Chris Friend, Duranbah swerve, Australia

Are you magnetised to photographs of very good rail turns in this aerial-soaked age? Do they make you tingle and make you wanna go dig your heels in? Speed ain’t always best-spent on a roter. Chris Friend, pictured here, can turn real hard, real well. Stab‘s also fond of the fact that, while Chris surfs in professional events and has sponsorship, he’s also completing a university degree. His eggs ain’t all in the same basket. Such maturity! In his career and his turns!
