Nowhere invigorates the mind, body and soul like Hawaii. Heroes are made and reputations are crushed in a single session. Thousands flock to this chain of islands to live out their dreams every year and to ride alongside legends. But with a reputation like this comes a pecking order, in the water, on the streets and in the back of beyond. Ten guys who've carved out careers there and call Hawaii home for all or part of the year give us the low down on where watersports die-hards get washed up in the surf.

On the testing front, the Airush Vapor and Ozone Instinct Sport are both third generation models in the 'super hybrid' category, built for performance but with more ease-of-use than the traditional C kite. They have only just been released and we put them through their paces to see how they shape up.

Also, Robby Naish, Reo Stevens and Ben Wilson shove a large dose of wave kiting down Mick Fanning's crew's throat, we reveal the rustic beauty of the island of Sal, tell you the secrets of handling a wipeout, dish out the top tips to nailing the surface pass, indy grab and flat 3, Pavel continues his journey around Eastern Europe, an Arctic explorer tells his story of kiting to the South Pole and much, much more!
