Shortly after the record being broken by an absolutely massive wave in Portugal, another contender for the title of the biggest wave ever surfed pops up. What makes this one special is that it’s a local charger, Grant ‘Twiggy’ Baker who is the surfer. The actual measuring of the wave is a very difficult job [...]

After strolling through the Getaway show this past weekend the Viano Fun caught my eye immediately! I’ve owned a 1970 VW Westfalia kombi previously and loved every moment of it, sneaking away any day that I had a chance. There is just something so magical about being able to hop into you van and head [...]
