PREVIEW
Surf 4/2022 on newsstands from 23 March with these topics.
Test Freemoveboards: Here you can buy 95 litres of high-proof spirits. Free for sale without age restrictions.

However - as the test shows - in completely different
mixes!
Michi Schweiger: He started out as a surf instructor and is now Robby's right-hand man. Michi Schweiger once moved from Vienna to the world of windsurfing and became a product developer at Naish. In this interview, he looks back. And looking forward.
