“Young, dumb and full of… come on now, there’s children present. The new ‘Youth Issue’ of Wavelength is out in the shops now, and quite frankly, working on it has slightly dampened my dreams of ever winning the World Tour. OK, so a guy who is, like, way older than me, may have won it last year, but hot on his freakish heels are three teenagers who are separately being hailed as the best surfers in the world. John John Florence graces our cover and won the Pipe Masters in December, Gabriel Medina had an amazing year on tour and is destined to be crowned champ someday soon, but Kolohe Andino is also turning heads and could be the outside favourite to win the CT first. Tim Nunn gives us his tips on who to put your money on.
Thankfully, here in the UK we have some seriously impressive teen surfers coming up the ranks too. This issue, we kind of got a bit obsessed with the thumping waves of Portugal, and took two very different groups of the best British groms to show us what they’ve got in the hollow training grounds. We also hear three disturbing stories from a winter in Ireland, meet one of the UK’s youngest shapers, talk ‘old school’ with a 12 year-old style-master, get the behind the scenes story on the Bristol Wavegarden, and give you some alternative travel arrangements that will make you feel ten years younger! In fact, the latest issue of Wavelength is guaranteed to make you look younger than plastic surgery or a bucket of Oil of Ulay*… Buy a copy now before it’s too late! (*we cannot guarantee this)”
