[metaslider id=23081]

So when we launched Hardscope section on carvemag.com it was primarily for UK and Irish groms to showcase their talent, but then we get a message from this guy..Jack Symington from Australia’s Central coast.

“Hey CARVE mag, My names Jack and Im a 14 year old wave photographer. I just wanted to see if you were interested in sharing my page `Jack Symo Wave Photography` I’m only 14 and progressing in wave photography….I doubt you would be able to because you are so popular and probably have a lot of people ask you to share some of their stuff. But support is what I need right now and it would mean the world to me if you could share my page. thankyou so much and I love reading your magazines by the way. Thanks heaps Jack. (Here’s a shot a got if you want to share it to your fans as well)

"The other door" a short film

“The Other Door.” is a four-minute short film that explores the metaphorical “other door” cold water surfers pass through as the seasons change. Thick suits are swapped for thinner ones as the winter door closes and longer days and the summer door opens. Within a few weeks, the rhythm, the colors, and the surfs are different.

Just ride – Carve's 2014 retro longboard buyers guide

If you read the last issue you’ll know we are living in one of the greatest ever eras in terms of surfboard design. It’s an age unlike any other where anything goes, designs are being tweaked daily and shapers have both the greatest divergence of influences, freedom of expression and at the same time access to the best shaping machines, materials and craftsmen in history. The result of the past few years is clearly marked in performance shortboard history, where the fireball and keel fish have left their mark. The same can be said of the retro market. It’s now all about the ride.
