In May, surf editor Manuel Vogel was able to go on what was probably the most unusual business trip of his career: Instead of heaps of board bags full of equipment, a small bag with a T-shirt and flip-flops was enough, and on site there were industrial halls instead of beaches and water. In Thailand, we were able to take an exclusive look behind the scenes at Cobra and scrutinise the largest surfboard production facility in the world! Find out what there was to see and experience and how the boards of our dreams are built there in the new issue of surf!
Much closer are the Steinhuder Meer and the Dümmersee! The two large lakes in Lower Saxony offer a variety of conditions and spots for every wind direction - whether for a little after-work surfing or as a holiday destination. Local Beeke Fitschen tells you what you need to know!
We've also tested everything you need for the summer: Board bags for aeroplanes and cars, surf shoes for protection and comfort, sun hats for a cool head instead of a red head and much more!

Andreas Erbe
Chief editor surf
Andreas was born in 1962 and grew up in Osnabrück. He became passionate about windsurfing as early as 1974, when he learned to tack and jibe at one of the first surf schools on the Baltic Sea. Lake Dümmer became the favorite playground of his youth for him and his friends. In 1988, he joined Surf Magazin as a tester and later editor and was lucky enough to be able to turn his passion into a career. Andreas has been responsible for the magazine's content as editor-in-chief since 2002. His favorite spots are those on the Danish North Sea and Baltic coasts.
