The mag opens with a time-bending Shipstern edit from Gondwanan lensman @nickgreenphoto. It was so good we couldn’t work out what shot to run on our tripped-out, tin-type cover… so we ran two, @jimmy_mckean and @max_mcguigan. From there we chase swells to Phillip Island and Bells, before we follow @tedgrambeau on his year-long travel bender. We profile @josie_prendergast, @ethan_ewing and @blakeyjohnston, Derek Hynd catches up with Jeremy Byles, @walker.daly takes over the Indies Trader legacy from his old man, and @timstevenson gets the waves of his life in Namibia despite the airline losing all his boards. SW421 is a beast, grab a copy and support independent surf culture.
