Take a look: Surf Magazine 4/2023 is here - these topics await you in the magazine!

The new windsurfing season is just around the corner and the days are finally getting longer and warmer again! If you're thinking about updating your equipment this spring, you should definitely check out our great used equipment series. In the first part, we show you everything you need to know about used windsurf boards: Where are the weak points to look out for? How old can a board be? What price is reasonable?

When it comes to sails, besides the size, the question often arises: Which type of sail should it be? We'll show you the way to the perfect sail: from wave cloth to a relaxed freeride sail to a camber rig with seven battens, we'll show you all the pros and cons!

Freeride sails are the absolute all-rounders and offer plenty of fun! In the big comparison test, we pit nine freeriders of around six and a half square metres against each other. Which model will make gybing students happy, and which will make speed freaks grin?

Also in the new issue:

• The merger of PWA and IWT promises a mega wave tour with spectacular spots! But what does this mean for the riders? Lina Erpenstein and Philip Köster report on the travelling involved and the arithmetic games for world championship points.
• Our spot guide shows you the best spots on the Croatian island of Brac! A local thermal provides reliable wind, the golden horn at the World Cup spot Bol offers a spectacular backdrop!
• Freestylers are all young beach bums? Steven van Broekhoven is the personified proof to the contrary: At the age of 37, the Belgian is still among the world's best and lives a completely atypical life. surf editor Julian Wiemar has created an impressive portrait of the former world champion!
