December 2006 - January 2007 Issue 73

Summer’s coming and the surf’s up! Our cover girl is 16-year-old Airini Mason who’s currently taking the surfing world by storm. Hot on her heels is another teenager, Mischa Davis – she’s also shaping up to be a top board rider. Read all about our young surfing guns and if you’re a surfing wannabe we’ve got some beginner’s tips for you.

If fishing’s more your thing, the legendary Bill Hohepa has some handy hints on how to catch the big ones this summer.

And speaking of legends, Moana Maniapoto caught up with veteran waka builder Hec Busby in Hawaii where he is greatly respected for his skills in reviving the art of waka building.

We’ve got traveller’s tales - from a man who followed his curiosity about the kumara to Peru- to a woman who is helping to save the rainforests in Papua New Guinea.

Closer to home we take a day trip with Potiki Adventures - an award-winning Maori tourism venture and we profile an amazing young man who is taking on the world of digital games and animation.

There’s a report card for the Maori Party’s first year in office. And we find the artistic side of activist Tame Iti.

For those who like to relax on the beach with a good yarn we’ve got some great summer reading with a short story from acclaimed writer Patricia Grace, a profile of Tahitian author Celestine Hitiura Vaite and copies of Patricia’s and Celestine’s books to give away.

We are also continuing to offer our readers the chance to win a luxury weekend for two in Rotorua with a special dinner hosted by TV’s Kai Time chef Pete Peeti and plenty of fine Tohu wine to wash it down with!
