Volume 33 Issue 3
In this issue, we examine Ralph Steadman and Hunter S. Thompson’s gonzo aesthetic applied to Hawaii. Other drops include a Noosa-raised champion’s wide-ranging skillset, photographer Larry “Flame” Moore’s deep cuts and greatest hits, and a conversation with an industrious DIY bodysurfer. We also flip through a well-traveled lensman’s scrapbook, view a Euro shooter’s idyllic images, and study responsible surf travel models that benefit locals.

Thompson and Ralph Steadman applied their vicious style to a book set in Hawaii. Critics hated it, readers didn’t buy it, and it swiftly fell out of print. Today, rare copies sell for more than $10,000. This is the story of a near-lost treasure of surf art.
