Long Lead

As a travel writer, journalist Kade Krichko spent over 180 days of the year on the road. In his time traveling, he "had a lot of help. I was working with fixers, translators, other journalists, professors, and sources in these areas," getting interested in their own perspectives on travel stories.

While reporting Long Lead's feature TITLE WAVES in Hawaii, writer Kim Cross had the opportunity to go on a paddle out and spread some of her mother's ashes. The journalist recalls that she had the "best surf of my life" with her mother's mana surfing with her.
