The Surfer's Journal 34.4
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 colourful subjects, and the choicest surf photography in every issue.
In this issue:
Beau Cram, the Box. “He’s a natural talent, a twin-fin king, and always smiling,” says photographer Tom Pearsall. “He had the biggest grin on his face five frames before this one, until a step in the wave dropped his stomach.”
In this issue, we dissect a cult surf auteur’s mood board, converse with a Euro festival host, and unpack the physical and emotional consequences of pushing beyond one’s limits in heavy, remote waves. We also learn about polite crowd tactics, the parallels between a vineyard and a lineup, and the origin and influence of the V-slot fin. Further threads include a West Oz shooter’s full-weight visions from his region’s slabs, a fine-art photographer’s unearthing of a lost roll of film, and a study of a vandal’s path to surfing and accidental entrepreneurship. Pick up a copy of our new issue for the full ride.
