This issue centers around a sprawling analysis of the Fletcher and Hoffman clan, with characters ranging from Christian to Flippy, Joyce to Dibi, and generational stories that span surfing’s entire modern age. Page space is also reserved for a road-and-boat trip through the nether regions of Chile, as well as a tonally rich portfolio of Indian Ocean photography from Tom Hawkins.
