So welcome to our special SURPHANG 'AIR'TEEN ISSUE!

Next IssueAnd there you go! If that air fest didn't take you
off into the stratosphere of mindsurfing then nothing will! But now it's back to earth with a bump... or is it? Summer has finally arrived for the Northern Hemisphere and those fun filled days of sun and surf lie endlessly ahead of us.
And for our friends down south, those pumping warm winter swells are knocking at your shores
so life's swell for us all! With all that in mind, we're off on our summer break ourselves too!But never fear, we'll still be here, back at theend of the season with a fresh new batch of
stunning shots to share with you all! So until then, do as our friend Dale here has done, get amongst it, get out there and get shredding!
