As a reader-supported, independent surf publication, The Surfer’s Journal is a truly unique periodical. They delve into topics that get little attention elsewhere, covering travel adventures, surfboard design, profiles of surfing’s most colorful subjects, and the choicest surf photography in every issue.

In this issue: 

On the Cover: Mark Healey dropping through critical airspace at the 2023 Eddie. “I shot this photo from a helicopter using a long lens,” says photographer Mike Coots. “As we arrived above Waimea, it was obvious these were some of the biggest waves I’d seen in my life. I can only imagine the adrenaline running through Healey’s body as he lunged from the sky into this giant.”
