Riptide Mag issue 166 should hit the streets as we speak. It’s got Sydney’s Jose Marquina at The Zone on the cover. “Jose cops 20 stiches after getting whipped, and then lands himself his first Riptide cover” says Riptide. Then you’ve got some How To tips with Gold Coaster Corey McLean. You’ve got a Byron Namenyi interview, Byron being a hardcore band singer and GC shredder. You’ve also got Port Macquarie’s Damien King and Jones Russell follow the footsteps on celebrated Aussie explorer Edward John Eyre in a wild, across Oz adventure. There’s a West Coast trip with VS Team Ryan Hardy, Mitch Rawlins and Pierre-Louis Costes. There’s a feature with Dallas Singer talking about “his busy university, bodyboarding and club president schedules”. There’s a Summer wetsuits review as well. And last but not least there’s a Glen “Pencey” Thurston’s gear giveaway.

Yewww that’s a lot for one issue actually. Sounds pretty good to us. Can’t wait to see that mag in the mail box !
