Marc Paré jumps out at you on the cover of the first surf issue 2026! We conducted an in-depth interview with the new wave world champion in which he talks about his path to the title, but also about personal sacrifices and setbacks. He also talks about his job as a sail designer at Simmer Style. His prediction: new materials will determine development in the coming years.
In line with this insider's assessment, the surf test team took a look at different wave sail designs. We extensively tested a total of ten 2026 models, always comparing them in pairs to see how the expensive top versions differ from their basic siblings.
You can also read the story of how Andrea Hoeppner fulfilled a lifelong dream. The former racer and world champion was allowed to ride the legendary wave of Pacasmayo. She has written down for us how she prepared for it and what she experienced there!
Organiser Raffaello Gardelli also tells us how the canal in Namibia is being prepared for the Lüderitz Speed Challenge, Anton Richter reports on his first Aloha Classic and much more!
