BEHIND THE COVER
Legendary Mark Matthews had an idea about
double towing at ‘The Right’ in Australia, and at
the same time he would shoot Taj Burrow from
behind.
From Russell Ord:
“On this day both Mark and Taj started with a
couple of warm-up waves, smaller, cleaner and
user-friendly. However, it did not take long for
Mark to say, “let’s go this one”. I could see this
dark mutant beast coming from miles away
and knew it was one of the biggest waves of
the day. They both let go of the rope so there
was no escape; they were at the mercy of the
ocean. I documented a piece of history, the
wave decided not to participate – it shut down
violently. Taj made it to safer ground, however
Mark got the beating of his life.”

Whereever we go,
our preferred car
hire is...
We use RAD car hire, not just because
of the great range of cars, but because
it’s so easy and so simple. There's not
the long wait while you sign multiple
bits of paper, they are streamlined
and efficient. This time in Queenstown
we picked up a Hyundai Santa Fe,
an awesome SUV. The modern and
elegant exterior design packed full of
the latest technology, connectivity and
entertainment functions. The Santa Fe
sets a new benchmark when it comes
to safety with its SmartSense package
that includes the all-new Rear Occupancy
Alert and Safe Exit Assist and the driver
assist makes you feel like its driving you.
