The Surfer’s Journal, Issue 35.1

As a reader-supported surf publication, The Surfer’s Journal is a truly unique periodical. It’s an independent take on the surfing experience with limited advertising, making each 140-page issue almost entirely editorial. We 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. Coupled with the premium construction, The Surfer’s Journal is a product that is peerless in its quality and content.

In this issue:

This issue features an interview with Chris Miller, a hobbyist surfer and pioneering skateboarder boasting a four decade long career that began following a move from California to Claremont in the 1980’s; archival snapshots of post-war Malibu; a 26-page profile and conversation with ‘the famously elusive surf god’ Dane Reynolds; a feature on Marrawah landscape painter Zoe Grey, exploring how the tide is changing for Tasmanians following recent cultural recognition—with a marked ‘shift in how mainland Australians see Tasmania’; and, a portfolio of Jack Johns’ dramatic photographs of the Cornish coast. 

On the cover: ‘A study in midcentury trim through the archivist’s eye of John E.O. Larronde’ by Grant Ellis.
