Drop-knee! Megan McHale is a viticulturist and vintner (a winemaker) from Oahu who has worked on annual vintages in California, France and New Zealand. She’s also a ridiculously good longboarder, and was the subject of our Up Front mini profile in Issue 119 last year.
This shot by Andrea Scheres was taken at Whangamata on the North Island, NZ. Cheers!

FRIDAY FLASHBACK: First Point Noosa, and this was sent to us out of the blue by the great Californian gent Ron Greene:

“Found this on an old MacBook. Christian Wach at full throttle behind the curtain at thumping First Point many moons ago. Pretty sure it was 2014 but maybe it was earlier. Great surf and light that year!”

Just relax. One shot from our 16-page “On Tour With Tommy” portfolio in Issue 120. “When we weren’t by ourselves at this Sri Lankan peeler we were joined by Karson Lewis – all the way from North Carolina. And we were lucky enough to hang and surf with her for most of this trip.” Photos by the maestro Tommy Pierucki.

BELLS BEACH: Beatrice Conroy won the Victorian Longboard Titles to book a wild card spot for the WSL World Tour leg at Bells beginning September 17. She’ll give it a shake!

SUNDAY GOLD: Less is more - again. This 1963 shot of Midget Farrelly kinda reminded us of our social post from yesterday of Kiara Maguire - some 62 years later.

Surfing’s great like that, and especially longboarding. Style is timeless.

The Midget shot was taken by Bob Weeks at North Narrabeen - the Kiara photo was taken by Tim Vanderlaan at Wanda.

Kiara also rips on shortboards btw. Check out Bob at: bobweeksphotography.com.au

Less is more: Kiara Maguire just soaking it up at a Southside Malibu Club monthly comp at Wanda in Sydney. This photo ended up gracing the cover of the hardcover book Tim Vanderlaan produced to celebrate the club’s 40th Anniversary. It’s also the main shot in our Up Front mini profile with Kiara in the current Issue 123. Print lives! Pic: Tim Vanderlaan

FRIDAY FLASHBACK: Diamonds - midday at Bowls. The Leahi crater (brow of the tuna). Hayley Otto levitating. This first ran as our Contents spread back in Issue 110 - kinda timeless though. Pic: Mike Ito

Natalie Wessels flying a cheater five with Tyler Warren appreciating - and it has the feel of a ‘60s Stoner or Severson image you think?

This photo by JJ Wessels ran in the Lens Flair pages of Issue 114. Issue 123 is out now - print is where we live. *Tag in bio

TEXTURES: One shot from the portfolio of renowned German photographer Simon Fitz in the current Issue 123. It’s a full 10-pages of Simon’s distinctly beautiful photos coupled with words from his great mate Vovô Balian. And that just happens to be Vovô racing that wall somewhere in southern Portugal.

SUNDAY GOLD: Two shots of Chelsea Williams hanging 10 on the NSW North Coast shortly before she won the 2014 WSL World Longboard Title. Chelsea had been a close runner-up on the tour four times already and nothing and no-one was going to stop her this time.

These are from a 10-page profile we ran in the mag at the time with words by Lucy Small. Lucy was still a teenager and it was the first major piece we’d asked her to write, and the first she’d had published in print. It was an impressive piece of writing.

We were a bit short on action shots so hooked Chelsea up with ace photographer Simon Williams (no relation) for a trip down the coast - and although the ocean was as flat as a tack he came back with some gems, longboards and short. Swilly was also raving, “She is the most amazing, adventurous surfer!” A few weeks later she was a most deserving world champ.

Print is the s**t! *tag in bio
