CURRENT ISSUE: NO. 583

Longboarder, Lucy Small, wiggles five over the nose on the cover of issue 583. Last year, Lucy famously won a prestigious, Sydney contest and called out event organisers for the prize money discrepancy between men and women, find her interview inside.We also profile Kyuss King, Although barely in his 20s Kyuss has been a prodigious presence in surfing for the last decade. At the other end of the age spectrum we dial in Stephen Cooney and Rusty Miller. Some 50 years ago the destinies of the two surfers from opposite sides of the world collided as they stood on the edge of the reef at Uluwatu and leapt into history. Finally, our pictorial feature, ‘Urban Proximity’ pays tribute to those who hunt for work and waves in the shadow of concrete jungles – sometimes, the sexiest waves beak close to cities. Plenty more to see in issue 583. Enjoy.
