This issue starts with Laird Hamilton’s ode to Gerry Lopez, the twisted history of the kook cord, and a “Spin the Globe” that is best described as “frozen whale DNA.” Then, the lights are turned on for a night session at Ours, Nat Young remembers Magic Sam, and Logan Murray delves into the dilemmas facing a surf traveler in New Zealand.
