Issue 269 officially marks 45-years in print for Wavelength and what a ride it's been. Founded in 1981 by lovable rogue John Conway, the mag has changed with the times but has always reflected the nature of what's going on in the lineup. This special edition, featuring a dazzling cover from Cornwall artist Zach Rush, is a reflection of the past 45 years in print across these surf zones – which is one heck of a feat for any business.Inside, there's interviews with the UK's first Challenger Series competitor, Alys Barton, who sits down with Lottie Lewis to talk about the pressure of what's coming next. Young Irish penman Tadhg Kennedy examines the rising surf stars in Ireland – and what makes them tick. Scotland's Phoebe Strachan opens up about the future of cold water surfing. Meanwhile, the Basque Country's Natxo Gonzalez walks through a traumatic brain injury, as told to Dylan Stott – there is so much more inside too.

Bella Bunce, print editor of Wavelength said: “We would not be who we are without the constant lapping of waves at our feet, without the gathering of wetsuit friends and the safe spaces we are held in by surf. So thank you a million times over to the ocean, we hope these pages show how grateful we all are for you.
