Did you know that…

…the temperature in your car on a beach parking lot on a sunny day can go all the way up to 50-60 C° (122-140 F°) ! Imagine now what will happen to your board if you leave it in your car all the arvo ! Stop the massacre: take your board(s) outta your car and keep it with you, it will be less hot, wherever you are than it is inside the car. Note that direct sun heat is the worse thing ever. Always put a towel or something over the board. In the summer avoid riding dark-colored boards, the foam will get hotter faster. (Black boards, Navy boards…). Yes, all the pros have black boards and even on their trips to puerto escondido and indo they ride black boards but unlike you they dont pay for their boards. Ha ! White, light blue and yellow boards (or any light color) are the way to go for long-lasting summer boards.

Vert Mag Issue79 out

New Vert Mag is out. Issue 79 (June) has an exclusive Mike Stewart interview, a Cook Islands trip and heaps more articles. Cheers to Toze and his crew for delivering such a cool mag. Even if i personnaly dont read Portuguese or understand it, the mag looks awesome (yes i’ve got this issue on my desk as i’m writing this) with great pics, great layout, perfect printing quality and design, pretty much like a Movement Mag by made in Portugal. Portuguese riders can be proud of their mag and riders, i’m telling you. Check the cover / features here.
