sage & surfing world




a great article in the latest issue of Surfing World with interview & photos by Andrew Kidman of Sage Joske. Sage & Andrew discuss the magic of surfing wooden craft with their usual eloquence.

further into the issue is another article by Andrew with Bert Berger also weighing up the wood/flex factor. All makes for a good read.
