On the cover: Ian Crane, South America. “We were at a lesser-known point with just a couple locals,” says photographer and TSJ photo editor Grant Ellis. “It was late in the day, the light was just getting right, and the waves were solid. Ian’s best known for being really progressive, but he’s also smooth. He was experimenting with a four-fin, drawing his turns out as far as he could at full speed.”

In this issue, a shaper hellbent on fast cars and boards shares his checkered past, a three-time world champ sessions Kiwi slabs alone, two brothers brave hazards in Antarctica while searching for waves, a French photographer opens his golden-age-inspired file, and more. Pick up your copy today.
