“A glimpse at Movement Issue 21. A glimpse at the future while we revisit the past. We’ve rolled a completely new format for this issue, printing landscape for the first time in the mag’s history. It makes sense because of all the shots we print each issue the overriding majority are shot landscape, meaning we’re always having to battle gutters in the middle of the page and cut out shots because there’s never enough room. Now free from the burden of having to fit square pegs in round holes we’re running more shots in the same amount of space, without having to resort to postage stamp inserts.

"As for living in the past, well this is the 21st issue and to celebrate we’ve dug through the archives and sourced a bunch of shots and stories that never aired in their heyday. Cool insights into the people and places that have made this magazine and the sport it survives on.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, some gear that will no doubt leave your jaw hanging loosely while your eyes try to digest the magnitude of the waves being ridden by that old crew of crazies from WA. Chad Jackson and Brad Hughes up the ante once more and leave us all gagging at the prospect of just how big guys are willing to go these days.

"We also gauge the new gen on our grom trip and splash a profile with the ever colourful Mason Rose.”
