In this issue

We chase an Eddie-worthy swell from Hawaii to California, roll with an eight-time world champion at a career crossroads, and navigate the mores of Pacific Rim fixers. We also delve into the decade-spanning photo file of a Big Island-based shooter, study Caribbean and New England-infused impressionism, view a portrait study of foam mowers, and more.
