The latest issue of Huck hits shelves this week, heralding the return of surfing Zen master Rob Machado. Having stepped away from the professional circuit for the mellower life of a family guy, Machado is back with a new film, new focus and new place in the spotlight. Huck caught up with the stylemaster on The Drifter promotional tour to find out how the fanfare and pageantry is affecting his soul surfer vibe.

Tech N9ne
And that’s not all. Thanks to a healthy reminder that the spirit of DIY is still alive, the pages of this issue reek of self-made sweat. Man of the people Tech N9ne builds an independent empire. Bulgarian skater Alex Kyourkiev brings down a wall. Snowboarding’s renegade torchbearer Terje Haakonsen burns the Olympics. The All-Ages Movement Project fights the system. New York City skaters make a home under the Bridge; Argentine locals carve theirs out of a hill. And No Age just say no, no, no!

Ari Marcopoulos
But if that’s not enough to whet your appetite, perhaps exclusive interviews with Dave Carnie, Peetu Piiroinen, Marie-France Roy, the Helgason brothers and Ari Marcopoulos will do the trick.
