From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Summer means surfing for London's small but ardent surf community. Keen urban surfies will be sizing up new boards for the season. The buzz has it that Ocean Magic boards, designed by top British shaper and ex-European champion Nigel Semmens, are the most dependable. The boards can be bought off the shelf (by beginners) or custom made to order. This would include everything from design specifics to a snazzy (or plain) paint job. They cost no more than off the peg boards and take about three weeks to make. 'Semmens is aware of new design concepts and his boards are of a consistently high standard,' says Ollie Fitz Jones, co-owner of Low Pressure, London's only surf shop.
Ocean Magic boards cost pounds 295 at Low Pressure, 186 Kensington Park Rd W11 (071-792 3134) Mon-Sat 10am-6pm/ Sun 11am-5pm.
