With Tariffs Looming, Here are a Few Reasons to Buy a New Surfboard Today

Historically speaking, surfers could hardly ever be described as politically motivated. And I’m sure one could, if properly motivated, come up with a fairly plausible sociological reason as to why, especially during times of counter-cultural tumult, surfers as a collective didn’t join their sign-brandishing brothers and sisters in their struggle against the establishment [insert establishment of

Craigslist Finds: Our Favorite Adventure Rig Classifieds this Month

I love gawking at cool 4x4s and campers, and I also love a good deal.

This affinity for adventure rig classifieds is how I ended up with a 2006 Power Wagon a few years ago and how he scored a killer deal on an even

Ian Crane Packs a 4-Board Quiver for Maps to Nowhere

Before the most recent Maps to Nowhere trip, which featured a perfect, reeling sand-bottomed left somewhere in Africa, we asked San Clemente’s Ian Crane: how do you decide what boards to bring to a place you’ve never been? He foraged through his garage, called his shaper Matt Biolos, and came up with a few boards (and a bunch of Malaria meds) that’d cover all the bases, from soft, playful walls to
