In this issue

We pull into an understudied zone in South America, an outer-island hand-built home in Hawaii, and Paris’ 18th arrondissement—where an artist is hellbent on “transgressing surfing’s codes.” We also track a South African father and son’s experimental roots, study a Japanese artist’s interpretation of the human experience, and remember a late San Diego shaper’s indelible legacy.
