If you’re one of the very few people who aren’t in Abersoch & Pwlheli for this year’s Relentless Wakestock then I have some good news for you, the new issue of Alliance is out today! In the biggest issue of the year we have an interview with the best rail rider to come out of the UK and Alliance Cover-star, Mr Marc Rossiter. Rossi has made the big move over to Florida and is 100% focused on his riding. Things are going well, he’s moved in with some genuine wake-royalty and is destroying every single rail in Clear Lake and Bithlo filming for a part in the new Company Wakeboards team film, ‘Good Company’. There are some epic photos from the likes of Bryan Soderlind and Jason Lee, so this is a feature you absolutely cannot miss.
 
Next up is the full recap of the ThinkTank Wakeskate Jam which took place in May, and this year the standard of riding was so ridiculously good that we had to extend the feature to 12-pages just to fit in half of the photos that we wanted to publish. We are a bit biased as we run the whole thing, but I’m confident in saying the is the best wakeskating event in the world right now in terms of promoting and progressing the sport in the way it should be practiced.
 
Looking for something different to do, we took a bunch of riders over to Bedfordshire for the day for some surfing on an industrial estate – yes you did read that correctly. The new FlowHouse in Bedford has just opened up for business with a sick standing wave that is fast becoming my favourite thing to do in the world. We also stopped by at Box End Park to get some new tricks on film and had a great day flowing in the Midlands. Read about it all from Page 74
 
Framed is packed full of beautiful photos, and as always there’s a beautiful girl waiting for you near the back on Page 100. Jimmy Lariche demonstrates how to do a perfect Indy shifty to frontside 180 in Come Correct, there’s an Inside interview with industry legend Stu Marston, and we give Chloe Goudie the Coming Up treatment on Page 88.
 
Finally, Collin Harrington, Parks and a host of other riders met up with some pro surfers for a boat trip around the British Virgin Islands in our Caribbean Convergence feature. This stunning part of the earth is amazing for both wakeboarding and surfing and you can read all about it from Page 64.
 
We’re stoked on the issue and if you haven’t already picked one up for free at Wakestock, then get along to your local shop as they have it in stock and waiting for you to pick up.
