Over the past four decades surfing has remained the core focus of Zigzag. During those years however, we’ve featured many other board/wave related activities. From Jozi’s dry-docked pool skaters creating their own version of the Z-Boys’ infamous Dogbowl sessions, to the introduction of the boogieboard – we’ve covered them all.

Let’s take a peep back in the archives at some of the other stoke-inducing activities we’ve featured in Zag, or in one of our other publications like ‘Skate Edge’ or ‘Basher’.
