On the cover of our new issue: Ian Crane (@ian_crane), South America. “It was late in the day,” says photographer and TSJ photo editor Grant Ellis (@grantellis1), “the light was just getting right, and the waves were solid. Ian’s best known for being progressive, but he’s also smooth. He was experimenting with a four-fin, drawing his turns out as far as he could at full speed.” On the back: An unidentified Santa Monica cruiser, circa 1965. Photo by Earl Leaf.
